Let me be honest with yall π
The last 2 years Iβve blown multiple accounts. Not because of bad strategy I simply just felt like I was smarter than the market on days I had no business trading.
Days like that usually starts like this:
Charts are openβ¦. Iβm scanning
Thereβs no setup , no real bias , no clean structure but thereβs the urge to trade
I start convincing myself βmaybe this can workβ, βI might get lucky with thisβ
I start negotiating with my rules not because it looks like a good setup but sitting on my hands feels uncomfortable
When the trade goes against me I keep trying the same luck that didnβt work the first time and before I know it the account is gone.
The scary part is I actually know I shouldnβt be trading but I still do it anyway .
Now I realize my edge isnβt my strategy , my edge is knowing when not to trade.
The last 2 months Iβve barely taken any trades or blown any accounts and now Iβm learning to be comfortable with doing nothing
