(binned per thread starter’s request) heyyou serious journal

so after blowing another account I finally removed any doubt:

- pyramiding is crap
- martingale is crap
- "no stop loss" is crap
- using a single system is crap
- low risk per trade is crap
- too high risk per trade is crap
- manual trading is crap

- 80% dd is normal
- being in dd for 10 months is normal


this time I'm 100% sure of what works and what doesn't!

maybe I'll post my stats as I fund my 2 accounts with $500 because afterall I 'm an attention whore.

cheers

hey llxx77dd, it's good to see that someone is interested in trading LOW RISK..... and not pure gambling or worse, high risk investments.

talking about low risk.. I tested my broker's negative balance protection (accidentally of course )



we are so blessed to have such thing, but it seems that nobody cares

C'mon man you can't beat me

who said that i want to beat you,
i just want to be ur role model

it wasn't directed to you lol

maybe to the market, we must ask Dionis

To clarify this: I mean that with the help of leverage we can start with as little as $1k.


what are the pros of investing say $20k and risk 0.something/trade ?
that in theory you trade with a NDD broker so you don't worry about being scammed.

On the other side your money is in the broker's bank account.

Got my acc funded and well.. I opened the first trade manually.. it resulted in a loss but I didn't overleverage that much, just a little bit lol. I reversed that trade and if goes to sl I'll do the same. Yeah I'm overtrading a bit but at least I'm sticking to the RM rules.

This is why I'm scared from manual trading, because I tend to anticipate (notice I didn't say predict) or "guess" if you wish, and of course because it's time consuming. I'm still not sick of wasting hours reversing and reversing and reversing...wtf ?


probably the solution would be to post my stats, so that people can see that I'm not hopeless, and I can give them hope too.

as for now the market just doesn't move and I have this position open.. arrrgh!

I must watch this video again, it helped tremendously:

Hi Heyyou!

I think it's ok to reverse and reverse... as long as price action or eventually your system says to do so, if you just reverse because of your stop losses, I think you're going nowhere

Take care.

My balance got back to its initial state.

but that's not important. something has changed: I rediscovered trust, or faith.... in my own analysis and in life in genereal.. everything is an occasion!

there are several nuts who insist so hard that it's IMPOSSIBLE to exploit the market....
other nuts say that systematic trading doesn't work....
and finally other nuts say that everything works....

"a lie repeated 100 times becomes a half truth".

So yeah, stop listening HY for God's sake.

it is so transformative to pay attention to my thoughts while trading/gambling... lots of stuff arises !
my goal now is to remove any attachment to money not to make money. I hope that price stalls a bit more great occasion to meditate some more lol

Survived, survived it's all good.

To summarize:
I started this journal with the intention to trade automatically as I said in my first post.. SERIOUSLY.

it turned out a completely different thing.


Why ?
because manual trading was still "more profitable" in my (UNCONCIOUS) mind.

In reality, I found myself trapped in a never ending CONSOLIDATION... as always.

even though I said I had no more doubts about this or that the unconcious -(gambler)- mind prevailed.






I feel purified.

So far so good, I'm sticking to the plan & I don't feel like entering manually. I actually feel nothing!

The gambler DIED, I can't believe it.

I don't want to say "goodbye FF, time to leave" because it doesn't work, so I'll just wish a good meditation to everyone.
