  1. Haha thanks. But I just got back on my feet after losing my account (REASON: open positions outside authorized hours)

    Shit happens but let’s not repeat mistakes !
    You found out why therefore it should be easy ^^

    I like the 5 WHYs when losing big
    Then I plan not to get hit 5 steps ahead.

    Why did that sh*t happen to me ?
    Because of A. Why A ? Because B. Why B ? …

    Next time I found myself in the same reasoning,
    Then I know that the likely outcome is gonna be bad.

    My main weakness is focusing on profit,
    Everytime I find myself not minding about risk,
    Then I don’t take the trade or close is as soon as possible.

    I blew up too often on 1 single trade …

    Was a tough day according to the Gross profit / Loss
    -665 is quite a tough loss on a 50k account. +20%
    Don't blow it out ! Have a nice WE

    Lost a bunch on ES today,
    I didn’t like the low volatility.
    Then switched to CL and reached my daily goal.

    What fo you trade ?

  9. Me, I'm doing much better in the days of range. I don't really like volatility.
    I traded ES and ZB

    You have just unlocked one of the keys to becoming a successful trader. Understanding your style and capitalizing on the moments when it exhibits the behavior you have proven to be most profitable for YOU. Staying out when it doesn't is another important piece. Keep up the good work.
