I've detached myself from the mental part of trading with my money. I believe this is the only way to be able to day trade and be profitable. Just have to kill the "hope it comes back" thoughts and cut losses as soon as it turns against you and take gains as your position goes up, kill the greed.
Hey guys, Sorry I didn't update last week kind of was putting it off because of all the screen shots and explanation I'd have to do. Anyway I decided to just show the current state of my account. So far I'm up 400% on my starting account value from 2 weeks ago. Trying to keep it going, initially I went down from my last update to a little under $300 and managed to build that up to $2,500 over the last few days. Will update with my trades tomorrow as well, happy(disciplined) trading everyone!
If you are truly detached: great! But what helped me fully detach is reading/studying good texas hold'em books...along with playing it. fwiw ymmv
That's a great strategy, I've recently read "The little book of Market Wizards" it's helped me out mentally to a tremendous degree
