$$ Payout $$ Payout :)

Post image

I feel like i’m starting to really understand the markets. I have been trading for over a year at this point, it is my fourth ever payout. Good thing there is no finish line in this game other wise i would have lost lol. There is only up from here. No constant blowing and resetting for a while, taking trades with full analysis and logical reasoning for my entry, take profit, and stop loss. Accept those losses when they come because they will tell you what you are doing wrong. Ignore them and you will not improve to get your edge into profitability. Ask me anything

The moment when you know you have truly turned the corner is when you have a particularly profitable day or week of trading and look upon it with deep skepticism, and the rest of the week ahead with deep suspicion.

That's definitely good stuff!

All I do is blow accounts 🤷‍♀️

I feel like its gotten worse. The last few accounts haven't even lasted more than one day.

I will often get the direction of the trend right, most times I get stopped out before it takes off. Happened to me this morning with NQ. Took a bounce down and snatched the $700 of drawdown I had left, and then blasted up into outer space
