Agree that consistency is painful at first. What changed my results on hfm was one year of boring reps on a demo then small live with a journal and weekly reviews, and I still learn more from my losers than winners

I also cannot watch the phone all day and it makes bad decisions. After few years I use set and forget on H4 with ATR stop and I check only at key hours, so I do not babysit trades. Live managing I do only on big news days because otherwise I overtrade

When both setups show edge I split risk and size half on each or stand aside if correlations spike. You can also make a meta rule like “trade the first signal only and skip the second” to keep discipline

From my allocator side I do not touch HFM PAMMs that show over 20 percent max DD or a smooth curve that looks unreal, and I want at least 12 months live history

I learned on EURUSD during London hours first on hfm demo for three months then small live and consistency improved when I stopped hopping pairs

Set and forget works best for me on H4 D1 with ATR based stops because it removes my urge to babysit. I still live manage only on red news days and that cut a lot of emotional errors

Treat fundamentals like a schedule, not a signal - I reduce size or skip around red-folder releases, then journal the decision. Backtests with hfm say my edge survives best when I avoid the first minutes after major prints

returns being “almost too smooth”—that’s a red flag I’ve learned to respect. For a PAMM at HFM, I personally treat ~10–20% max drawdown as already aggressive

Well, the biggest shift for me on hfm was fixing risk to 1R, pre-writing exits, and journaling every trade - edge shows up only when execution gets boring and consistent

PAMM is basically ‘you allocate capital, a manager trades, P/L is split by allocation.’ If someone’s considering it, I’d treat it like due diligence: verify track record and max drawdown

Set-and-forget on H4/D1 with ATR stops has clearly helped folks here reduce in-bar decisions

In my workflow with hfm the combo that moves the needle is clean charting + an economic calendar + a position-size calculator; indicators are context, not signals.

The “passing” style that lasts (in my view) is boring: one or two mechanical setups, fixed risk, and you stop trading when conditions aren’t there - because prop rules punish creativity

EURUSD taught me structure - tight spreads + deep liquidity make execution cleaner. I avoided GBPJPY until my journal showed I could handle the noise; majors during London hours let me focus on one playbook before branching out

Beyond the classics (EURUSD/GBPUSD), I’m watching USDJPY and AUDJPY—policy shifts out of the BoJ and Asia-centric risk cycles can create sustained moves. Liquidity is solid and the macro catalysts are clear
