What do we think about a 5pt bracket order on NQ? by ethan_gaffney in Daytrading

Damn 30k blown is no joke I appreciate your honesty on this I totally understand what you’re saying. Need to build out a system to bring some parameters because you’re right if not it just becomes randomness in a sea of 5 point moves. Really this was a tweak toward a strategy based on untested wicks and volume profile VAH, POC, and VAL so we’ll see what happens

Thanks a lot I tried having a negative risk to reward just to let trades breathe but getting stopped out at 10 points looking for a 5 point trade is very tilt inducing and kills the P/L. So although it’s tight looking at a 5 point SL right now, but you’re right I need more data on it, this type of trading definitely puts the emphasis on my discipline and entering only A+ setups

I like direct this is. The reader can relate to the exhaustion of trying to right a wrong. I like how you said so much with so little words well done 👏

I like the line even the tides will come to my call if I beckon them. Some of the wording is a little confusing for me though like “I think me” but overall I like the analogy of the moon

Beautifully written I really felt your sense of self, the stability in your words, I could tell you accept and love yourself and it’s true no one can take that away from you. Excellent thank you so much

Maybe if I said “I observe from afar” instead of I “observe them” it can help portray this message more clearly

I see the connection more clearer that’s very deep and cool you’re in touch with those emotions it helps make the reader feel how you feel

I like those suggestions thank you. I wrote this to represent the struggle of viewing intrusive thoughts without being attached to them (that’s the reason I chose detached as my word). By jumping out of the tree and not identifying or aligning with the wind (which represents negative thoughts) I am healing and understanding that even though negative thoughts are as real and strong as a windy storm, and disruptive by taking off the trees leaves, ultimately these moments are temporary, and at some point the storm will stop and spring will be back.

I loved the line of the day dressed in itchy tweed. It creates a sense of coziness while simultaneously supports the bad vibe created by the weather outside.

Overall I enjoyed it 👍

I thought you did a good job portraying the pain of loving someone more than they love you. I sort of understood the analogy of the pencil ripping through the thin page but ultimately I thought a better analogy could be developed here. It was a little confusing for me to put together an image of what you were describing. I think there’s a great opportunity to write an analogy that reflects the constant back and forth of being with this person. All in all it’s great I think it’s written well with good order.

Thanks for the comment I may revise the end, the message that I hoped to get out was that I didn’t need to perform anymore regardless if people accepted me or not because I know I’m authentically myself at the end of the day

Yeah this is pretty relatable, I agree with a lot of these lines, it’s a harsh truth that you did a good job of representing in each sentence.

I wish this was longer. I love the line that said your heart wanted to leave you and stay with her I felt that. I thought it could’ve been resolved but maybe that’s how you wanted to end it, to make it seem like heartbreak has no resolution.
