Prop...I am not one to give advice right now given my current trading results but I have to chime in on the 2 comments above. Not that I know...

Nice recovery on the day Prop. Don't beat yourself up too much. Everyone falls victim to what you did. Not that it is excusable but you...
Agree on the sizing down. Has always been one of my weaknesses. I will pass on the eating of feces but will opt for a snap of a rubber band on...
It's a great suggestion. It will allow me to narrow down my focus. Once I get consistency with day trading strategies, I can tackle the swing...

Trading mean reversion of pairs is definitely not easy on the emotions. Sometimes it gives you a false sense of security thinking you cannot get...
Another day in paradise. Started off the day following all my rules. Struggling a bit with profit taking but that will improve with time....
Well the landmines I avoided last week were still around and I stepped on one today and man did it hurt. I carried a pair over the weekend...
