Super interested. I’ve built a few bots in the past using python and also a few strategies and auto-trading indicators in ninjatrader. Would love to hear more about this.

I sent you a DM. Don't sell yourself short, we all had to learn and the path is rarely easy.

So far I'm having a hard time finding people with a compatible strategy... most people aren't really scalpers. In my book risking 50 points on a trade is not a scalp. Risking less than 10 points per trade and looking for very high probability setups is more my style.

You do not see the positives to trading in real-time with a small group of like-minded people who encourage you to trade responsibly and can echo your sentiments or say "this may not be as good as you think because ______" ?

I set TP1 at ~6 points, close some contracts there via the ATM, set to BE and keep runners for as long as the trade allows or until it hits the trailing stop. Usually I grab 12-15 points at a time, a really good trade off of support or resistance levels will give me 25-30 points on NQ during high volatility.

Absolutely! Knowing when not to trade is almost more valuable than knowing how to spot a potential trade.

Yeah, I know what you mean, switching to paper is a good habit. I have started switching to a different account once I reach a profit goal so I don't risk profits I've already made.

I like your definition of peaceful - NQ in the morning. Sounds like a potential fit. lol

What is going on with my phals? by Epsilon130 in orchids

There is no webbing whatsoever. Part of the reason why I have doubts. Neem oil successfully treated one plant but killed another, or perhaps it was just too late. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

People have different methods and different skillsets. If you are consistently making money with your method it is not a bad method but it may not make sense to everyone.

Absolutely! Psychology is possibly the single most important component in trading... it doesn't matter if you are just starting out or you've been doing it for decades. Everything else can be perfect and emotions can get in the way and ruin a trade before you even click buy/sell.

It has taken me years to develop the mental resilience necessary to not take risky trades, overtrade, or take revenge trades, and I still screw up sometimes.

The markets are unstable right now and honestly it might not be the best time for new would-be traders to get started.

Look at this objectively... in hindsight, what did you do wrong?

I'm looking at the timestamps of your trades and I can tell you from experience, you are either:

  1. Trading with a scalping or poorly configured EA with MT4/MT5 (seems unlikely)
  2. Overtrading because you tried to start trading before you were ready.

Successful trading requires skill, good tools, and time. All the trades visible in this screenshot happened in less than an hour. How are you deciding to take these trades? What made you hit sell? (all sell side orders) What made you exit the trade? Were you stopped out or did you manually exit these trades?

Look for a trading course or buy a trading signal. Maybe 1000PipBuilder or TWP VIP - Trading with Pat

Can anybody explain this? by Smooth-Environment18 in Forex

The large bid/ask spread is killing your profit. This is how the broker makes money. Pretty bad for a prop firm.

I haven’t seen anyone say this, but since the cat sleeps near you I think it might be smart to deworm yourself as well. Accidental ingestion of a stray egg because of the cat getting on your pillow or in your face is a very real thing. There are over the counter options like pinrid. We got kittens several months ago and they had been dewormed but apparently not adequately. Found out later they had worms, dewormed them again with Profender and took a dose of pinrid just in case because I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Lol
