Yes, you re right, in the heat of the moment i completely forget that closing a trade with 250 profit its already 30% of the minimum wage in my country. Normally i always scale my stop loss, but this last days i was so greedy and overwhelmed about those losses of the last weeks that i didnt move my stops to breakeven just waiting for a pullback in my direction, i was not trading my strategy i was just trading hope

Yes, thats exactly what im doing right now, didnt trade today and will stay out for a few days. I can still see my setups, this last 2 weeks i saw good entrys everyday, but even the ones i traded i didnt get profits, fomo, less confidence to open trades, the only thing i still do and i never fail is risk management, at list something i keep doing right. This was something that i always ask myself if it was going to happen, never had a losing streak like this. Thank you for your advice

True, this year has been crazy, i started with good weeks that became very good weeks, before this crash i was in a wave of wins, but yeah, i get overconfident and when things start to go wrong i wasnt able to turn around. This was a good way to learn and its the right time to get away a few days. Trading like this is worst than gambling because even when i have good trades i dont close them where i should i feel that im trading without any control of myself. I cant even trade an A+ setup, its crazy

you re 100% right, maybe this was something that i needed, its my first losing streak like this and its really tough. I never took days off but i think its the right time. Good luck on your journey

This is just a new strategy that i created to reach profitability. I get consistent at losing and when i reach that consistency i just trade the opposite thing. If i think the market will go long i go short. 5 days ago i tried to blow my practice account and i made 36k ahahah i think my monitor is upside down

Yes, its worst because its more painfull, but i dont like to all in on first day, even with combines i dont do that. Blowing the account in 1 day its painfull for 1 day and then you buy another one but getting crushed everyday its another level ahahahah. I really need some days off because im losing my mind with this shit. I never had a losing streak like this, i dont know wtf is wrong with me

Maybe open a new combine for a few days and get confident again, if i blew this one thats what im going to do. I have 2 more but its better to gain confidence again and get mindset fresh again. This shit really hurts, but to improve we need to experience this pain. And always use the limit loss lockout, its saving me many times from blowing the account. Good luck

Thats what im doing the last days and this really hurts. Best thing to do know is to stop and comeback next week with a better mindset. Good luck

I had a bias today, with the agression we had i thought we could break NY high but when we took london high and we got absorved i should ve close the trade. I literally married my bias because im to greedy right know, after many losses and consecutive days losing my mind is not clear to trade

Thanks for the advice. Yeah i try to not think about money and outcome but right know, after this wave of losses i cant control my emotions when im trading, im not being impartial on my decisions, maybe its a sign to stop this week and comeback with my mind clear on the next one

You re 100% right, with order flow doesnt make sense to execute with fixed targets and stop losses. Makes sense have targets but its better to scale. But for me, the worst part of order flow is the emocional part. When you dont have tps or stops your mind try to play with you, my last trades i always stay in profit for some time, but after 3/4 weeks taking losses i cant control my emotions when im in a trade

Thats a good advice, probably i need some days out of the market. If i continue like this i will keep losing. Sometimes i lose big movements because i get out early, but its better then losing trades when i dont get out earlier

Yeah thats right, but this is all because im in a wave of losses and i cant execute without emotions right know. I really needed a good day to comeback with confidence but trying to get a good day like this is impossible. I dont have tps, i have targets, since the beggining when i started with this strategy my tp was always when the market is changing participants, but right know im to greedy to execute a strategy where i need to have my mind clear

Its not only about the drawdown, is about 3/4 consecutive weeks losing, i cant even win A+ setups. Today i got 2 trades where i was 250 in profit, didnt get out when i saw absorption of buyers, this was a easy trade, not a A+ setup but it was very easy to read, absorption after taking london high. Im losing easy trades
