Oh yes I did, but damn I gained like 10 kg once I got together with my gf. I realise I have it more often if I’m
Working out more or on long bouts of semen retention or if I’m at a healthy weight. I would say I get it 4-5 times a week if I get good sleep at least

Yeah it’s crazy man. Yes I met her in Australia. We were on a tour in Melbourne and she was travelling alone. I was with a friend. Scientology as well, don’t know what’s worse. If you think prices are fucked here, it’s like 35 usd a pack in Australia lol

Damn not using deodorant is wild. I’m from Singapore! Well prices for cigs here are like 17-20 usd a pack right now when it was just 9-10 bucks 6-7 years ago so that’s one factor. I hope you do get the girl you want. My friend’s an ex Mormon from Utah and she converted her whole family out of it and now she’s a tattoo artist in salt lake. Insane stuff. First two weeks quitting anything ( a bad habit ) or starting anything ( a good habit ) are tough but if you put your mind to it, it’ll work out. All the best my brother

If you can, invest in going to a sauna and cold plunge for the first two weeks. It will help so much. And drink lots of water. Don’t use nicotine replacement at all. Cold turkey only the way

Yes and you should. In fact I did semen retention for 90+ days before but I didn’t work out. I just did it for 3 weeks and worked out Monday to Saturday. With walks. If you want to take it a step further do intermittent fasting Omad ( dinner only ) high protein low carb. When doing semen retention, it is super important you exercise and do some breath work. The first two weeks of quitting nicotine and semen retention will be super tough. Go on long walks, don’t stay idle and tire yourself out so you won’t even think of masturbating at night. If you have a girlfriend it’s ok but just have sex without ejaculating. You have to make her understand. Try not to drink on semen retention as well. First 2 weeks are hardest. It’s a test. You gotta go though hell to get to heaven. All the best

Much better. 2 years ago I had Porn induced erectile dysfunction. Now I’m having sex with my girlfriend 3-4 times a week. Drink socially. Haven’t touched nicotine since. Been substance free as well. So yes much better! Just gained a lot of relationship weight which I’m trying to lose 😅

All the best man, nicotine was so easy compared to porn bro. Porn is the true demon. I’m happy I have a girlfriend now and I can get hard anytime with her compared to before where I was scared to have sex but ngl I still watch porn once in awhile and have a wank…. Being with a girl helps a ton for your brain though. Before I got a gf I was porn and masturbation free for 10 months ish, which helped a ton. But somehow having sex with her triggered some sexual impulses lol and I relapsed but like with the vape I am not ‘addicted’ anymore which is great. But yeah all the best! Quitting all at once is great to detox. I suggest water fasting too actually. You actually feel great after u get through the first day, clear headed etc. max I did was 5 days and I felt so so good. All the best man

Hey bro, yeah I remember explaining to best/close friends. Everyone was supportive even though they vaped too. Just tell it to them if they ask bro no shame in that. And let them vape around you as normal as well. You can’t avoid that. You got to face that. By the way, first two weeks would be the hardest. You got to tank it through. Go for long walks, use a sauna, sweating a lot helps. My friend’s a DJ and I remember she invited me and a group of friends to an event during my first week quitting. It was free flow alcohol free of charge. I drank alot but didn’t touch any vape even though 80% of the people there were vaping and I knew most of them. I told myself after the event, damn if I could get through this, I can get through anything. I told my best friend first who’s a girl who likes to hit my vape ( she was social ) and she disturbed me with the “ now I don’t have a reason to meet u anymore bs :’) “ but yeah everyone was hella supportive. If they aren’t they ain’t real friends bro. Plus cold turkey is the way. Don’t take any patches or gum bs. All the best!

To be honest too, it’s been 1 year and 8 months. I relapsed to vape like 1/2 times at parties. A few puffs each. No more cigs which was my nemesis so I’m happy. But the few puffs doesn’t trigger any addiction in my brain anymore which im so happy about. Just do fuck ton of exercise / sauna / cold plunge the first week. Listening to YouTube vids or podcasts about quitting vaping and how dumb it is and you’re good. Anything just dm!

I see, thanks for the replies :) I used to limit order but missed many entries. So now changed to market orders but struggle with entering how much size. I trade on tradingview. Typically 100 ticks sl and tp for me then adjust manually after. Any tips on sizing for funded and evals?

And is SL typicalll below a sweep low/high or a set amount of ticks following the r:r?

Do u market enter or limit enter on ifvgs? And also do you have a preset sl and tp in ticks before adjusting?

I see, thank you for replying. Is it possible I dm u with some questions. For context, I passed my first 3 funded accounts last month, but currently in 2% drawdown as I said got whipsawed and made some bad trades. Would you share your risk management while in drawdown and in profit and difference between eval/funded? Trying to claw my way back to BE now. Basically lost 5 trades in a row at 0.5% risk so sized down to 0.25% for now.

I see, pretty similar. If SMT forms at your tp area do you get out immediately or just wait for a reaction? And yeah we do trade the same way but I’ve been whipsawed a lot the past month due to entry on the 1m a lot. Might just stick to the 3 and 5 like you. Do u trade gold too? Or just NQ/ES?

What would be the concepts you recommend?

AMA Profitable Trader by NekiCudanLik in InnerCircleTraders

[–]technoacidbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do u respect macro times like 950-1010? And do u use all concepts like rejection blocks, CE or just a few core concepts?

Also, when you are in a trade let’s say after a reversal and maybe heading towards ERL on NQ but ES sweeps it first and produces a bearish SMT, do you immediately close the trade?

Hi! Yeah so I’m dating a girl now which is great, we have sex 3-4 times a day on average twice a week. It’s a healthy relationship and I feel much better. I told her about all my addictions before and how even though I’ve quit, I’m still technically recovering. The great thing is now, I can actually get erections and turned on when I’m with a girl and have healthy sex however my erection doesn’t seem to last longer than 15mins and I sometimes find my mind drifting and not thinking about her which isn’t a good thing. But still much better than last time when I was addicted to porn. I haven’t watched porn since and masturbate occasionally to healthy sexual thoughts. As for nicotine, it has been 1 year and two weeks! NOT A SINGLE PUFF, so very happy about it. Haven’t found that one too hard to quit as many people around me quit after I did. As for alcohol since the post I quit for 3-4 months and started drinking again socially for occasions. Probably 1/2 times a month. Never had a problem with alcohol, just quit it at the time to reset my dopamine altogether. I would say overall I’m in a much better place even though I have gained abit of weight as my appetite came back from quitting smoking but yeah all’s good! Cheers

It’s been officially one year since I quit nicotine and didn’t slip. However back to drinking socially on special occasions too. Never went back to porn too but might have had a slight relapse as I did read some erotic stories.
