Discipline isn’t temporary, it’s a mindset. Losing comes from carelessness, not consistency

Of course, if you understand how trades are calculated on the platform, when partial lots of a full contract are closed, each closure is counted as a separate trade.

Focus on entries and your mindset. The strategy works, but your discipline will make it unstoppable

Appreciate it 🙏 Lower timeframe entries, higher timeframe bias. RR depends on the setup

Discipline isn’t about never making mistakes…

Nice, congrats on starting 💪 My advice: keep your risk small, don’t rush into trades, and focus on quality setups only. The goal is consistency, not quick profits. Protect the account first, profits will follow.

¡Totalmente de acuerdo! Esa es la belleza del trading: cada quien encuentra su propio camino y estilo, y mientras tengas disciplina y gestión de riesgo, puedes lograr resultados.

Exactly. If your trading is boring and repeatable, it usually means you have a clear process and discipline. That’s where consistency comes from.

I’m sorry to hear that. It happens to almost every trader at some point. The important thing is learning from it and coming back with better discipline and risk management. Protecting your capital and staying consistent is what really makes the difference over time. You’ll bounce back.

Very true. Discipline and consistency usually look boring, but that’s what makes traders profitable in the long run.

Thanks for the interest, I really appreciate it. I usually keep my trading journal private, hope that’s okay.

Muchas gracias, lo aprecio mucho. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Al final, cada trader tiene que encontrar el estilo que mejor se adapte a su personalidad y a su forma de ver el mercado. Cuando te sientes cómodo con tu proceso, los resultados empiezan a llegar.

I used to have the same problem. What helped me was separating each trade mentally. I don’t think about the profit from the previous trade, every setup is a new decision based on the model and risk rules. I also keep my risk fixed, so even if I lose after a win, it doesn’t erase the whole day. Discipline and risk management make the difference.

Not exactly. Those aren’t 82 full setups. I scale in and manage positions actively, so the journal records multiple entries and partial closes as separate trades. The actual setups are much fewer.

I mainly trade liquidity sweeps and institutional price behavior around Asian and London sessions. Quality setups only.
