  2. I read that as 'the art of self deception'.

    Maybe it was a Freudian slip. :)

    if you need any specific help or have any questions i can try and give some perspective. it is very difficult to really help someone.

    but now since i have cut my trading time down from 18 hours to 4- i am now trading mainly US session- since scalping needs liquidity and volatility-i have a lot of time on my hands and am wondering what to do. i was planning to start cooking again. that is something i enjoy and i look at it like an art form: you can be really creative with cooking.

    i do have time now so any specific questions or even trades i can give my 2 cents worth of comments

    yeah i have deceived myself that i can trade for almost 20 years.

    that is why i leave trading for long periods of time.

    i did not trade at all during the COVID time almost 3-4 yaers

    most of my losses have come during 8 pm CDT to around 7 am CDT.
    i used to trade out of boredom.

    yeah it is stupid

    Why not look at a few other "Gurus" ideas rather than over Trade out of boredom?

  9. Hello padutrader,

    What is the risk or stop loss you are using per trade?

    in scalps, risk is big....

    i take profit at 3-4 ticks and that movement you will get every time .....that is why my win rate is 100%

    Brooks says min scalp is 6 ticks but better take profit before everyone

    you scalp high probability set ups...which means small profit and big loss/risk.

    the highest probability are second entries or trading second legs

    this strategy works for the combines/prop funds who expect you to trade with zero loss... Bas@#$ ds...yeah they are really interested in funding ....themselves
