Haven’t been to @panerabread in a while. Decided to go for lunch and I take one bite and the entire sandwich falls apart. Tuna everywhere. Now I remember why I don’t go here.
There was a time where I could not handle taking a loss. I’d have two weeks of green days and then blow the account out of nowhere.
I fixed this by not looking at my pl. ever.
in 2022 I broke my rules.
Tripled my size.
Took a stupid trade out of anger.
And it worked.
I made more money than ever before.
It felt incredible for about 12 hours.
Deep down, I knew the market had just given me a loaded gun.
The next day, I blew the account trying to feel that rush again.
That’s when it hit me.
The worst punishment in trading is getting rewarded for gambling.
Payout day. The tools on @Topstep tsx really make a difference. Took a payout on just one xfa. Gonna keep the buffer on the other ones and go for max payout next week.
When tape bombs hit the tape with so much volume, I anticipated heavy selling to continue. Just got my biggest PL for Oct on personal account. 500pt selloff on $NQ and 120pt selloff on $ES.. What a Friday.
Through back testing I learned that If my Strat works one day, there’s a high chance it will work the next day.
Once I reach a day it doesn’t hit, there’s a high chance it won’t hit the next day. Helps me manage risk. Starting off strong on the October XFA’s @Topstep
Today NQ made me its bitch and I started right out the gate on my face. It took the entire day of overtrading to get back to basically break even.
Day two of the xfa and I’m already being negligent. Hey at least I’m positive right
Going all in with @Topstep after leaving @apextraderfunding and their shady business practices. Re-upped my 150k combine and hit the 9k goal today. The great thing with topstep’s new dashboard is when you pass your combine you can activate your xfa THE SAME DAY.
