to all the beginner $NQ traders who are
seeing lot of traders posting $100k days on X.
while you probably lost few hundred dollars today
or blew that eval.
Guys.
just keep this in mind that, You do not need to trade everyday and make $100k a day.
even the people who really made $100k today, They do not trade everyday.
Real traders do not get valid setups every single day.
If you're not gambling and actually trading according to a strategy - Then you'll only get valid setups few times a month.
and this is a trait in every winner who takes money out of Nasdaq on a consistent basis
is that they minimise their losses by NOT TRADING on the days when its hard.
all the times you lost, You could've avoided that by not trading on that day.
and all the times you won, You could've saved all that money if you didn't lose it afterwards.
Your job as a trader is not to predict market's direction everyday.
your job is to identify when the market is playing out according to your edge/strategy, when is it easier to trade and when everything aligns together for your WIN.
once you stop trading everyday
and start trading on the days when its too easy and when you're destined to win
everything will CHANGE.
few gets it.
2 trading ls back to back but the ls were as a result of 1
Revenge trading
And not being patient
If you dont find an A setup
Dont trade
Its fine if you take just 1 trade in 1 week
