Are there any other prop firms with more favourable rules that would better suit your trading style? Once you pass will the rules change at all for the better? I've had a good day, mopped up yesterday's loss and have managed to get back to 28% of my ...

Solid start to the day however got pumped by GU, even with loading up the tail end I still ended up handing back half the weeks profit. Should of exited on the previous high however I wasn't paying attention to the screen (don't say anything Nik ...

I would love to be able to monitor trades constantly however its not possible as I have a full time day job. Some days I am at a computer all day other times I can only glance at my phone for a few minutes at a time. I've adapted my trading style ...

Thanks for the insight. I'll have a practice next week following similar thinking and see how I get on. I got shot of the sma20 as to me it didn't seem like price respected it like it does the 50. I did have some joy trying to catch mini trends ...

Real nice trades Nik. I'm still not sure how you decide on some of those entries but they always seem to work out well. I like Charli86 had an experience with EU. Damn trend had me trapped since early this morning until a few minutes ago. That's the ...

I'm caught up in EU too! The news almost got me out clean but missed by a few pips. I've hedged, will return in a few hours to hopefully more promising activity. Failing that it'll be left over the weekend.

Good day today, the EU downtrend proved a touch difficult to work my way out of. Given how price can just start to drift slowly after 4pm I decided to up the lot size and get out on the first decent push towards the 200 with a small loss. Glad I ...

As I'm travelling today I kept all trades short as I didn't want to end up a few orders deep then have to get on a flight that had no WiFi. Still, I feel sick on the gold run that I bailed out early on. image image image image

I feel these firms impose too many rules. You had that challenge in the bag, that recovery during the big trend was epic. I'm not bothering to try get funded, going to plough on with my own money sans rules. Week closing with 6% account gain, would ...

M1 Countertrend Scalping Strategy

Quite a slow day for me so far. I did some +SL small scalps but missed two of the peaks, one of which being the nice drop to the 200... I should of let my first order just roll but felt panicked about gold firing up for some reason. Less would of ...
