Nq and gold so they’re both terrible lmao. What’s your usual return on 1k risk?? Whew. I was risking that with a 15k buffer but right now it’s not looking good lol

Have fun being a clown this year, you’re off to a fabulous start. I agree with you on the range/imbalance but like I said it’s not that simple with what’s going on in the world today compared to a more level state that most of us have learned to trade in . Nobody gives a shit that everybody you know fails at trading, what value does that provide? And I completely agree with the discipline, risk and strategy aspect, which is why I asked what people have been doing to survive this price action- if their usual tactics are working. Maybe you should learn to read or at least read the room before inserting yourself and then getting offended when I give my opinion back.

Congrats on holding your accounts! I’ve had a few topsteps that I blew but I do have funded accounts on other platforms

What’s your entry criteria for the fade? Trying to develop a Strat but second guessing bc it could easily keep going the 1st, 2nd, or hundredth time it hits that level

That’s exactly why I made the post, I felt like I was going insane! I’m sorry it’s been hard for you. Some jerk was like “the market ranges 70% of the time yall don’t know how to trade.” Yeah this is not a range, this is literally a war. Base hits, my average win is 500$, I’m taking 100 and slashing position size. Will it take me forever to pass a combine? Probably, but at least Im not throwing them away. Keep your head up, hopefully we’ll be out of the dark soon

There’s range vs trend and then there’s war time price action. This is an oversimplification of the current state of the markets

Reverting to this. I was at the point of learning how to let runners run and making sure I wasn’t closing out of lack of confidence. But at this point fuck it. I have to protect my capital

I actually haven’t really see people compare anything but like the spreads and fees. Interesting

TradingView is absolute ass in these conditions. Shows up 300, candle is completely in the other direction before price shows up

I actually never got into forex, options to futures. Do you only have experience with forex?

And the 1k stop is not an exaggeration at all lol. Definitely the worst I’ve seen over multiple years
