dang dude. sorry you deal with those thoughts and feelings! we need to work on that self worth! the reality is you are a hard working and loving dad who is breaking his balls to provide for his family. thats honourable and something to be proud of despite whether you feel you are hitting your goals or not. โฅ๏ธ
@CoDB69@TMadeAlex that is definitely true for some! for others, maybe dads with a family to feed and are already working excessive hours, itโs another story..
I did it!
this is my third payout and first one since taking a wobble last month and re-evaluating how i wanted to trade.
i feel more proud of this payout than both of my others-- even my first!
this one showed me that when you truly back and believe in yourself, you can make it happen.
ill post about my change in strategy at some point but its basically scalping off of key levels like pdh/pdl and pd value areas with a set bracket order.
for now ill just enjoy this moment and feel proud of what ive achieved.
God bless โฅ๏ธ
@TradeDadLog you can clearly trade, you often hit your targets and make good profit, itโs just that self control part thatโs hurting you! you can do it bro. iโm praying for you today ๐๐ป
@FuturesFarming@TakeProfitLLC i respect it bro. your stress tolerance must be really high to manage all these accounts and cycle through like you do. if you come out green at the end then thatโs all that matters right? people gonna have something to say whatever you do so just listen to your bank account ๐ค
its been a minute but finally got myself back in to a funded 25k at lucid this morning!
after flirting with edgeful and their api i found myself in a bit of an awkward space after losing my 3 fundeds
ive done some soul searching, made some changes and found a way of trading that feels like it suits me better
ill post about it at some point over the weekend and hope to begin posting about my trades again
i will enjoy this long weekend off the charts and look to continue momentum next week โ๏ธ
@_danieldag that a fair idea! ive literally only broken that rule twice this year, so its not a big issue really, but a manual block could defo stop it from ever happening
transparency: i blew this account today ๐
one trade rule i have is that i dont trade whilst im at work.. but today i broke it
i checked the charts and saw how i could of let my original trade play out and it was looking like it would win
felt a lil tilty and entered some shorts over sized trying to hit IB low and make 50% on the eval
result was i got toasted ๐
im feeling a bit impatient in eval jail at the minute! i may try and just get one passed before i start posting my trades with this strategy again, we will see.
-$191 today ๐ด
IB high formed first so targeting IB low
i tried to front run it way earlier than i usually did through back testing and paid the price!
my best trades through back testing came when entering at around the 7:20 candle off of the IB25/75
this is why forward testing is the ultimate litmus test
back testing has a purpose but its void of the emotions and stress of taking a trade in live conditions
on to tomorrow!
@dancooketrades@edgeful unofficially yeah! never bought a sub but followed for a long time and then added my own flavor to it. are you thinking about starting a community any time soon?
