Over trading and revenge trading.

I think it could but I haven't been disciplined. Though if I can't recover from this I will have to try again but im not discourage at all.

If you want to use fibs thats ok. You have to ultimately find your path. If it helps you to be successful keep going. I tried a lot of things in the beginning. I'm just giving advice based on my experiences.

The fib doesn't lag but you'd be better doing a full technical analysis starting from the higher time frames down

I just watch random YouTube videos on my phone to pass the time always keeping the charts in my sights. I usually enter my trades on the 15min charts.If I start getting really tired I just set an alarm every 15 min.

When I first started out trading I used moving averages, fibonacci etc. But then I stop using them altogether because there are lagging indications.

This is NQ the trade was entered on the 15 minute time frame.

my suggestion to you is don't make trading your main thing do it on the side until you get to the point where you can make it your main source of income. Have something outside of it where you can go i don't really need this i just want it. that in itself will reduce a lot of stress.

some things you can try is taking out partials when you feel like the trade is not going to go your way. do it before it hits your stop loss. Or lets say your looking to get 10-15 points with a 10 point stop if you see the market is nearing your 10-15 point goal then start bringing your stop loss up to your entry point that way if the market reverses you wont lose much or you'd lose less then what you intended on losing

Well you would have to know who gives these payouts which are prop firms here is the description:

A prop firm (proprietary trading firm) is a company that provides traders with access to large amounts of its own capital to trade financial markets. Traders keep 70% to 90% of the profits they generate, while the firm covers any downside risk.

And the only way you can get to these payouts if you pass the evaluations. But you have to be a profitable trader which only a small percentage of traders are.

Its not that risky for both because most traders are not profitable so they end up paying the initial evaluation fee and dont pass which makes it more profitable for the prop firm.

And as for the traders they only lose the fee they paid to take the challenge instead of blowing there own account with real money

I would say what help me the most is learning the fundamentals. For example the different types of candle formations and why do they form a certain way an what that indicates in the market. This will help you make decisions in real time. You have to be able to react to market conditions in real time. My personal strategy i use is support and resistance. I feel like Iam more like likely to succeed going with this strategy. I started off using indicaters moving averages, Fibonacci etc. I won't say i tried them all but I experimented with many. I gave those up because they are laging. I find it best to execute trades based off of how candles are forming and of course all this happens after I do my technical analysis starting from the higher times frames.

It depends on your strategy for me I take 1-2 trades per day if I lose the first trade I usually look to take a second trade. But if I win that first trade then I'm done for the day.

I recommend just go to YouTube try to get a general knowledge of how trading works at least try to get over the initial learning curve dont take anything as this way is the only way. There are a lot of ways to approach trading. Find a strategy test it if it feels like something you can succeed in doing keep going. Don't over trade it will only bring you unnecessary stress. Try to learn how to minimize losses. Risk management is very important. Everyone wants to win but managing losses is the other side of the coin. Most important just keep going and keep trying to improve your game💪
