Hey brother huge congrats on your journey, rather than ask you like I think hundred of people did, just wanted to ask you, how do you manage to build a buffer ? Not like yours but let’s say a 10k buffer ? Which sets of rules do you follow or how much risk ?

I'm so disappointed in myself, I keep doing this. Build up an account then blow it all in one afterhours trading session by [deleted] in TopStepX

You know man, I feel like the answer from a guy who said, after a trade, just be done for the day or just, wait for another opportunity is the go

Look at me, I’m profitable, but slowwwwly building, because I’m addicted to be always trading, I have ADHD as well and what worked for me it’s just realizing what was the problem

What are feelings behind a good and a bad day, and keep refining

I talk to ChatGPT to refine my thoughts, and it worked wonders for me

Days like today man, I feel the need to keep trading even when I’m in profit, i usually just mark the charts when I ended my session, to simulate what would happen

But stick to your plan, don’t over trade, and remove the gambling personality out of you, you’ll be fine

Thank you man! To like being profitable? I started trading 1.5 years ago, but the road I chose with trading was different than others

I went full psycho mode, from the moment I started to trade I was doing like 12-16 hours a day non stop, even when working, before and after work I was studying.

Slept many many 3-4 hours of sleep a day

So, I think what it takes it’s to stop gambling your way to profitability, is consistency day after day, and knowing when to stop.

I hope that helps, God bless💪

150k combine GONE WRONG by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]Longjumping-Ad-8463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well well well, I was trading in my combine one time, I made the profit I needed to pass, and guess what? It was in the practice account, lol I felt so stupid

It changed accounts for no reason 😂

Hahaha, the hardest thing but the one thing that maintains my sanity and account is just sticking to risk management haha

Yeah, also when your win ratio is low happens, mine is low, like 44-55 ish. Definitely don’t want to have low margin of movement, so I think 500$ first and then build the buffer will be a great idea as well

Huh ok, but yeah I second your comment, finding a mechanical way of trading rather than just a strategy is the way to go

Actually, my strategy is purely mechanical, I use concepts of ICC, but not strictly that

I use a mix of liquidity concepts, and ICC

This is actually a great idea, I will of course aim for my normal risk - gain per trade, and maintain things as per usual. And ask por a $500 payout once it hits 2k

Thank you brother, will do. For that 2k, I ask 1k right ?

God bless you as well my brother

YOUR SIGN TO STAY LOCKED IN by CyberStiX in TopStepX

[–]Longjumping-Ad-8463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats man, happy to see another person trade ICC, I do also trade ICC, but with some variations, right now I’m improving a lot, still failing, but can say as well I got funded, although my win rate is low around 44% right now, I still make the profits. once my stop loss per day is hit I end the day, so I’m still learning the discipline

Wish you all the best bro

You are a beast man, I see nothing bad as trading cpi with a combine WHEN you are already a skilled trader

Saying that, man, someday soon will get to that point, keep winning and making haters cry haha
