EdgeFound

Helping discretionary traders improve through journaling. It's often too boring, long, and not worth the effort. EdgeFound changes that.

A day I chose not to trade used to be a hole in my journal.

Now it's one tick : Stood Aside, on purpose. It counts like a day I traded.

Reinforce taking the right decision, avoid the cheap dopamine rush from a bad win.

@ShePlaysMarkets early september on QQQ : "I could have stayed in this trade longer but thought I would take my profits and go to sleep"

here : "let the upside do its thing"

do you have clear rules for closing trades early or putting aggresive BE ?

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@TraderTeaH2T sep 25 on the ES long : "No victory lap until the position is closed"

today on GBPCAD : "The trade isn't finished"

looks like there's something interesting there

@Flavioezx @TradingLucid @tradingview same day, a few hours earlier : "One tick away from TP… ONE", then the SL. this one got TP by 1 tick

did you do research on the potential R you're leaving by targeting far, or having wide SL ?

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@SimJTrades the MNQ one last month, "Risk free in this trade now", hit target about an hour later

@ArkianIQ c'est justement ça qui m'a marqué : 7 payouts, et tu vas quand même revoir le mois trade par trade pour écrire « je trade trop »

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@enter_liquidity fair. most would blame the tick but you went straight to direction. i respect that man

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

Hand-closed trades always look better in the stats.
Mostly because you close by hand when it's already going your way.

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@tradermike1234 and you usually fire yourself on the same kind of day. once you see what those days cost on your own account, you stop

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@Ali_Khan_ICT most people only count the days they traded when they measure consistency. the days you sat out on purpose never show up anywhere though

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@lanto_trades checked where price went after each of my b/e exits once. the safe move (put it at be) had cost me 4.5R in reality

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@RevivalOne2 @champagneszn777 oct 1 the 5.7k after split, oct 2 the vest eval passed

@ordinaryguy_io sep 21 : three shorts in a day, in the post where you wrote "the macro is still very bullish".

Do you have a clear outline of when you're allowed to play against your macro bias ? This helped me a lot

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@pakant12 day 82 a winner ended red. day 83 one went past 1R and ended red too. the leak is here isn't it ?

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@tradermike1234 And you can only grade that if you judge the trade before you look at the P&L. Otherwise the lucky rule-breaking trades get journaled as good trades.

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@tradermike1234 One trade is random, 50 isn't... and at 15 a coin flip still looks like an edge. Most people judge the setup way before 50 unfortunately

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@MichaelPatak Makes sense to count them as a series tbh. You accept losing some, what matters is what the whole batch pays.

[EdgeFound @theedgefound]

@Topstep Stopping green is a decision like any trade. Almost nobody writes it down though
