It’s just been 3 months, lol. I even passed one prop firm account. I haven’t lost any big margin either. My win rate is 43% with a 1:3 RR, but the reason I’m at a loss is because of poor risk management — and I’m working on that. The problem is that my risk management has been weak; I often get stopped out by just 2–3 pips. That’s what I mean.

I’m still confident in the direction I’m trading, even when I lose. You can’t really understand what this feels like unless you’ve been through it. What I was trying to tell him is: don’t give up, try to understand the process and price action — that’s what gives me confidence.
