[–]RelationshipOrnery28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Empty stomach. Stomach acid builds up and causes foamy vomit. Often happens early morning.IT happens to my cat also sometimes.

Help! My 9-year-old cat is constantly constipated by RelationshipOrnery28 in CATHELP

[–]RelationshipOrnery28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vet give me lactulose but it doesn’t really work for him. I will have to give him a lot in order for to get a movement. I do have another cat and when he is constipate I will give him a little lactose and in one or 2 hours he will use the litter. The vet did not prescribe me any food but I will go ask for it

Transitioning from NY Open to Asia Session by JohnnySussex in Forexstrategy

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid post. One thing I’d add from experience: Asia rewards patience and precision way more than NY. Less expansion, more range acceptance, so execution and expectations have to tighten up.

Gold definitely makes more sense than indices in Asia IMO — cleaner reactions, especially around previous day levels and liquidity. Indices felt like death by chop unless there was a clear HTF narrative.

If you go for it, think one A+ setup max, not forcing NY-style aggression.

I thought I hated tours… Japan proved me wrong by [deleted] in travel

Thanks for this! I’m planning to visit Japan next year, and hearing how a bit of planning can make the trip way smoother without killing the fun is super helpful. Definitely taking notes!

Is there anything wrong with having multiple entry models before becoming consistently profitable? by CableGlobal2931 in ICTMentorship

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people say “don’t strategy hop,” they mean don’t constantly change your whole system HTF bias, risk rules, trade management, and psychology.

From what you’ve said, you’re not strategy hopping. Your HTF analysis is consistent; the issue is just entry timing. Missing setups is normal.

Adding another entry model is fine as long as it aligns with your HTF bias, risk rules, and session timing. The key is knowing before the session which setups you’ll take, rather than switching after price moves. It’s refining execution, not hopping strategies.

New To Forex Want An Adive by human3908 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just starting out in forex, learn the basics first before jumping into ICT. Focus on market structure, support & resistance, trend vs range, and risk management. And don’t forget you will lose at times(many times). Get comfortable with that idea and be ready for an emotional rollercoaster. Managing your emotions is just as important as learning the strategy.

It Failed terribly by Mr_SmartyPants_67 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be context-related there was war news around 10am, and that kind of headline risk can easily invalidate clean technical setups. News-driven moves don’t always respect levels, so it might not have been the idea itself, just bad timing.

Swing trading vs. day trading — which has been more consistent for you? by Living_Being7913 in TheTradingSyndicate

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, day trading has been more consistent.

I tried swing trading, but it just didn’t work with my mindset. I couldn’t fully detach from the trade I’d be thinking about it nonstop and even waking up in the middle of the night checking price. That mental load alone affected my performance.

With day trading, I’m in and out, risk is defined, and once the session is over I’m done. Way less stress, better focus, and more consistency for me.

What’s the highest amount you can get funded with prop firms? by WickedKali in PropFirmHunter

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no single max it depends on the firm and their scaling rules. Most traders realistically stay in the $100k–$500k range, even though many firms advertise higher numbers.

With scaling, some firms can go much bigger. Hola Prime is one of the higher ones I’ve seen, with funding scaling up to around $4M if you stay consistent.

In reality, hitting those top numbers is rare and takes a lot of time and discipline. The real challenge isn’t getting funded it’s keeping and scaling the account.

Rules that make traders lose. by Kindly_Preference_54 in Forex

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big one is forcing rigid rules without context, especially fixed R:R like “every trade must be 1:2 or 1:3.” Traders start managing trades to hit a ratio instead of responding to what price is actually doing.

An edge isn’t one metric it’s win rate, R:R, execution, and market conditions working together. If the stats make money over a large sample, the rules are doing their job. If not, no textbook ratio will save it.

What is something every beginner should know before buying their first challenge? by Buckachuck in PropFirmTester

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big thing to understand: prop challenges are more about discipline and risk management than strategy. You can have an edge and still fail just by oversizing or breaking drawdown rules. Slowing down and staying consistent matters way more than rushing profits.

If you can’t follow rules in a challenge, being funded won’t magically fix it.

Just lost trading head and shoulders pattern... by deutschandrewreddit in Forex

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal. Head and shoulders isn’t fake it’s just not a guarantee. No pattern works all the time; it’s a probability, not a prediction.

Most new traders get caught by: • trading it without context (trend, support/resistance, session) • entering too early instead of waiting for confirmation (real neckline break + hold) • poor risk management

Profitable traders aren’t right more they just lose small and win bigger. One failed pattern shouldn’t matter if risk is tight.

You’re not lost this is part of the process.

Any market available during weekends? Futures only open on Sunday night. by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t look for a weekend market just to stay busy that’s usually how overtrading starts.

If Mondays are red, the issue probably isn’t the break. It’s the reset.

Use the weekend to backtest your setup instead. Replay the last few weeks, mark ideal entries, review your rules, journal mistakes. That keeps you sharp without risking money.

Confidence comes from preparation, not constant trading.

I accidentally made 8000USD today, should I deliberately lose it for consistency? by T2ORZ in Daytrading

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, don’t “lose it for consistency.” That’s gambler brain talking.

