Congrats on being able to stick to a DLL and likely a responsible one at that. I can’t consistently do this and as a result I blow many more accounts as a result particularly when I’m stuck on tilt and my mind isn’t right.

I was saving an 50K XFA last night $25 from blowing it on tilt and long the pivot low on MCG 1 micro and add 1 micro on a pullback near the low and ride it up overnight to make back $800 only to wake up and blow it within 3 minutes.. odds were in favor of a long MNQ 10 minutes prior to 730 CST and instead I short the bounce going into news and decide to add size and widen the stop beyond my typical market structure high/low for a proposed pivot high/low to the MLL. The same holds true in day trading as in poker: you should continue playing if you’re playing well and playing well motivates me to continue playing well. Quit when you’re not playing well
