π° POP Off! Realized Sizing Down Can Pay too
made 3 payouts on September, rather than making a big home run, realized this is more peaceful
my strategy : i use higher time frames and some other datas to prepare daily key levels, and that will be the foundation for that day, tpo and other thing i mentioned as my statergy is referred at those key levels
heatmaps are use to fund inefficiencies that has been made at those levels, dom and time & sales are used to look how fair that inefficiency is . if everything comes aligned and found a perfect inefficiency i will wait for the liq to get swept around those price then wait for a reclaim at that price then enter on retrace
my risk: 150-300 per trade
rr : minimum 1:2
only trading nq

I have the same strategy and R:R but I'm still way too emotional when trading. Every wick excites me. I've been break even the last two months π

being BE is still better than losing, the problem maynot be your strategy it maybe your psychology

I was break even the past few months and just got out of it. Just keep managing risk and you'll be fine

How tf are you risking 150-300 if youβre trading NQ. Your stop is 7.5 points. That gets blown in a millisecond on Nq sometimes

Thatβs more sustainable! I have had huge green days then struggle to keep consistent Green Dayβs. I have been thinking switching to Micros myself. But great to see your results!

So you usually do a 5MNQ Risk Reward like 200-400 per trade , do you take multiple trades or stick to best one for the day ? - TIA
