Aliassmith Beats a "Dead Horse"

[aliassmith]

Looking at US30 M1 to see what Dave sees.
Definitely opportunity on this chart.
I think that was a judas swing at about 9:00 on this chart or Frankfurt open. Either way I traded it. I made 3 trades on this chart.

[aliassmith]

Was that a judas swing at a FVG bounce off 20sma?
Hmmmm
Made some pips anyways.

[aliassmith]

Wonder if my 180 points on US30 is any good?
So $1000/180 points = $5.60/pt.
Not sure if you can get $5.60 on a high leverage $600 account.
Maybe I can be like Dave.

Yesterday I signed up for a trial evaluation account with E8funding.
(I always learned; If you fall off a horse you climb back up)
They have a slick looking dashboard.
Unfortunately the account gets locked (for 14 days) and you can't trade anymore after hitting the target (which is actually half of the target).
Guess they want you to sign up and pay real fast.
Unfortunately I have some soulsearching to do first.

I did feel that trading at E8 felt a bit smoother when comparing it with MFF.
At MFF I also noticed that when my SL was at BE +1 I still got knocked out for -2 several times
This together with the fact that I send a question at MFF customer service 29 days ago and I'm still waiting for an answer means I may not be going back to them when I am ready.

If you get a paid trial or even a live account report back about them.

A SL becomes a market order. In fast enough moves it could slip the exact SL value. This is more likely to happen on the US30 or NAS.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean with "report back about them". Do you mean that I should let them know?

I also tested it btw. with a couple of trades. It happened in normal moving markets and slippage shouldn't happen with my 1 or 2 lots. If you know it happens you can avoid it. So closing a position before it hits the SL is a simple solution.

You should let us know anything you find out about E8.

US30 M1
10 -11 22 14 22
Good enough I am tired and I don't have a 3 hour podcast to make.

I have been trying to be more patient for larger moves on the M1 chart.
I have been trying to control my downside better by using actual SL orders. Makes it easier trading on my phone.

US30 M1 again
Been studying Dave as PRO twisted my arm to do so....
I watch an hour or so of his videos at a time. I think I'm on training video 3.

I've implemented some of his ideas into my trading. I may have actually improved. I've pretty much traded PA and Structure most of my trading.

As indicators go I do like ATR(12) so I have an idea of volatility.
The 20 sma is a visual crutch that I use in certain situations.
Other than that PA and Structure it is.

Today's point total is 144. Think of it how you want. It could be 1% or 80%. Ok ok it was 8%
