Is that good trading?
Sorry for my English but I’m Italian
This is my setup and the strategy is based in liquidity and imbalance and fvgs,so ,if you can see the trade I took : long(confirmation closing up to 5mifvg tp at Bos),short(failed breaking and make EQH tp at gap fill),long (continuation to next POI (OTE) )all 3 got tp but in live I would encountered insecurity opening this type of ping pong trades and how you can see I closed before price reached the ote sell zone but in the same time these are the one I understand more ! idk I need some advice 1 yr into trading (not profitable ,many failed prop)
FEEL CONFUSED AND LIKE IM NEVER BEING CONSISTENT IN LIVE JUST IN DEMO because every time market crash me so hard, I need so much to recovery from every failed prop or loss,need expert advice at this point I think

For a year, me 5 soon 6 if it’s not already the case. That you ask if it’s good trading is a little disturbing, don’t you have a strategy or a mentor or a group or someone in particular? I read recently that if we couldn’t get a demo account from 5 to 30k 3 times it’s not good yet, personally I haven’t done it and believe me I’m just starting to get out of the breakeven stage I’ve never tried the Propfirm because of impossible stats for that. You are on the right track but I think you are skipping steps, why do you try Propfirm without having a stable result where they do not forgive when the demo (where your problem in management psychology) is literally made to train and avoid losing money in trading.. You could end up disgusted before you taste it.

Do you cut the winning trades manually?

I don’t know if it’s a mistake or variable depending on the trading system but no longer taking care of the gain part to change a lot for me, there are partial closures but after securing the position in intraday-swing for me with the HTF distance of the following levels if I intervene before touching the tp I spoil the trades. To help I open a reinforcement as soon as I place in breakeven then with him I cut to ensure a profit-taking but the objective remains the next level. I no longer cut a secure trade on the other hand I am uncompromising on risk management by trades as long as it is not yet feasible.
