Still learning and it seems FAPTurbo doesnt trade on sundays... so I had time and decided to implement some of the insights I've been learning on Fibonacci retracements and extensions on a new demo account.
First couple trades, I screwed and sat there and watched and pined on my picks
Then I learned to control my emotions and let my trading plan handle the rest
Basically I drew the fibonacci retracements on my charts in mt4, then traded on the trend
t/p was ~20 and s/l was 500
Did quite well... have a couple of floating orders at the moment but we'll see, this is good practice
I dont know if I'm comfortable yet trading manually on a live yet tho
Here's the tally on my demo account:
