    I wonder if you released 3000, I hope not on ES?

  2. Not sure what you mean by the "childish" comment but I do 1,000% agree with the mental aspect of trading being more important.


    Thanks for the feedback!

    The loss of 3000 USD in one day is a mental problem, it has nothing to do with the market, remember that.

  4. Absolutely agree....I was having my Internet installed into my new studio when I was in the bad trade and well.....I'm not going to make any excuses, I should have exited.

    I look at every loss as a lesson and I think I finally realized one of the missing pieces to my trading strategy.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Since we are fighting in the same war, here are some ideas:
    1. Books by Jared Tendler: "The Mental Game of Poker 1" and "The Mental Game of Poker 2", an absolute hit for the trader.
    2. Market Profile - you can't make money without it,
    3. For mental problems nootropics, Oxiracetam, Aniracetam, read
    4. Software relatively cheap with market profile - multicharts
    Don't thank :)

  7. This will be my last post.

    I thought it would help me but after some hard thinking, it has not and has most likely impeded my progress in some ways that even I am not aware of subconsciously...

    Anyway, good luck all!

    You are correct in thinking the forum would help, but didn't. If you make a bad trade, you get slammed. If you make a good trade, nobody cares.
