This video is great. One thing worth mentioning is whether to buy a trade for more than $0.50 or $2.50. Most often the trade amount goes up by the time you receive a Maya trade notification and react. If that is the case, should we keep pursuing the trade daily till the price comes down to the entry level ($0.50 or $2.50). If yes, how many days should we keep pursuing after the trade alert is issued? I understand that it is based on several factors, but some guidance here can help the traders.

We recommend that you never chase a trade. Always try the trade at 2.50 (or .50) depending on the spread. If the trade doesn't fill, just let it go and wait for the next one. Remember, Maya's success comes from trade management, not trade entry. That means what you do after you open a trade is the most important thing.