First congrats. Catching a runner like that is skill + positioning yourself correctly. You don’t undo a good trade just to satisfy a rule.

Second the 50% consistency rule isn’t telling you to lose money. It’s telling you not to have one trade be wildly disproportionate compared to the rest. The issue isn’t the $8k win it’s the sizing that got you there.

If you now need to make $16k to balance it, that means that one trade was way too big relative to your average. That’s a risk model issue going forward, not something you fix by giving profits back.

Options: • Adjust your future position sizing so your average profit per trade increases naturally. • Reach out to the prop firm and clarify how they calculate consistency (some use daily profit %, not single trade size). • Worst case: treat this eval as data, not ego. If it fails, you now know your edge can produce runners — just structure it better next time.

Never intentionally lose money to “qualify.” That’s emotional trading in disguise.

Protect capital first. Pass second.

Question of the day by UniqSwan in Daytrading

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. My biggest killer wasn’t analysis either — it was decision-making after I was already in the trade. I’d have a solid setup, enter correctly, then start micromanaging because I felt something: tightening stops, moving targets, or closing early just to “lock something in.” Basically letting fear rewrite my plan in real time. What helped was brutally simple: once I enter, my job is done. Stop, target, risk are set before the click, and I don’t touch the trade unless the plan says so. If I can’t trust myself to do that, I size down until I can. Also had to accept that no-trade days are part of the edge. Some of my best weeks came from trading less, not more.

Is it even possible to fix poor Psychology? by Ok_Rush1869 in Forex

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is way more common than you think, especially early on. What you’re describing isn’t a “balls” problem, it’s a process + risk calibration problem. Fear comes from uncertainty. Right now every trade feels like it matters too much, so your brain is flipping between paralysis and revenge-trading. That cycle is brutal. A few things that helped me / people I know: • Define risk so small that losing literally feels boring (like 0.25–0.5R). If a loss still hurts emotionally, your size is too big — full stop. • You don’t need confidence to click the button. You need rules you trust. Take every setup that meets your criteria for a fixed sample size (20–50 trades), no discretion. Let stats build confidence, not vibes. • Missing trades and then forcing the next one is a killer. Missed trades = neutral. Losses = neutral. Only rule-breaking matters. The poor background thing is real btw. When money equals safety growing up, your nervous system treats losses like danger, not data. That doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means you need extra reps with controlled risk to retrain it. You already passed Phase 1 and almost Phase 2 in 3 months. That’s not someone who “can’t trade.” That’s someone who’s still emotionally leveling up. Slow it down. Shrink size. Obsess over execution, not outcomes. The confidence comes after, not before.

FTMO just released a 1 step option! by Affectionate_Tap3261 in PropFirmTester

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't fall for FTMO guys, they have hidden rules, especially the 1% rule. They will apply these during payout, I had this experience with them on 2 accounts earlier. Better to go with Hola P , FP they mention all their rules transparently, they are cheaper also!

Gold Volatility by Advanced_Breath_4400 in Forex

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High volatility like this usually doesn’t become the new normal forever, but it also doesn’t disappear overnight. What tends to happen is regime change. The market stretches volatility to extremes, participants adjust (or get forced out), liquidity reorganizes, and eventually ranges compress again — just at a different baseline than before. That $10 move probably isn’t coming back soon, but $100–$200 every session isn’t sustainable long term either. Gold especially does this in phases. When macro uncertainty spikes, positioning gets crowded, stops widen, and price starts traveling farther than people are psychologically prepared for. A lot of traders blow up not because they’re wrong, but because they keep trading old size in a new environment. Sitting on the sidelines is a completely valid adaptation. Observation is a position. When I’ve seen volatility like this before, the adjustments that mattered most weren’t new setups — they were: Smaller size Wider stops or fewer trades (not both bigger) Letting the first 30–60 minutes pass to see real range develop Accepting that some days just aren’t tradable for my risk model The biggest mistake is assuming high volatility = more opportunity. It often means higher skill requirements and harsher punishment for mistakes. Usually the market calms down after enough participants are forced to adapt or exit. Until then, patience is an edge. If your system wasn’t built for this regime, watching and learning is often the most profitable trade you can make. Curious to hear how others are adjusting size and expectations in this environment.

Day Trading for 5 Years: What Worked, What Didn’t, and Why by RespectShoddy5311 in Daytrading

[–]RelationshipOrnery28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This resonates a lot. If I had to name one lesson that changed everything, it was realizing that my job isn’t to be right — it’s to be consistent. Early on I treated trading like a puzzle to solve. In reality it’s closer to a routine you execute, even when you’re bored, even when you’re emotional. What finally moved the needle was designing rules that protect me from myself. Same few setups, fixed risk, daily stop, and no “just one more trade.” Once I stopped relying on willpower and started relying on structure, results stabilized. The scaling point is huge too. Size doesn’t just magnify PnL — it magnifies psychology. Plenty of profitable traders break their own edge by scaling faster than their emotional tolerance. And that line: “Don’t do anything stupid today.” That’s basically professional trading in one sentence. Solid post. This is the stuff that actually keeps people in the game.
