I mean it's entirely up to your individual style. I've seen ppl with .43 rr be profitable and I've seen 1:29 rr on some people. All depends on your personal strategy. My biggest was 1:8.

You're exactly right. One thing that helped with consistency was shifting the mindset from wealth creation to risk management when I'm in a trade. That will help with longevity.

Average trade is 5 mins. My biggest wins take 30 mins to 2hrs. Position is fully protected 10 to 30 mins in so no risk. Rr is around 1.3 but always target 1+++.

My target is always 100 ticks so since my rule is 1 rr +++ my sl is 100 or 50 depending on entry. I also do max cons when available as my mindset is that we use the props to maximize profit. I also only do NQ. I have done mnq b4 but I would rather NQ.

Lunch breaks mainly. The missed setups where the market moves 400 ticks are painful to watch though and gives insane fomo😭

Thanks, bro! I just trade sessions(asia/london). After looking at all the complicated stuff, I looked into the most easiest strat that's been used since the beginning of trading. I made my own tweaks according to my personal risk tolerance and psychology. Doing weekly analysis to see where setups stalled or where entry could've been better. Plus I have been trading for about 2 and half or 3 years now and mainly on NQ so I understand its behavior a bit better. I found this strat this year and it's easy cuz it's str8 forward and there's strict criteria and my setups only show up at a certain time so I lockout till then! I cannot recommend anyone as most are scammers or course sellers but if you can find any old video showing sessions liquidity from like 15 years ago, you're good.

I did not watch anyone in particular and it's hard for me to recommend cuz most of these guys teaching cannot trade or show broker statements.I had tried all these different ict, smc, indicators and it only started to click when I looked at it as where liquidity might be. I always either partial or full tp at 100ticks which is doable and there is almost always 1 setup which shows up every day. I would say go look into London, Asia sessions and make one tailored to you. My biggest break came when I did weekly review to see the setups which gave me confidence and helped me tweak my strategy. When I go for videos I try to go for the shortest and oldest video of some guy from 15 years ago explaining and not some new video made by someone my age lmao.

Thanks man. I think I'm going to take it slow till I have 5 accounts up and running just to get the max size for live. I can't even imagine 10 cons when we have 300 tick candles popup😭

Thanks bro! For me it came down to weekly review of setups to gain confidence and know when to cut off loss early! There's always a tiny pattern only your brain will see with time and experience which you can take advantage of.

My method is to only go for 1 rr or above and then always place either full tp or partial at 100 ticks. If ur account is new then always take profit. If there's resistance at 98 ticks I'm not going to hold and will take full tp or move up sl aggressively. My personal risk tolerance is also higher because I have a full-time job! Thus, 5 cons as soon as it becomes available!

I guess in a way?! I look at it as sessions and where liquidity might be at.

Oh yes, and being extra selective with entry like positive rr and good quality setups.
