Lot size is not a fixed answer for a currency pair. It depends on three things: how much money you are prepared to lose, where the stop goes, and what one tick is worth on the symbol your broker supplies. That is why an MT5 lot size calculator should start with the stop loss. A 0...
A candle chart tells you where price went. It does not tell you where the trading actually happened. Those are different questions, and the second one is often the more useful of the two. A volume profile answers the second question...
Almost every trading mistake traces back to one confusion: trading a range as if it were a trend, or a trend as if it were a range. Trend tools whipsaw in ranges. Range tools get run over in trends...
I published an expert advisor that lost almost its entire account. The record is still on my profile. This post is what I learned from it, written as five checks you can run on any EA before you trust it with money — including mine...
This is the third entry in a public incubation diary for a gold Expert Advisor I am building toward a release around December 2026 or January 2027. The rule I set for myself is that everything goes in the diary — the measurements that came out the way I expected, and the ones that did not...
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo looks intimidating because it draws five lines and a cloud all at once, but the name itself tells you the intent. It translates roughly as a chart that shows balance at a single glance...

On 26 August, two short trades developed on two different markets. The direction was the same. The way I read it was not. I read XAUUSD M5 with Scalping mode and GBPUSD M15 with Smart Trend mode. Both were bearish opportunities, but each mode organized the decision differently...

The Commodity Channel Index carries a misleading name. It was built for commodities decades ago, but it works on any market, and it is really just a momentum oscillator with one useful twist: it has no fixed ceiling or floor. RSI and Stochastic are boxed between 0 and 100...
In the last post I suggested checking your history for trades that died in the first seconds. This one is about the arithmetic behind them, and how to set a stop that survives contact with your broker. A stop distance has to clear three separate things. Most traders account for one...
