    Why is the obvious not so obvious to you?

    Fucking moron. You lost so much money trading the minis, you are now finding success trading micros, during the first normalized rate cut since 2008? <---(What I mean by that is the 2020 cuts were due to an extreme exigenic event...The pandemic)

    You are a genius!

    i realised-FINALLY- i did not have the account size to even scalp one standard lot.

    i am holding micros with a wide stop. My account size is not big enough, even for this, but if i read the market correctly then i may survive. Doubtful.


    I am with TST in a '50000' combine -they are frauding traders to believe, they are trading a 50000 usd account-but if you lose 2000 usd you are blown.

    yes you are right, prop firms are fraud firms

    expecting you to make 3000 usd profit with a 2000 usd account!

    They tell you it is 50000 usd account but is a 2000 usd account.

    i actually tried and TST is laughing to the bank.

    you may be right

    but logic says that, if bulls and bears are equal, for such a long time, that it results in a long trading range, then the BO will or should, pull back to test the breakout.

    now a big trading range, in 5 min, is a very small range on the hourly or 4 hourly, and it is very likely that a breakout on that time frame, will not pull back at all
