Terrible week. Start up 1% on my accounts. Now down -7%
Disgusted with myself.
I had a system that works well.
Designed for me.
But I let a few mistakes affect me.
In particular shiny object syndrome.
I will likely get off X also, where posts their winners and never loses.
@t0mbfx@QtFunded They literally removed the payout button from dashboard.
Countdown to payout timer gone.
I've traded my account 6 months.
Passed
Denied cuz of a hidden risk rule.
Passed again
Funded.
2 days from payout-Op. paused
Waited 1 month
Traded for a month again
Ghosted by support
Terrible day for me
Valid Loss
Wicked out on a winner
Execution error on a winner
-3% instead of +1% .
These days suck in particular because it's harder to take comfort in the tested data.
Valid losses really don't stress me about.
Sucks when more variance is added.
Only once your belief systems are right, will trading feel easy.
THAT is the moment you can start win forever.
All your PsYcHoLoGy issues go away. They don't exist if your fundamental beliefs about the market are in line.
Mark Douglas had it right.
Just cuz you've made money doesn't mean you're profitable.
Just cuz you're profitable doesn't mean your consistently profitable.
Just cuz your consistently profitable doesn't mean you will continue to be consistently profitable.
There's levels to this game.
Please be critical in your thinking.
Trading is problem solving.
You can't solve problems with emotions blurring your vision.
Calm cool collected.
Find the problem . Find the solution . Repeat at least 100 times.
You will become profitable. I promise you.
Run your own race.
Everyone on Twitter only posts when they win.
But losing is a FEATURE of the business. Not a bug. (S/I Hormozi)
You must sit there unphased.
Yup. High RR is good and can work well on personal. Prop firm DD limits are more suited to lower DD.
Like he said,you need to give yourself enough time for the edge needs to play out. Or you must de risk alot.
If your win rate is below 45% stop aiming for 3R trades
I know the math looks good on paper
But prop firms have drawdown limits, not just profit targets
A 6-trade losing streak at 3R targeting will end your account before your edge plays out
Lower RR. Higher win rate. Survive longer
