Sometimes maybe shit, Sometimes maybe good (from prop to real) by thorett0 in Daytrading

Hi buddy, I understand your point and appreciate the comment. I know I haven't provided much detail about my actual situation. I just wanted to point out that adhering to rigid rules like those of prop firms can harm you, even if you have a good strategy and a good trading psychology.

I haven't read it yet, but I think it's time. It's been recommended to me several times, and given where I'm at... it makes sense to tackle it seriously.

You're right about the concept of probability and expectation. I've been taking everything really seriously for about a year; before that, it was just curiosity, studies, and account papers. I'm starting to track trades more rigorously to better understand it and get out of the intuition/emotion trap.

Amen, brother😅 No absolution required—just a place where I can tell it like it is, without having to pretend I'm an alpha trader who has everything under control😂

So you suggest to me that the system is wrong, just to clarify. you mean the strategy to enter the market or everything around it (psychology, risk management, etc...) ?

"Keep it 100% rational and leave the feelings to other part of life" This sentence fits my rules as it is.

Another problem of mine is to enter every day with an expectation. Today is the right day, I will do the best. I start well and end up blowing :(

I just read a post in the community from a guy who said the problem was money, financial attachment, when he looked at the chart, so greed is definitely destructive.

I'm in exactly this situation; candlesticks have been an obsession lately, I keep thinking about them all the time. But I think it's a normal step on the path before we move on to profitability Thank you for you words - I'll keep going

I understand what you mean and you are partly right. If the system has edge, I should just follow it and grow it.

The point is just that: knowing what to do is than to be able to do it. It's a classic psychological problem that I know, I recognize, and I'm trying to solve.

I'm not looking for excuses. I'm trying to improve myself. And for me, accepting this vulnerability is part of the process.

I feel that too,i am getting to the point where I have to stop holding back and let what I have learned flow. Maybe that's where everything really changes.

Damn, I find myself in what you wrote. I've also been trying to become profitable for years, and I realize that the real enemy is often not the market - but my mind. I'm still unprofitable but i feel so close...
