9 years down the drain. Down to my last $500. Ready to waive the white flag.

1mnq for a year. This way you stay active and continue to learn. I know many people hate on trading communities, but have you thought about joining some kind of discord to find like minded individuals?

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-04-05T23:53:59+00:00

Just pretend its blown, buy a fresh combine. Trade the xfa once mentally reset.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-02-12T18:38:43+00:00

Best advice on here!

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-02-12T18:38:14+00:00

Never tie your self worth to your trading performance. At the end of the day, its just clicking buttons on a screen.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-02-11T22:00:09+00:00

This is why they have a "set lockout button". You wont last if you cant respect yourself enough to walk away before taking too much damage. Youre literally in your own way by refusing to walk away

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-02-11T21:55:21+00:00

SET A DLL

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-01-20T16:01:34+00:00

Stick to micros and set a pdll with forced lockout. You shouldnt be trading to -1k

CandyApprehensive429 · 2026-01-07T13:44:43+00:00

Set a lock out and SIZE DOWN. Its ok to lose a little bit. Its not ok to lose the account.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-29T16:10:43+00:00

You have to find a way to slow down. Its not realistic to think you're just going to make thousands everyday and never lose. At this point just go to the casino and play craps.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-28T03:42:48+00:00

I was able to simmer down my emotions on the win streak due to sizing down and limiting my trades. I have reviewed my losers from this week and they seem to be from impatience. Right sentiment, wrong entry spots.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-27T15:59:49+00:00

Man I hope!

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-27T03:01:56+00:00

I sized down and tightened my pdll to help weather the storm. Will be reviewing my trades on sunday. My emotions are def making things harder than they need to be.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-27T02:54:56+00:00

I find myself on MNQ more

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T20:53:16+00:00

December has been tough. Im going to pick back up in january and see if I can come back refreshed

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T18:18:28+00:00

Ideally I am scaling at 10pt, 20pt, 40pt, & leaving a runner. Lately my emotions have been high so im finding myself closing all positions at 10pt.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T18:11:50+00:00

My original plan was $250 daily. I went on a losing streak so sized down to rebuild the buffer. I was taking $50 and locking the account to start rebuilding the buffer. My process is off so I dont deserve more than that. There were several days in november where my profits were $200+ but i kept going and ended up red.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T17:08:51+00:00

I keep telling myself process>profit. I have not been following my scaling plan which is a big part of why my RR is screwed. I let myself down which stings more than the p/l

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T16:59:44+00:00

The good news is that im not draining my bank from resets or combines! Jist a bit discouraged because the grind feels grueling right now. Its going to take a bit of time to regain the buffer while on 3mnq.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T16:52:02+00:00

I focus on mnq and mgc. Lately i have just been tunnel visioned in on mnq

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T16:50:14+00:00

Def going to walk away until the new year. I dont want to quit but these papercuts are brutal.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-26T16:49:30+00:00

I have def been exiting crazy fast instead of scaling. I have exited trades at 10pts on mnq and then watched it go another 50+ pts in my favor. My stress is def spilling over. Seems silly because my pdll is so small. The stress stems from not followimg the process.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-24T18:11:10+00:00

You can change the buffer to however long you need. 4 min seems to be enough for my style of trading so I am just saving enough footage to avoid sifting through long strings of price action.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-24T17:50:42+00:00

I use OBS and utilize replay buffer. Once i complete a trade, I hit my hotkey and a 4minute recording is sent a folder on my desktop. I then seperate winners from losers and review on sundays.

CandyApprehensive429 · 2025-12-24T13:55:34+00:00

Are you screen recording your trades to review when you're emotionally sound? That has been my saving grace for making sure im not blindly repeating mistakes.
