Fridays are ‘preserve the week’ for me - reduced size and only A+ setups with hfm in the first two hours, otherwise I stand down. Too many times I’ve seen position-squaring flip a clean trend into a chop fest
-
I’ve settled on risking less than 1% per idea and only scale up after a statistically significant edge shows up in my journal; the smaller risk kept me in the game long enough to learn
-
In my own practice with HFM, I only moved to micro-lots after a few months of demo + webinar replays and a journal showing I could stick to my rules, not just hit random wins. That slow transition helped a lot with keeping fear and greed under control once real money was on the line

What do you think about foreign brokers offering large bonuses — opportunity or marketing trap?
-
Bonuses are marketing first; I treat them as ‘demo-plus’ unless profits (not the bonus) are clearly withdrawable and the volume thresholds are realistic. Given reports like getting ‘scam[med] for $8K,’ I’d only test with tiny funds after reading T&Cs line-by-line. Hfm bnous looks good thouugh

High leverage isn’t the problem; position sizing without a hard stop is. On small accounts I cap risk at 0.25–0.5% per trade and let leverage simply reduce margin usage—tiny lots, hard stops, no exceptions
-
I started with PAMM/copy at HFM as training wheels—it accelerates learning—but my consistency only came after I built my own position-sizing and stop rules. Whatever you choose, demand a verified, public Myfxbook with full history and no martingale tricks

Anybody can recommend a broker for News trading??

The job is to bound slippage raw ECN like from HFM + VPS near the matching engine, and stop-limit/IOC with a max-slippage cap. -

Sniper Auto Trader v29

What helped me was a pre-trade checklist + fixed % risk + daily loss cap; bonus accounts can tempt over-sizing, so rules matter even more
-
For the AddDataSeries/BarsPeriod error and missing buttons, matching NT 8.1.x, installing the SniperBars, and enabling Chart Trader (not collapsed) usually fixes it. If playback looks great but evals bleed, that screams overfit—cut entries, cap daily loss, and disable “reverse” after consecutive losers
-
Filtering noise is everything. From many traders’ journals, demo is great for mechanics, but a tiny live account trains emotions—use both deliberately. If price action is the focus, what single book/course would you commit to for 90 days without mixing sources?

Forex Trading in Indonesia – Experiences & Tips?
binaryowner replied to zennie90's topic in General Forex Discussions
I’m leaning majors (EURUSD, USDJPY) during Asia trading with HFM and switching to breakout plans into London; keeping risk less than 0.5R and testing withdrawals with small amounts first. For those using international brokers from Indo, do you convert to IDR on bank withdrawal or keep USD sub-accounts to avoid extra FX fees? -
I’ve seen 1:1000 work at HFM only when lot size is tiny and every trade has a hard stop - otherwise it just accelerates account death. Leverage isn’t the enemy; oversized positions and no exit plan are.

those bonus thresholds can be sneaky. I’m reading the terms first now; if profits are withdrawable but the bonus itself isn’t, I’ll treat it as demo-plus and not a reason to choose the broker
-
I’d pair a short reading list (risk/position sizing) with recorded webinars and journal one concrete takeaway per session - any playlist recommendations? It is mostly trading webinars and analysis from HFM in my current youtube watchlist

Forex Basics 4 Advanced&Beginner Traders

EMA helps, but context is king - higher-timeframe bias, liquidity windows, and risk per trade keep the EMA from becoming a chop machine. I log every EMA cross with volatility notes to see when it actually has edge trading with HFM
