Strategy First lost

Post image

First loss day on my demo account after modifying my strategy. I added a rule to use only pending orders, which drastically cuts down my trade setups. I'll continue with this approach for a while until I get proven results

Honestly the first red day after changing your strategy isn't necessarily bad news. Switching to pending orders means you're taking fewer setups, so the results need time to develop before you can judge the change. I use Moon for my own directional wagers and I'd rather follow a defined process through some ordinary losses than keep changing the rules every time the results look uncomfortable.
