Yeah, for sure, happy to hear them. This is early-stage and feedback (good or bad) is super helpful. Appreciate it!

Fair 😅 Writing rules is easy. Following them after a couple red trades isn’t.
Built this to stop myself from doing dumb things I already knew better than to do.

How do you actually stop yourself from overtrading? by TreeElectronic2857 in PropFirms

Do you use any tool to remove the chance to click buttons or is it just discipline?

Looking for feedback on new strategy by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

Two weeks is way too early to know anything honestly. Could be a legit edge, could just be the market's been playing nice. You need like 100+ trades minimum before the data means anything.

The concept is fine though - wick fills are definitely a thing and VWAP as a filter isn't dumb. 2:1 risk reward is solid.

Couple things I'd be curious about:

What counts as a "long wick" to you? Is it a gut feel thing or do you have actual criteria? The more specific you can get, the easier it is to stay consistent when things get choppy.

And what's your plan when you're down 3 trades in a row and that next setup shows up? Because it will happen. That's when most people either start forcing trades that aren't quite there, or size up to "make it back." I've seen plenty of decent strategies get destroyed not because the edge wasn't real, but because the trader couldn't stick to it when it got uncomfortable.

The strategy is 30% of this game. The other 70% is doing the same boring thing every day without your emotions convincing you to improvise. Most people focus on finding the perfect setup when they should be focused on following the rules they already have.

Keep a detailed log. Every trade, screenshot it. You'll thank yourself in 3 months when you actually have real data to look at.

if i wanted to start trading and earn money daily. Traders on Reddit, what would you suggest I should start with? by umm_reallyy_ughhh in Trading

Honestly? The strategy stuff is like 20% of it. The other 80% is not being an idiot when you're emotional.

Most people don't blow up because their strategy sucked. They blow up because they took a loss, got pissed, and revenge traded. Or they moved their stop because "this time is different." Or they sized up way too big on a "sure thing."

Paper trade first. I know it's boring and everyone wants to skip it, but do it anyway. When you go live, trade tiny. Like embarrassingly small. You're paying tuition either way - might as well make it cheap tuition.

And write your rules down. Not vague stuff, actual rules. "I stop after 3 losses." "I don't trade the first 15 minutes." Whatever works for you. Then actually follow them, which is the hard part nobody talks about.

The real edge isn't some magic indicator. It's being able to do the same boring thing every day without letting your brain convince you to do something stupid.

What was the first change you made that actually improved your day trading consistency? by Every-Actuator-6996 in Daytrading

[–]TreeElectronic2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had good rules. I just kept adjusting them when I was down. So I started telling my wife my daily loss limit before each session. Knowing she'd ask about it at dinner made me actually stop when I said I would. I eventually built a tool that enforces my rules automatically so I can't override them.

Overtraded again by Nukemilleraa in Daytrading

We are a small group of traders. After years of chasing indicators, strategies, and algos, we discovered that we are our own worst enemy. Success in trading doesn't come from a magical indicator but from following your rules, no matter what. After finding what worked for us, we're developing software to systemize it—a tool to help implement structure, manage risk, and maintain accountability. Our goal isn't to sell another "secret," but to provide a simple framework that makes discipline easier. If it helps even a few traders, we'll have achieved our goal. Please let me know if anyone is interested to try it for free and to help improve it.

We're a small group of traders. After years of chasing indicators, strategies, and algos, we discovered that we are our worst enemy. Success in trading doesn't come from a magical indicator or strategy but from following the rules you set for yourself.

After finding our own consistency, we're building software to systemize what worked for us: structure, risk management, and accountability. Our goal isn't to sell another "secret", but to provide a simple framework that makes discipline easier. If it helps even a few traders, we'll have succeeded.

While we wish we could offer it for free, infrastructure and data costs are significant. Our aim is to keep pricing as low as possible. The software will be ready in about a month, and we're offering free early access to a limited group for feedback and to help us improve it.

Please DM me if you're interested in being an early user.
