I've just read through this entire thread and was following eagerly. Then it suddenly ended Jan 22, 2024. Is it still going somewhere else? I'd love to contine. thanks in advance

Self funded vs prop firm… truth behind it

Hi Reo43ua, On your chart it looks like you have a NSH yet you were trading short. Also, why didn't you go to BE at the test of structure? Keep posting - it helps us all

Here's my one and only trade of the day. Recently, I've limited myself to very few trades per day and my average points per day has gone way up. I've become more picky and therefore decreased my losing trades that I took just because rather than ...

Hi Bmdenton, i get why you entered here - I took the same entry. But I was taken out at BE+4. What made you decide to take profit at +24 instead of letting the trade go down further or hitting breakeven?
