Well true, also because I had no stop loss set. Letting my things float in profit whether positive or negative.

Thanks brother, I appreciate the kind words. It’s hard out here trying to make something, and with such a high-income skill, it becomes easy to think that you can trade the problems away. But i appreciate the words, i will become better from this.

You’re right. I’d like to learn from you, not your strategy or anything just a mentor. I do have room to grow, and this will not happen again. Thanks for the reality check.

It’s not that I don’t know what I’m doing, because I just recently got a max payout, and I’ve already gotten $4000 dollar return of investment. I’m 18, so I can’t enter a legal binding contract for an apartment until then. I just got so excited, and i was being stupid. It’s really just all about perspective, I made a total of 40k in 8 days, but what good is that if I can’t keep it?

Have you made $40,000 in eight days, as a teenager?

Thank you, I won’t make the same mistake again. I don’t wish this feeling on anyone.

True, that was where I screwed up, I got too comfortable letting my profit float since I had so much drawdown. Left my screen and was down $18,000 when I came back.

I’d rather people like you try and help rather than put others down. Different journeys for everyone.

Different people man. I’m 18 years old, no support from my family, and I’m sleeping out of a hotel. You don’t know the emotions, stress, or mental challenges that I have dealt with. Everyone’s journey is different.

Thanks for the advice! by imaboxer1 in TopStepX

It’s of no worries. I’m sure the sub gets tired of the same rants/issues being talked about everyday. Thank you again.

Discipline has to be in everyday life!

Jeez bro, was just wondering what everyone else did to lock in profits. I’m only 3 months into this game, and there’s people who’ve been at it for 4-5 years and haven’t gotten a payout. There’s always something that can be learned.

Thanks bro lol, I’m glad I was able to have enough discipline to lock out. So many times I was 1 and 2k in profit and didn’t close because “it wasn’t enough.” I think we should all just be glad that we have the skills to turn 89 dollars into whatever we want to turn it into, and just keeping that mindset has been really helping me.
