(binned per thread starter’s request) Give me your money

got eliminated due to not being available (took way too long). Plus i realize afterwards that this is for FUT tournament (which involves players buying players with coins). I hate pay to play for advantage.

I need to start looking for straight non FUT tourneys. If you know of any, hit me up.

Meantime..scalping the asian session. up $200

Pretty good interview

touch on topics like:

1. what makes successful trader?
2. what makes losing trader?
3. gambling vs trading
4. method vs risk management
5. discipline management
6.chosing broker/trading platform

at this point of my trading career, i've heard pretty much the same things over and over again. Markets change, but at the same time it doesn't. People don't change. Algorithms may execute more consistently, but they're programmed by people who saw patterns. And ALL algorithms have built in switches (fear triggers).

having issues with stream. It's sad when work comp/connection is below what you use at home.

Will upload video later

fucking work computer. piece of shit can't even handle normal recording. The thing was at 100% cpu use the whole time. good thing it was a short session, otherwise the laptop would've burned. So i'm not streaming or recording anymore unless i'm at home.

+$2200

Good times.

Time to go back and grind it out and finish the year strong.

YOUTUBE IS DOWN.. oh maaah gaaaaaaawwddd

It's OK here.

Ok, now that I'm back, ready to trade again. Didn't trade today because for some reason, i was just exhausted. Slept a good 10 hours (haven't done that in a long time).

Next week I will be on travel, so probably no US session except for Monday next week.

This is the LAST time i ever play music in my stream. Fucking youtube blocked it



anyway, today i lost 50% of my equity (about $40k). I worked the account up to 75k, getting excited to just hit that magic 100k, then I tilted in the US session and just went downhill. I traded total of 135 contracts (at one point 36 contracts in a trade!). Avg for me is like 20 contracts/day just few weeks ago. I reflected on the day here (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=11605932#post11605932). At least i have record of this video to refer to from time to time.

I think the pros have an advantage because they have a risk manager to lock them out when they see something falling apart. For us, we have to be our own risk manager and learn to pull the stops on our own. That's the hard part. for those that are already doing this on their own, i envy you.

Platform lockup feature would be so helpful.

So next week, going back to 2-4 contracts and work my way up again. Sigh..the "joy" of trading

Maybe i should just stick to 2-4 contracts for one whole year? I think i need a risk manager.

I'm gonna stream monday, and i need someone to chat "scream" at me if i trade more than 4 contracts in a trade...
