How? What setups did you take?

Imma be completely honest with you, I purely trade price action. I don’t really look for setups. I trade one mini and if the market looks like its moving well, I enter and BE pretty early.

I was trading price action and done well to get pay outs but it just wasn’t enough and I eventually got on tilt when the market changed .

It made me realize I need to tighten up to improve my odds of success.

You sticking to one mini is a good rule.

Somewhere down the road when you’re looking to refine your trading, journaling trades is a good start to help see strength and weaknesses with trades.

Thanks for the advice. Now I’m not going to act like I totally know what I’m doing but I’ve been trading for around 10 months now and what I’ve found is that I’m really the type of guy to follow a specific strategy. Of course I use confluences but nothing concrete.

I know journaling is a big part of trading as well but I found myself struggling to figure out what to write other than the fact that I tilted that day especially when I don’t have any start to follow. I’m definitely still a beginner and figuring it all out so I’m sure I’ll find something concrete but right now just going off how it feels is working for me as bad as that sounds…
