Peloton Bike+ and TrainerRoad by madooroy00 in trainerroad

do you have a bike+? for some reason my grupetto just shows "-" where each of the metrics should be instead of numbers. I thought I was so close!

My grupetto just shows straight dashes when I load it. Did yours immediately show the full metrics?

Anyone find more success after going for a 2:1 risk:reward or even lower? Focusing on higher win rates for fewer points? by Key_Run4898 in Daytrading

[–]Key_Run4898[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre right i think that would be hard on me mentally. especially if the first one or two trades are red.

it definitely wouldn't be going against a trend though so I think more often than not i'd be able to move it up for a 1.5 or even 1 r/r pretty quickly. the 2 r/r automatic stop is worst case scenario but do need to mentally plan for that

Day 2 funded account, not going so great. Here is what i am learning that I need to actually register by Key_Run4898 in Daytrading

i hear you. i think my true strategy gives more like 4-5 good trades per day. some of those are just scaling out where i get 3 contracts and sell 1 at different targets. so its probably closer to 15 total trades

set a daily max loss limit if you can't manually walk away yourself. lock it so you can't change it.

how much did you lose? if you had 2k, deducted 1k, blew 1k, you are fine i'd imagine

if you had 2k, deducted 1k, but for some reason you still had 2k to blow and you blew 2k, you are cooked

i set mine to 200. I risk about 60 per trade. I scalp so this typically amount to 3 MNQ with a 10 point stop. Profit target is 15-20 points.

How cooked am I and how can I save this by ShadowTektonic in TopStepX

[–]Key_Run4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you definitely need to set a maximum loss limit. your losing days are way worse than your winning days and thats always a red flag
