Trade 1: Partial scale out then stopped at BE
Trade 2: Full stop out
Trade 3: Recovered loss plus some
All caught on live!
I go live everyday and document the wins, losses and lessons.
Just a couple weeks ago I was a little discouraged cause I was almost $1k in drawdown. Today, I'm so proud that I've almost brought myself all the way back to my starting balance without over leveraging or over trading; using only 2 micros.

I know the path to becoming a successful and consistently profitable trader isn't linear,but it sucks to have a win,then give it back the next day.
One day I'll look back at all of this and be proud of how far I've come. I love this shit for real,so quitting is never an option.
So as a "Discipline Exercise" ( Not a punishment), I submitted myself to participating in Friday's trading only by marking up. 1) I could not enter on my paper account. 2) it wouldn't count towards my 100 Trades Challenge.
This was one of my most relaxed and precise trades yet.

Thursday I broke two of my rules while trading:
1) Price must reach a HTF FVG before entry
2) No matter what, DO NOT take more than 3 trades.
I took 4; 2 losses, 2 winners and the 3rd &4th trade were forced.
After 5 losses in a row this single trade brought my account back up to -$8 because of how I managed my risk. I'm still tweaking it but I'd say I'm getting there.
I'm so proud of myself!

I was ashamed I had a low win ratio at 10 trades into my 100 Trades Challenge. But then I sat back & assessed the facts. The facts are Iโm only down 0.17% on a 100k acct, showing my losses are controlled. 10 years ago I wouldโve blown my account; today Iโm fine-tuning my model.
