Well it worked today. I made a total of $1072 following the trend. I skipped over many other currency pairs because they didn't have this clear of a trend. That's better than I've done before.
I saw that it was clearly trending down consistently for 2 weeks based on a 90ema. (This was the only currency pair out of about 10 that I checked that I could say this about) I sold it, and placed SL and TP at points that I eyeballed that would make my prediction either true or false. I got busy with other things, fell asleep for a few hours, and by the time I remembered about it again, I had closed at the TP for $929. Then a few hours later, I scanned currency pairs (I currently only scan popular pairs because they have the least bid-ask spread). Once again, EUR/USD was the only one with a clear trend. I sold it. This time, I closed it manually at a profit of $143 because I didn't want to get too greedy for the day.
KISS, you can't, not with 100% accuracy so keep it simple, for me that's just become above 42ema is up and below is down, Accept nothing is perfect and move on!!
I had planned on adjusting my EMA after some testing. So you don't require that it's trending for a certain amount of time?
I use an Envelope 0.01% (2pts on NQ ) of market value so I have a no trend area for sideways, but no above I trade longs, below I trade short. It improves the odds, not perfect, striving for perfect will hold you back as nothing ever is perfect.
