Since switching to predefined ATR stops/targets and not babysitting trades, my equity curve smoothed out; I only live-manage around high-impact news. Anyone tested partials vs full take profit targets on D1 timeframe?

I run a hybrid with HFM: set-and-forget on higher TFs with ATR stops, then live-manage only on scheduled news days; fewer in-bar decisions = fewer emotional errors.

Same here: set-and-forget on H4/D1 with ATR-based stops and alerts improved my P/L because I stopped babysitting trades. Live trading is exciting, but the fewer in-bar decisions I make, the fewer emotional errors I see

I learned the hard way to avoid GBP/JPY early on. Trading EUR/USD with HFM during London hours taught me execution and spread discipline without the whipsaws

In my testing with HFM, the edge comes from how you define trend (e.g., structure + ADX filter) and, especially, from exits and risk, not from the trend label itself.

OI is equal longs=shorts; those fast moves in “long/short dollar ratios” often come from price revaluing notional exposure or how the venue aggregates accounts, not a directional OI change

My M15 entries only work when anchored to H1/H4 structure. Also, claims like “100% non-repaint” and “you will never lose” are red flags - could the OP share verified backtests or a Myfxbook/TE?

Thanks for laying out the majors. Quick question: do you treat crosses like EUR/JPY as minors, and have you noticed spreads widen much during rollover compared to EUR/USD

I'm new here, and I’m learning fast: overtrading, chasing losses, trading outside the volatile sessions, and risking too much capital are mistakes I’m actively avoiding. From my limited experience, sticking to a strict strategy and keeping trades small ( less than 2%) is already helping me stay...

Фs a pro trader I stress test with strict risk controls—it’s simple but you’ve got to filter signals carefully

I always recommend starting with EUR/USD and USD/JPY with HFM due to their tight spreads and reliable liquidity Those pairs give you real-time market feedback without excessive slippage or volatility

I traded with HFM too - the EUR/USD spreads as low as 0.02 made scalping practical, and fast execution really helped avoid slippage during volatile news moves

skipped structured learning and paid dearly. Now, even after 4 years trading, I go back to fundamentals before every new strategy to avoid repeating those rookie mistakes.

U.S. PPI and jobless claims data could define the Fed’s next move. I'm sitting out until after the release to avoid any surprise volatility.

I resonate fully - starting with a structured education (even free resources) spared me countless newbie mistakes before I went live
