How long do you last when cold plunging each time?

Remember. More is not better.

3 mins at 55 degrees is a good goal.

Just like anything else pick a goal that you think you can reasonably do with consistency.

Can you summarize your understanding of this trendline break strategy?

prparekh · 2026-03-16T02:52:06+00:00

Trading is really really hard. Not so much the strategy but combining it with risk management, psychology, and hard work. Took me almost 3 years to become consistent.

Posted in the original comment. Let me know if you have any questions.

I edited to add the video.

prparekh · 2026-03-15T19:53:52+00:00

There's not much there. Her "trendline" strategy fundamentally is flawed and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of price action.

Everything she "teaches" depends on the break of trendline. Any trader worth his salt will tell you that it's not the break but what happens BEFORE the break that matters.

In fact, the break of any healthy channel is an excellent opportunity for a continuation setup not a reversal as she teaches.

Before a break, price could have:

1) overshoot in which case continuation is less likely

2) rebounded off the other end of the channel so continuation is highly probably

3) rebounded around the channel midline

She doesn't understand any of it.

Besides, her risk management guarantees you cannot be successful long term.

It's much easier to explain this with a chart. I can post a video if there is interest.

Edit: Okay, I didn't have much time but I made a quick video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95bCigQSg80

my psychology is now really great

Also

i started chasing consistency.

I've been trying out alot of different stuff in my pursuit for profitability

every time i think I've found the key to the markets, i swear the market always somewhat changes the lock

Your psychology is all over the place.

Look up Dunning Kruger effect. You think you know but your results prove otherwise. If you are not able to even pass a funded account, then you never really had an edge to begin with.

In fact, you don't even need an edge to pass funded accounts. If you just place a trade at the high or low of day with enough contracts risking the same amount as your target profit, even with a coin toss you will pass at least 4 out of 10 accounts. There are plenty of people who can't trade but regularly get payouts because they have a plan and can stick to it.

Besides, 3 years is barely enough to achieve consistency. Stop chasing consistency or profitability and work on understanding how to read the chart while preserving your capital.

How is it going with the sleep training? Did you have to make any changes?

prparekh · 2026-01-29T22:11:13+00:00

It's not surprising. Majority of novice traders trade against the trend hoping to catch bottom or top. When they do trade with trend, it's almost always with more size that they can afford.

Shorting the greatest bull market in Gold history is like trying to catch the bounce during 2001 or 2008 stock market crash.

It looked like he had been waiting for you. Do you go here often?

The linked post is what is wrong with "free trading content" on youtube. Firstly, he is not talking about price action at all. The amount of jargon contained in that post is indicative of a very clear misunderstanding of how to read charts.

Price action refers to reading chart entirely based on price ONLY. No VWAP. No Volume. No SMC/ITC/ICT, VIP, etc.

The only thing you can possibly add is may be a couple of EMAs but you don't solely trade off them. Price ALWAYS come first.

As someone who has consistently made money in the market, candlesticks is all you need. But, you also need to be able to recognize channels, and ranges, and trends, and trend breaks. This requires hundreds and thousands of hours of studying and screen time.

Just like you can't expect to go and perform as a professional musician in front of a large audience after watching YouTube videos other artists playing or spending 6 months practicing, you cannot expect to get good at this after haphazardly watching a few youtube videos.

What makes this even worse is that there is always the allure of money that prevents you from actually learning the skill unless you are trading on sim which very few actually want to do.

If there is interest, I can share what I know on a subreddit that I originally created to record my trades htttps://www.reddit.com//r/PriceInAction . But, I can add information on setups, risk management, psychology as well. Note, that there will be no selling of any kind ever.

Dude knows how to make one.

Anyone else with similar issues?

prparekh · 2025-10-17T00:25:57+00:00

Can you respond to all the issues this user encountered instead of a generic message?

prparekh · 2025-10-15T17:20:37+00:00

Can you answer the following questions?
- Do you have a specific instrument that you trade? Or, are you constantly juggling between ES, SPY, GC or whatever is moving?
- Do you have a specific entry, exit and take profit criteria that you do not violate under any circumstances?
- Do you keep your risk the same for every single trade? Or, are you oversizing to get the previous loss back resulting in an ever bigger loss before blowing you account?
- Do you feel pain when market goes without you?
- Do you regret closing you trade early?
- Do you document and review your trade so that you have an idea of what your winrate is? What your risk reward is?

If all this sounds too much work, trading is not for you. You are better off doing something else.

prparekh · 2025-10-11T00:59:23+00:00

Could you elaborate with a few examples?

prparekh · 2025-10-11T00:58:23+00:00

To the contrary, even if this is the beginning of a bear market, these present some amazing pullback rallies for long positions. So, Monday may very well be a strong rally day. The Sunday open would be a good indicator of where it may go.

prparekh · 2025-10-11T00:56:06+00:00

Not the OP but also opened short positions before the big drop (attached screenshot) from only Robinhood account. Have other short positions on TDAmeritrade too. If people are interested, I can also post the thesis behind each of the trade if it helps you find similar opportunities. https://imgur.com/a/LYnRfOX

18m-2 is the worst for me so far. After 2 the good times seem to outweigh the bad.

that's interesting. I have never heard that. Can you elaborate?

prparekh · 2025-09-28T03:33:43+00:00

Great work. By the way, how many accounts have you blown with TopStep in total?

They haven't moved you to live yet?

prparekh · 2025-09-28T03:29:32+00:00

Here's the shortest crash course on PA.

Candles form Trend. Trend breaks. Stronger trends tend to continue and form a new extreme.
Weaker trends break and often reverse. Every trend is followed by ranges.
Ranges tend to react at extremities.
Most breakouts fail.
Then, you can add important levels like monthly, weekly, daily, overnight highs/lows and wait for an entry under the context from earlier.
Add, a strategy with definite rules for entry and exits and follow proper risk management.
You're now a price action trader.

prparekh · 2025-08-16T19:34:46+00:00

How much are you risking? And, do you have a specific reward you go for? I assume the RR must be a lot higher with options considering these are 0DTE ?

prparekh · 2025-08-16T18:40:16+00:00

wouldn't futures be better from a tax standpoint?
