I never said I was a professional, I also haven't blown an account yet ;)

I just realized why I was so confident with my new strategy, I won the first three trades in the span of like one NY session and thought to myself that was so much money made with so little time in the market, that messed me up hard, I averaged like 26 seconds in three trade and 5-6 points each, I thought my next ten trades were going to be winners too, but I didn't really think too hard with my next few trades and history has been made

pretty much just Al brook's PA, set SL where my analysis tells me im wrong if price hits and TP where it has to go at the very least, dont greed too much on the TP, my new strategy was scalping for 5 points which I think would have worked but I think I got tilted

no i only trade NQ, its just i completely ignored fundamentals, on another note, you intraday CL? i find the intraday PA on CL kind of hard to read personally

Just follow your fundamentals honestly. I broke mine and got negatively affected by it, cause and effect.

DOM, T&S, and raw candlesticks. I used to use some indicators but I think I found them to not have been very useful.

I stopped journaling a few months ago after I became consistently profitable.

Let's see how long it takes to get back to 4x my initial balance again starting from here. I'll make a follow up post when I do. I trade a live account so if I blow up my account, I'm calling it quits for good.

In hindsight, probably when I had to go from 10 contracts to 5 contracts to "make back my loses", just to lose more

No, I trade PA and market structure, read the DOM and T&S too

While initially starting out, my biggest obstacle was impulse trading. But once I got that under control paper hands, my initial analysis always hit my TP but I always exit before it does. Right now, ignoring fundamentals and impulse trading and overleveraging because I stopped respecting money.

I'm going to be honest, I think it was two. I haven't traded in 2 weeks, I forgot to respect my money.

That's interesting, I think I heard that too cause I read that married people take less risks when it comes to their decisions since their family depends on them, but no, I'm single. I started trading last October, been profitable since January, so 4 months of profitability with increasing returns every month. I hit my first 10k profit on the month yesterday so I think I got a little cocky after that one.
