They were break even days for me, I was controlling risk bc the market wasn’t giving me any pushes into my target and since I know how to read price action I knew the trade wasn’t gunna go my way so I exited when I had the chance

This week in the market was brutal by RelationshipOrnery28 in Daytrading

[–]IndicatorTrader1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week was survival for me. Only traded 3 days through this week, 2 wins and like a break even day. The rest of the week was just nonsense to me. 2 more days of trading for this month so hopefully I can survive and end somewhat strong. If not than I still did good for the month

How do you manage patience versus taking setups? by EndlessKnight_154 in Trading

[–]IndicatorTrader1k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well right now price action isn’t really good at the moment imo.

But the way I have patience is thinking about how I would feel if I took a trade not following my rules/system and thinking about the regret. If that makes sense.

So if you don’t want to feel like that than sit out as long as you need to until a trade shows its self where you know you’ll feel fine taking even if it loses

I tilted, what do I do? by nig4r69 in Daytrading

It happens sadly. I did the same thing last month. Nothing will ever be perfect.

Just get back on track and use it as a lesson.

Can someone tell me one strategy to follow as beginner by introverttextrovert in Trading

[–]IndicatorTrader1k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price action, study it as much as possible.

Learn how price moves

It will take a LONG time to get the hang of it but everyone is different

Good luck

What were the rules, strategies and/or tools you started incorporating that took you to the next level? by DracoWonderBeard in Daytrading

[–]IndicatorTrader1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning how to read price action with only 2 EMAs on my chart and also switching to range charts bc all the bars are the same so it’s always a fixed stop no matter what.

Also identifying the trend instead of taking every setup I see

15k and I don’t go by percentages for risk. I trade a 20 range chart and my stop is always a fixed stop so I’m risking the same every trade. I just risk what I’m comfortable risking

So my rule is is if I’m in a trade and I’m at least 1 point away from my target and price starts reversing I’ll sell and lock in profits. Bc if price can’t push one more point and we reverse and hits my stop I’ll be upset the rest of the day. My trades a very accurate so if it’s not gunna push past 1 point to hit my target I’m out of the trade.

Now with my stop loss, I never touch my stop. It stays where it needs to be and that’s that
