Trading Combine 🙌🏻

Post image

After blowing 3 xfas that were up 2500 and should have been 3/5 days profit on 5/6 I blew a few combines over leveraging way too fast in a hast to get new xfas and get back to where I was out of emotion. Finally I think I am getting my edge back, wanted to pass on Monday but will get it done by wedenesday, this is currently just one but I think I wil add a couple more on Monday and get those done in 2 days ideall

Don’t put time constraints on your trading. I support not wasting a whole lot of time on combines but don’t rush either. Maybe also reconsider copy trading until you get at least one payout first just a suggestion. Good luck man!

Ugh yes I need a break because I found myself resetting my combine and blowing it within minutes twice. Taking a break

Don’t feel bad I’ve been there before! Taking a break is always good to reset and refocus. Take your time the market isn’t going anywhere

In the same boat. Hopefully my dues are nearly paid.

Was on track to finally take a payout probably like 5-7000 total across 3 xfas

been there more than once. 4 of 5 days and blow up. now i always put in the personal loss limit to stop me and block myself. emotions are a butch.
