I know this maybe not belong here , but I thought it is interesting. He was a good trader and made the 5K to 6K in less than 2 months. He was disciplined with his system , trading breakout of S/R with fixed lots , TP and SL. But his emotions won the fight over him

I think his only hope now is For the GBY/JPY to move down!

It is a different sentence to be fair. But I think he probably was lucky rather than disciplined in the first instance.

He had his own chat room and giving people signals. Thats why he gave me his investor pass. Damn ,looks a little depressing. But he still has a chabce to survive! A little chance , but still!!

What he was for certain trades but not the others? You're either disciplined or not right?
I think he used to be disciplined. I saw in the first picture he had stops always.

But on the 2nd pic, the one with graphs... No SL whatsoever.

2 conclusions that I can draw:
1)He let his discipline waver by not setting stop losses and not following his plan.
2)He never traded with stoplosses to begin with. Or maybe he never had a proper plan to begin with. Which is why in times of doubt (which we invariably will encounter at some point) he has succumbed to the pitfalls of trading.

This happened to me too when I started trading. Part of the journey lol. Lucky he just blown a 6k account. Imagine if it was 10 or 20k.
If you guys notice ... this guy has been using 0.1 lot in each trade and he was doing good ...

All of the sudden, he placed 1 lot .. and the market reversed against him ...

He had the discipline .. but he lost it .. perhaps the profits made he feel like he was on top of the world ... "I own the market" kind of thing.

I feel bad for him ... but each lesson comes with a price ...
lol i just realized something... He is running a bot.

Explains why there are no stop losses. It was probably not programmed into it.

No it was me running it on a demo account on the same interface. He was a manual trader... Was..not yet he still has a chance.

The guy was constantly using SL ,this time he just lost all his discipline , I dont know why and he has been offline ever since.

To me it looks like over-trading.

I teach my students to go for 20 pips per day and be away from the sharks.
With proper MM and using compounding it gets you VERY far.
I modified the Pic. Look at the price action. why would he short? Higher lows showing bulls gaining on the bears. once that previous support/Resistance was broken, big bullish breakout. AND thats a Daily on the "Dragon" G/J, Danger ahead.
