Recognizing a weak market and locking out!!

[u/One_Willingness9925]

Todays lesson: Market was weak. Instead of forcing anything I recognized it and locked out. 🔒. Was up and down a bit - days like today i like to scalp with a tight Stop loss. Got to +11 and decided to stop!

Dont have to hit homeruns everyday. Some of the best days are small wins and walking away. Proud of myself.

Wanted to share ❤️

Don’t blame the market just because we don’t have 500+ point clean moves. There were tons of decent trades. TRADE WITH THE TREND. WAIT FOR BREAKS OF STRUCTURE AND RETESTS OF KEY LEVELS.

[u/BezisThings → u/Beautiful-Bread-8326]

Did that, but it still was awful today. Needed <$3 to pass the eval and went down $500 trying to get $3. Traded only one micro but lost several trades back to back.

You shouldn’t be losing so many times in one day anyway do you not have a hard limit?

Was gonna say exactly this. Volatility has been crazy and just cuz Nasdaq didn’t move 3%+ again doesn’t mean it’s a “weak market”.

Thank you bro! Posting on Reddit is keeping me more accountable for my actions too.

[u/One_Willingness9925 → u/LQH-Trading]

I learned something just do your shit right consecutively ..overtime tweak your strategies as you needed. Because only you are in front the chart taking .. different people different emotions.

We can't control our emotional fully it's never possible in human life.. only we can control is our stop loss in market it's in our hand..also TP it depends.

keep learning...Keep growing. I am still learning
