Two similar EUR/JPY sell trades will be analyzed as one.
The opening was conditioned by the continuation of the correction within the uptrend. The top at 163.460 was identified and then followed by a sharp return to the zone below 163.000, suggesting that continued growth and even a retest of 163.460 would be unlikely. However, there was still the possibility of a narrowing horizontal correction forming, and in this case, in order to prevent losses, I set a stop loss at 163.329 and 163.343.
Further decline was also confirmed by the MACD crossing the signal line on the 15-minute chart, as well as the RSI leaving the oversold zone.
Thus, after a short-term growth, I decided to enter the market and set take profit at the level of 162.759 and 162.726, in the zone of EMA 100 influence, since I considered its penetration as unlikely.
The trades were closed at the take profit level, their duration was a little more than 4 hours and the total balance increase was 1.82%.

Raven1209 posted:Hi all. Had an interesting experience with Tesla recently. Thought I nailed the entry point, but the market had other plans. Ended up with a loss that left me scratching my head. Lesson learned: even with big players like Tesla, thorough analysis is key. Now, I'm revisiting my strategy, looking at where I misread the signals. Excited to hear your thoughts on dissecting trades—maybe someone else had a Tesla tale too?
In my recent GBP/USD trade, initiated on February 21st, I entered a short position at 1.26044. A stop loss was set at 1.26329, just above a minor resistance point to limit risk, while the take profit was placed at 1.25752, targeting a previous support level.
The trade closed on the same day at the stop loss level, resulting in a $5,700 loss. This outcome suggests that my bearish outlook was perhaps premature, or I may have overlooked short-term bullish signals. It's a reminder of the volatile and unpredictable nature of forex markets and the necessity of rigorous risk management.

@WhiteWitcher continuing the discussion, for example, market analysis can be significantly enhanced by tools using artificial intelligence.
As for more abstract approaches, there are always open questions in studying the psychology of traders and market behavior. I believe this is very important in crypto trading, where the reaction of the holders decides a lot.

But if you plan to develop your own system in the future, then analyzing even other’s trading or ea trades will help you gain the necessary experience.

WhiteWitcher posted:Well I suppose the market is difficult to predict, but it is possible. This imposes a high risk, but isn't the whole point of trading to reduce the risk of losses and increase the likelihood of winning?Oscar555 posted:Oh there are no unpredictable markets. lol.
I see your point, @MarcellusLux , about the advancements in AI and psychological studies in trading. While these are undoubtedly promising, we must also be cautious about overestimating technology's ability to predict market behaviors accurately, especially in unpredictable markets like crypto.

How can you trust anyone 100%. Perhaps if there are some qualifications , accreditation, or regulation, but there is nothing like that in Forex. Someone could be eloquent, smart, and convincing, but they could still be a scammer just pretending.

Very informative post!

MicroCake134 posted:I talked about sufficient trust, about careful selection before buying an advisor but not about 100% trust. Without trust how can I use for example a purchased advisor with my real money? Is it turns out that you shouldn’t trust anyone in principle and you shouldn’t trade Forex either in your opinion??

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write advisors
What about you?

Analysis of the EUR/JPY trade which was closed yesterday with a loss of -1.63%.
The trade lasted 3 hours 12 minutes and covered -55.0 pips.
On the daily, four-hour and hourly charts there was a strong MACD signal to continue the fall, while the uptrend channel on the daily chart was previously broken after falling below 161.500 and breaking the EMA 200 level on the four-hour chart. Also, the EMA on the hourly and four-hour charts were above the price level, which suggested a further fall possibility.
I set my take profit above the EMA 100 level on the daily chart. The stop loss was set above the four-hour EMA 200 level in case it was broken and to avoid further losses.
Divergence on short-term time frames was not taken into account and in vain. You can see that shortly before the opening, a divergence began to form on the MACD, which eventually ended in growth.
The conclusion that I could draw is that a further fall is not excluded and I may return to selling EUR/JPY later. Also, I would note the importance of considering both long-term and short-term time frames, as this can help you make money and not lose.
