Regulation and withdrawals matter more to me than the lowest spread. I usually open a small account first and test deposits, withdrawals, and slippage during news to see the real execution

A fixed daily money target sounds nice, but trading income is not linear, so it is better to think in terms of risk per trade and monthly performance over many trades. If you are losing in binary, I would stop it and move to spot forex or indices with strict risk limits and real stop losses

Monthly bias works well as a map, but I only take trades when daily structure confirms it around clear levels. In crypto I also check weekly, because daily can flip fast while the bigger trend is still intact

I am careful with EAs that look great in backtests, because real spreads and slippage can change the outcome a lot. If it is really solid, share a verified live track record and the exact broker conditions used. Also keep risk low, one bad regime can wipe months of gains

Monthly bias is useful, but I only trust it if structure is clean on weekly too. For crypto, daily can flip fast, so I treat monthly as context and take entries only when daily aligns with it. What coins are you tracking right now, BTC only or alts too?

From my trading, trend is simplest when you combine market structure with higher timeframe levels, not only indicators. On H1 and H4 the trend is cleaner and fake signals are less

I use the data as bias and time entries with structure. After big prints like CPI I only hold the bias while DXY stays above the prior day range high

I trade higher timeframes and use alerts, then place OCO orders so I can focus on my job and not stare at charts all day

Routine helps you avoid emotional decisions and trade more calm. In my first months I was trading random, but after I start check news and review my last trades every day, my losses became smaller. Routine is boring, but for me it is the reason I still survive in this market

I trade similar 50/200 EMA structure with hfm and what helped me is adding an ATR filter and higher-timeframe bias (H4→H1) to avoid chop. Also I only take signals during active sessions; this simple filter improved my R:R noticeably

I didn’t go full-time until I had 12+ consecutive months of live results and a year of expenses saved. Important to have a plan for taxes, health insurance, and the inevitable zero-setup months

1–2% per trade works if it sits inside daily/weekly loss limits (e.g., 3R/day, 7R/week) and you adjust for correlated exposure. I size from ATR-anchored stops and halve risk when realized vol spikes - survival first, compounding second

clean structure + liquidity make the multi-day holds way easier to manage; I’m filtering EUR/USD and USD/JPY with DXY trend + policy divergence, and adding GBP/JPY only when volatility is behaving

This matches what I’ve seen: even if a latency edge works on demo, live execution policies and last-look kill it fast; broker risk teams don’t tolerate it. If you insist on “arbitrage,” stick to clearly permitted carry/swap plays and expect lower but sustainable returns

“setting strict risk limits” is the real unlock. What helped me most wasn’t hype motivation - it was a simple pre-trade checklist + a hard daily loss limit so I can’t revenge trade even if I want to

Classic EA issue: check AutoTrading on, DLL/Algo permissions, symbol suffix (EURUSD vs EURUSDm), and min lot/step—then read the Journal/Experts log for the exact rejection reason. In my experience with hfm 90% of “no trades” is filters

Scalping got ‘easy’ only after I standardized: one session, two pairs, and an execute-or-pass checklist (spread threshold, no-news window, stable connection)

In my experience with hfm, a 20 EMA + RSI pullback approach works best when you add a higher-timeframe filter, like only taking M15 entries in the direction of the H1 or H4 20 EMA. I’ve also found that using ATR for dynamic stops (e.g. 1.5–2x ATR) and targeting recent structure highs/lows...

Before anyone buys, can we see a verified Myfxbook/FXBlue with at least 6 months and open-trade visibility? I’ve backtested/forward-tested similar EAs on HFM and the hidden martingale/averaging logic + wide SLs usually make the ‘15–20%/month’ claims vanish on live spreads

Seen this a lot during high-vol spikes: it’s usually your execution path, not indicators. Try a VPS in the same region as your broker, close heavy charts, and switch to MT5’s 64-bit build—then stress-test on NFP with one chart + DOM to see if it still chokes.
