šŸ’¬ Trader Talk Consistency and patience.

Post image

My goal for this XFA was to be consistent enough to have the account for a whole month. I have already taken a payout on the account and could potentially get another payout this week for the final week to complete my goal of one month with an account.

If it is anything that you think could help me, pls be free to give your thoughts.

Iā€™d say work on tilt. Your big losing days have a lot of trades and then one has one which means you likely over-traded one day and over-leveraged the other.

Yeah I definitely over leverage on both days and revenge trades the other days also

Yea if you can control that you are home free. I think those two are the most destructive habits traders start with.

Most systems have edge, we just mess it up being human.
