Never say trading is easy ever. See how close i got to the finish line but got trumped. Today i was determined to get it done and got as close as 50 but alas crap happened.
Please don't say that. Really doesn't matter if there's a god or not. No way to prove it either way. Believe in yourself.
Hey man, have you tried to do a different sized evaluation? I have done a few challenges from various platforms but I always had the best success on the lower tiered ones. Usually the 3k-6k profit target. It is also easier to withdraw once you are actually funded as well. Thanks for your thread.
It is truly amazing how things change when you "stop doing the same things, and expect the opposite of the results from the past" -- that plus all of the extra life drama that I've been dealing with. So much so that I actually took a box cutter and sliced up the right side of my face in the shape of X to signify that "as of right now, that me is the former me..." Shit actually fucking worked!
I know. Thankfully, the remaining scar is not that deep and hard to see unless you try to see it. But I agree. I have been so 101% consumed with trading that I made myself mentally sick. However, the shift has happened. Now my trading is a bit more calm, less leveraged at 2 ES contracts and got rid of the greed and non-decisive affirmation to exit by scalping for 4 ticks. I was very close to doing the "deed" if it did not work out this time. But thankfully, I think that my insane moment switched the switch in my fucking head cause I feel so much better trading now. Knock on wood.
That's good to hear. Nothing good happens when you don't take care of yourself first. As to your trading, have you tried daily journaling? I used to do a detailed journal, but now just do jpgs with my trades showing. On the weekend, I go over the prior week's work focusing on certain trades using replay. I think a visual journal is better than a written journal. You learn a lot about your trading strategy. Anyway, glad you're on the mend.
