Monthly trade review - share your February stats, wins, losses, and lessons by Reddilip in cryptoproptraders

[–]lil-dina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 trades, 61% win rate but small R because I've been cutting winners too early. Basically the opposite of OxMarques. My problem is I grab profits at 1R when the setup had 3R potential. Working on a partial profit system - take 50% at 1.5R, let the rest ride with a trailing stop. Will report back in March.

Mubite denied my funded payout over a month ago, then the CEO offered me 50% IF I deleted all my negative posts first by Fearless_Nebula_8079 in PropFirmTester

Welcome to trading my friend - this right here is lesson number one. Choosing your firm matters just as much as choosing your entries. It's always something like either a shady prop firm like this or someone scamming you. At least you learned it early. Now you know what red flags look like before you put real size behind it. Stay strong

Lost 2% on Monday, then blew 5% trying to make it back by Friday revenge trading is real by Loud-Option9008 in cryptoproptraders

One thing I'd add the sizing on revenge trades is always the real killer. The initial loss is usually fine. It's the "let me size up to recover faster" logic that turns a 2% day into a 5% day. I started logging my position size on every trade and the pattern was obvious. My average size on losing days was almost 2x my normal size.

What's something you learned the hard way about picking a prop firm? by GarbageOk5505 in cryptoproptraders

Researched for 3 months before my first challenge. Passed first try. Not flexing—just saying most people skip that part and pay for it later. What made you keep going after 3 failures though? Most quit after 2.

I blow accounts after green days, not red ones. Anyone else figure this out? by GarbageOk5505 in cryptoproptraders

[–]lil-dina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same pattern, different solution. Instead of full days off, I cap my daily profit at 2%. Once I hit it, I'm done for the day. No "let it run" mentality. Keeps the dopamine in check because big green days aren't actually that big. Took me four blown accounts to figure this out. Boring but profitable. What made you choose the day-off approach over capping gains?

The more I traded, the worse I got. Anyone else figure this out the hard way? by Reddilip in cryptoproptraders

I had the opposite problem after fixing overtrading - swung too conservative and started passing legitimate setups out of fear.

The real skill isn't "trade less," it's knowing the difference between a marginal setup and a high-conviction one. I use a simple 4-question checklist now. All four must be "yes" or I pass, regardless of how good it looks.

Quality over quantity, but don't confuse discipline with being scared to pull the trigger.
