Before you click buy, say this in your head:
"This trade can lose."
If that line makes your heart race, your size is too big.
Cut it until a loss feels boring.
Small size. Calm mind. Better trades.
1. Mark relevant swings on the Daily TF to establish daily bias
2. Use the 7H profile to validate daily profile
3. Pre-open: M15 entry using CISD
4. Post-open: M5 entry using CISD
5. Take profit at 2R
Profitability isn't that complicated.
Following the rules every time is.
Prop firms love traders who:
- Risk 3% to pass fast
- Revenge trade after a loss
- Trade every candle
- Move the stop "just once"
They hate traders who:
- Risk small
- Take 1 or 2 clean trades a day
- Close at 2R and log off
Be the trader they hate.
Simple funded account math:
$50k account. Risk 0.5% = $250
Win at 2R = +$500
Win 6, lose 4 in a month:
6 × $500 = +$3,000
4 × $250 = -$1,000
Net = +$2,000
No big lots. No hero trades. Just steady base hits.
Not a promise. Just how the math works.
Be honest.
What's really stopping you from getting funded right now?
1. Not enough patience
2. Breaking my own rules
3. Risking too much
4. Fear after a loss
5. Something else
Pick one number below. No judging here.
Most bad trades start with a feeling, not a chart.
Greed → take your 2R and close it
Fear → cut your size, not your plan
Anger → close the charts after a loss
Boredom → no setup, no trade
Know the feeling. Then you know the fix.
@TTrades_edu Maturity is realizing that TTrades is underrated for every beginner trader out there.. Learned a lot from his content during my early days of trading
Waiting feels like doing nothing.
It's not!!!
Waiting is saying no to bad trades.
Waiting is keeping your money safe.
Waiting is staying ready for the clean one.
FOMO (fear of missing out) hates waiting.
That's how you know it's working.
Learned this hard wayyy....
30 day Trading challenge
1. Trade only your A+ setup
2. Max 2 trades a day
3. Target 2R
4. Write every trade in a journal
On day 30, check your win rate.
Most traders are shocked how high it gets once the random trades are gone
Daily loss limit math:
Risk 0.5% per trade
Stop after 2 losses
Worst day = -1%
You need 10 bad days in a row to lose 10%. That almost never happens
No limit? One angry day can do the same damage
Set your stop for the day before the market opens
Bank Holiday Trading POV
If you win: "If you didn’t make money today, I don’t know what you were doing"
If you lose: "You should’ve just enjoyed your holiday instead of trading" 💀
Your journal remembers what your ego forgets.
Write down every trade. The why, the feeling, the result.
Read it every week. Spot the mistake. Fix it.
Trade. Journal. Improve. Repeat.
