Default Back to maney management

Risk is 35 pips = 2% of capital
1st target is 1.4703 - 1.4565 = 138 pips or 8% gain
2nd target is 1.4786 - 1.4565 = 221 pips or 12.6% gain

Conclusion: the smaller the SL the greater gain margins we can expect .

Not sure I'm getting this. Are we looking for a retrace to fall below the white (30) ema to about the 61.8% fib line. Then check the distance from the white ema X to the fib line X? But what determines where on the ema to measure from?
Is it always 61.8% to enter, and then target 161.8%?

Not really, when you see the price moves away from ema 30 but supertrend is still above EMA then you must follow the price to about 40-50 pips away . You may start buying between 40 to 60. For instance you buy from 40 so your SL must be 40 ( 80-40), you buy from 50 (SL is 30) You buy from 60 your SL must be 20. Maximun X to X = 80 pips.

X to X means distance from white ema to the lowest red candle ( approx 40 to 60 pips). Maximum range is 80 pips. If price moves more than 80 pips, then the trend has changed.

Not always because it depends on the tf we use but for the target the answer is yes. 161.8% is the 1st target and 261.8 is the 2nd target.
