DislikedThe trades I took were definitely profitable. As mentioned, and as is always the case, exits will be important. I'm wondering about perhaps keeping the atr s/l fixed (non-trailing) and then maybe using the D1 indicators and exit when they change against the trade. Might give up too much before closing but would keep you in on some of the longer trends. I'm big on stacking positions, and that would also allow you to add orders when the H4 pulls back then gives another trade signal in the right direction.
Just some ideas. I'm going to backtest...Ignored
The next thing I would do is to let the trade to run itself. If I see one of the HA on the D1 chart has changed its color after closing then I would close the trade myself if SL is not triggered.
My logic is simple: If the trend is well established the price should always move in my favor, even though if I am down at the first place due to retracement or deep correction. As long as my SL is not hit, price will once again move back in the direction of trend. This way I would have plenty of chances to add new positions and stay in the trend longer.
I am glad that you are using this method too. In the long run, our winners will always be more than our losers.
