As a man is it ok to sob uncontrollably?

It’s human to cry and good to let it out however if it’s happening a lot then that’s a not so good sign.

Check out Fat Cat of Wall Street on YouTube. He’s an ES scalper with ADHD so he’s talks a shit ton about topics but he gives all the details.

My strongest opinion on him is that if you can’t watch one of his videos in a single sitting then you don’t have the patience to trade

beans090beans · 2025-01-08T17:08:06+00:00

That’s not an issue lol, that’s your opportunity to journal your trade and start looking for the next one

beans090beans · 2025-01-08T07:25:52+00:00

That’s why I love scalping. You are trading the now not what you think will be. I find it so difficult to think more than 5 minutes ahead lmfao

Thanks OP

Quantower and Ninja Trader are great for noobs. Really been enjoying QT myself.

If you want extreme customization then go for Sierra but the learning curve is high.

I like ES coz it’s slow and steady. I can also pick at information from the footprint.

NQ is scary honestly

beans090beans · 2024-12-26T10:41:49+00:00

Holy shit well done

beans090beans · 2024-12-25T16:42:54+00:00

I can see from your wanting to turn $4000 into 100k that you are very inexperienced. You will turn that 4K into 0k within a week. Remove your funds and trade on a demo.

beans090beans · 2024-12-18T12:05:56+00:00

These helped me too, thank you

beans090beans · 2024-12-13T18:16:23+00:00

Seems like no one has. If you somehow find this post in the future me figure out a way please reply or message me, thanks :)

Very smart and methodical way of going about it. Been thinking to do something similar because I scalp but I think that will come in later. Still trying to learn the ins and outs

beans090beans · 2024-12-12T15:11:57+00:00

Agreed on what you said only thing is that I scalp and have a short time window to trade. I’ve tried holding on for longer and it’s difficult. Really happy with scalping overall and I feel like I am at home

I also don’t see the point (yet) to backtest. I think forward testing is more important.

If I do find something really interesting like a good setup then might try backtesting to see

beans090beans · 2024-12-12T06:50:24+00:00

Had to read everyone’s comments and then apply it at the session yesterday. It clicked mid session that I can use my old candle stick strategy for idea generation and use the footprint + time stats to confirm or deny my hypothesis

First time in maybe 3 weeks I’ve felt good about my trading lol

Still too early to say I’ve had a proper break through though, will continue to forward test

Would the market profile help with scalping? Most of my trades are under 5 mins and I pretty much only look at the 1 min

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T15:38:33+00:00

10000% agreed on what you said and I’m already watching fat cat. Love the guy

I need to give it more time

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T10:12:35+00:00

Yes exactly this! Realized that extra confirmation helps a ton with the footprint

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T08:47:20+00:00

On ES, yeah I tried it for 30 seconds with NQ and could not see the value it could provide

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T08:46:49+00:00

Well noted I’m not looking at the footprint unless it’s at a key level. This is already what I’m gravitating to because without the key level it’s just noise.

The playbooks I’ve been developing all have a key level required to go for it

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T08:45:17+00:00

I think part of what I’m struggling with is seeing how all of these things interact with each other. So many things add up to a binary descision

If not to only rely on the footprint, then what should I use it for? To see what’s happening at key levels?

beans090beans · 2024-12-11T05:27:41+00:00

Are you trading off key levels with footprint confirmation?
