@Jaaurx This is reality. I ignored journaling for my first year and kept making the same mistakes. Started tracking everything and my win rate finally made sense.
@golfdadgamer@SkylitAI You are absolutely right just Trust good data. I stopped manual journals because I’d lie to myself.
SuperTrader pulls straight from MT5/TradingView. No editing, no bias. Just raw data, win rate, mistakes by setup.
@Bradgohtrades@SJosephBurns This should be pinned.
Hardest part is the journal more honestly piece. Writing I followed my plan feels good. Writing i moved my stop because I was scared is what actually helps.
Took me way too long to learn that difference.
@AU79executioner This part of the game is tough
The emotional work to pass a $10k is the same as trading a $10k personal account. But the reward is capped.
Not saying prop is bad. It helps a lot of traders get started. Just know what you’re signing up for before you go through the trauma.
@bigchartrades Congrats on the 5.71R week Char.
Waiting for NWOG all morning shows real discipline. And adjusting for that poor 30s iFVG by using M5 context instead of getting stopped out - that’s solid risk management.
@prrobbins 100% facts Peter. Leverage magnifies mistakes way faster than profits.
Blew 2 small accounts chasing speed early on. Now I cap risk at 1% per trade no matter what. Took 3 years to learn: leverage is a tool, not a shortcut.
@AthenTrades So true. Manual journaling kills consistency.
SuperTrader Journal dashboard solved it for me: auto-import trades, P&L heatmap, mistake tracker, win rate by setup, R-multiple stats, and AI trade summaries. All in one screen.
Starts at [₹999/mo ya $15/mo]. 7-day free trial
@Orev_a@SammyKing_0 Everyone wants new strategies.
No one wants to audit the old ones.
Your journal already knows which sessions and pairs work for you. Big B just told you to actually use it.
I track RR by pair every Sunday. It’s boring. It’s also why I’m green this year.
@andrew_nfx Win rate below 45%? 3R trades will kill your prop account.
Math works on paper. Drawdown limits don't care.
Six losses and you're out.
Take smaller R. Win more. Survive.
@tradewithola Everyone logs wins. Nobody logs the revenge trades. You can't fix what you don't measure.
I never kept an honest journal until it auto-synced. Changed everything.
@Mzibrahim00 I thought I was following my plan. SuperTrader showed my win rate drops to 19% after my second loss. That's not a plan. That's revenge trading with a different name.
@JoshuaTrades The market doesn't reward hope. It rewards discipline.
Losses don't hurt. Breaking rules hurts. Because one is random, the other is self inflicted.
If I follow the plan, I'm up for the day. Chart doesn't get a vote.
@Poboy__ need this money turns your stop loss into a suggestion. Turns one trade into five trades. Turns a bad day into a blown account.
Process means you can lose and still follow the rules. If you need the money, you can't afford to lose. So you break the rules.
@whathaveldone 100% drastically.
I used to hide my bad trades from myself. No journal, no evidence.
SuperTrader Journal app makes me face it. It tags every impulsive entry and shows my win rate after 2 losses is 18%. Can't hide from that number all week.
@1MINUTETIP I love my Journal . It is SuperTrader journal app auto synced my broker and showed me I lose money on Mondays. Every Monday. Didn't want to believe it. Checked. It was right.
The data was there. I just refused to look. Now I don't trade Mondays
@aggressivetrad I added this same 15-min routine 6 months ago. My win rate did not change. My loss rate dropped 40%.
The reason is simple Preparation kills impulse. When you know your levels and news times before Monday, you stop forcing trades in dead liquidity.
