@t0mbfx I was very comfortable with the thoughts that I would eventually need 3 years or more to become profitable. I mainly started this to get a better person and build discipline and responsibility for my actions and obviously for money but thatโs something I donโt try to chase.
@DodgysDD I totally understand the thoughts behind that but what is about the trendline above? Why you have conviction for price to target the bottom trendline first before the upper one? In a case like this I normally donโt touch anything until one side is swept
The hardest part of trading for me was accepting a red day.
Every red day turned into a blow-up day.
Green days? Easy to walk away.
Red days? Iโd spiral.
Then it hit me.
I came in every morning expecting to make X dollars.
Expecting a payout by X date.
So the moment a trade went red, it felt like my future was being taken from me.
That pain = tilt.
Tilt = bad decisions.
Bad decisions = blown accounts.
Everything changed when I stopped trading for $$
and started trading to execute well.
My job isnโt to make money today.
My job is to follow my rules.
Money is a byproduct.
Discipline is the edge.
