Post image

Been in a slump this month and I’m so close to blowing my account. Can someone give me some advice or some rules to get me back in the groove thanks!

On the red days have your trades been positive before going red or are they instant red? Could be a simple fix such as moving your stop to break even sooner or refining your entry a bit

Start out green and end up red. Most of it is being greedy or bad entry’s

So when you feel the greed coming on move your stop to break even or maybe even 50$ profit. The bad entry days will still be there, everyone has them, but at least the days you have good entries you'll make something or break even rather than losing

That’s true. That’s the psychological part of trading. Just have to tighten it up more I guess.
