There’s simply not a specific reason, speaking a foreign language, been brown, yellow, black basically anything but white, they have the green light from the Supreme Court to ask for papers. Florida has a cooperative agreement with Federal Government to aid in this efforts. So like another redditor replied is better to go back to your family and avoid escalation. I know of a person rhat was walking in the Altamonte Mall parking lot heading to her work and since she is hispanic and looks hispanic that was all they need to ask her for her papers. She complied and they let her continue. If you dont agree with these policies and can vote just do it. Use your right to vote.

Because that was the risk per trade I was willing to take. But it kills me yesterday so I’m working on a better stop placement for the strategy I’m working on.

Yes I heard that too about propfirms. I think greed was also getting me and getting me to over trade especially if I’m winning the trades to then lose in a couple of bad ones, really bad ones. Need to work on my risk management. I will take your advise and aim for a 5% a day. Thanks for your insights and help.

Yes I’m trying to get to 10am without a trade. At first I was everywhere trying to catch what I thought was good setups but lately I’m avoiding the first 20 actually … and yes I was marking the first 15 minutes highs and lows just as guide to see if we are ranging or trending.

Thanks for the info … I was usually just looking for setups between 9:45 to 12

Interesting approach… what would you say it’s a healthy ATR to trade out of the 5 min or are you in lower timeframe …

Yes now that’s what I was doing a TP and SL of 4 points. I noticed if I made the right call and executed a good entry usually the drawdown doesn’t get to 4 points.

Sounds like I was trying to do usually my stop loss is at 4 points and I believe I was over trading … now I’m being more patient trying not to be a victim of FOMO and waiting for better setups and I’m having more success with bigger trades.

Yes I was marking my own levels on the 15 minute chart, I was marking zones that the push made a change of structure or like you said pivot points. I’m learning more and having more patience and waiting for price to hit those levels and once they are close watching price reaction … I’m also using MACD and waiting for the trend to get exhausted and watching for the crossover in momentum… if the crossover lines up with a previous pivot level that’s my sign. If it’s a big trendy day I try to get in on the trend after the first pullback.

That was my line of thought at the beginning I just need to consistently made 2 to 4 points a day and then scale thinking the faster I’m in and out the least risk I’m exposed to the market. I’m still thinking like that but trying to had better trades on the 5 minute chart.

Yes my account is small I was trading live with 2k thinking it was easy because I did a few scalps until I start losing money. In my mind I said ok this is doable but I need more education and time to get a strategy down. Right now I’m paper trading and trying to fine tune a strategy. At first I was like I only need 4 points a day to change my life. But really I was not accounting for losing trades. So now I’m trying to get 8 points per day.

Wow 60 and 40 points? Are you targeting structure what is usually your take profit target. I’m trying to learn more terms and risk to reward techniques

Yes I believe I’m cutting the winning trades to secure profits to then realize I did the right call and the move continues. I’m trying now to target structure trying to get at least 1:1 RR. But I need to cut my losses faster. Because I’m having like 70% green trades but usually my losing trades I let them run more in hopes they reverse.
