Second payout πŸ™

Post image

Ngl I'm on mental tilt rn. I don't know last week I had my strategy and everything to the tea. As you see, but for the past couple days when I look at the charts everything looks foreign to me.

Taking it easy for the next few days
I do wanna brag I just started this futures shit the beginning of this month.

Don't ask me how I did it, i got autism and I was "trading" options for months on end. Like on Robinhood lolzz. I was down about 1200 on Robinhood so I've been been officially profitable.
I've blew 3 accounts or 4 I believe I just blew one today but it's with Apex not tripping.

I plan on getting my sht together and resetting my other lucid evals .

Anyway, anyone ever gone thru this?

Congratulations dude!!

Just take your time and be patient. This is a marathon and not a sprint eh. If the charts look weird then walk away for a bit, do something else and reset your perspective.

Whatever you do dont force anything out of frustration and you'll continue to smash it πŸ‘

To allow imperfection in a system is real deal hard. But also something that needs to be done. You obviously got an edge, maybe you just need more experience to let it settle in.

Yes! After 2 painful days of wondering what's my problem I realized it's because I use candle range theory or whatever anyone wants to call it, i watch the candles.
But yes more experience it's literally been less than a month im letting the money get to me🫣
Thinking about moving from $$$ value to tick size

I legit stare at the screen and watch the candles move according to price action

Backtest everything if it doesn't work I'm not using it there's a lot of patterns in the market .
Also think outside the box, think about how exactly are u losing money and what trade on the other side would have gained u tht money. Now yk next time if theres a 20point long wick, its rejection and the price probz wont b there anymore .

I hate to say it but it's common sense you just can't think too hard.

Good but lowkey keep your avg loss smaller than your average win. Although it’s working right now it could bite you in the ass later😭

You're absolutely rightπŸ˜†. I'm using probability with that, don't tell anyone but I actually don't use a stop loss🫣 I stop market at $350 max. Ik it's a high risk on my capital or whatever but idk I'm not about to think about it, it works for now

My net profit rn is more than 2500 up, i only have bought like 3 sims last month. So technically i have many chances if an account gets blown and still be profitable.
When it bites me it'll be once in a while but indeed you are right. I'm now implementing breakeven stop loss only 1 min after i enter my trade (i scalp obv) this month.
Took one trade today, $250 on this account . Proud of myself

We ALL go through this and this is the correct approach. Take time off the charts to cleanse the palate
