pro gamers and poker players. the only people we can relate to. fyi, i also tilt on fifa sometimes. few broken controllers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAI9LZHMoZA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXqFxHiajuI i'm actually just absorbing this. again, i emphasize that, all this psycho management is useless, without positive EV method in place. So that's the reason to share, i'm gonna share my entries/exits, size, hours trading etc. This is to again emphasize the method is sound (imo) if tilt is not there. So once the method...
Great! I was going to ask you what method you trade but did not want to impose. The way I see it, we are all in the "group therapy" phase to forget the scars of Spot FX and help each other do the RIGHT Thing from those willing to help us out. The journey, even when solitary confinement is necessary to succeed, it's better to stop the bad habits from the start before we bring our old baggage over to trade with the professionals. Here, there is NO one to blame, no microlots, no possibility of scams as data feeds are transparent with broker-independent trading platforms to chose from. I am pumped and committed before two thing happen, either I am fired or my boss gets fired and I take his place. The later has happened 2 times in last five yrs resulting in working even more long hours. Neither are good options for me so one hour @ $1000 is very appealing :-)
Staying in my lane...

asian/euro session weren't ideal. got faked out couple of times during euro session, but managed to gain some of asian's session profit. Today's upsurge threw me off a little. Took note of it as possible setup in the future. Now on to US session in 15 min

So here are some reports from tradervue journal. One thing that i need to start doing is assigning tags to trades, that will give me more in depth look into how each type of trades are performing. no tilt, even though i got sliced few times during euro session.

call me a great trader once i hit the million mark. for now. i'm struggling like the rest.

yes i do sleep. over the years i've trained my body to break my sleep up in 3-4 hour chunks. i do nap after work. there are days wehre i would feel "drunk" tired, but that's rare.

tilt is a huge issue for a lot of people. if i can control it, i think i'll get on the next level. in the meantime. watching more poker/gamer videos for inspiration lol

Today i had issues during euro session again. This time, i was caught on the downward move. I think when prices break yesterday high/low, it's best to stay with the momentum. I got caught trying to fade it couple of times. Then when US session roll in, there was a perfect breakdown setup.

Just wanted to add this to my journal:

I made a mistake just now by misreading the marke. This happens from time to time i noticed. Part of the reason is that i do monitor multiple levels and depending on where price is, i make my decision. Sometimes i miss a level and trade the wrong direction that i'm supposed to

so i decided to add a level of control by listing out all the pre trade questions answering where is price relative to all these levels that i monitor. And forcing myself to type down the analysis. this way i won't miss anything and allows me to get more prepared.

btw, that was a -$450 mistake.

besides the small mistake, overall good sessions. Although I'm still struggling during euro session.
One thing i noticed is that i take the rules for momentum ending too strictly. I don't include retracements for breakout. So what happened today was i faded too early and got smashed on the downturn.

I'm still trying to get a hold on the euro session. Either i give back my asian session profits or i just miss trades cause it's behaving differently. I was trying to short initially but it went up and up. then when i finally got a decent retrace, it was too late. Right now i'm collecting notes and trying to decipher the euro session behavior (mostly the 3am-6am slot that's giving me issues).

so far this is the tally (without today's US session). euro bastards keep taking my money!

Looking at your performance by hour of day charts you should trade 9-11 and forget the rest.

Nice equity curves too. Well done.

observation

i have a stop rule for the session after 5 setups have been taken (win or lose). But when i win, i should stop at some point as well. Usually i see that after 2 net wins, my strategy goes into losing streak. There is also a window period (usually in the beginning) where the system would perform well, then breaks down after 3 hours into the session.

Not sure if everybody's system goes through similar predicament (day trading/scalping systems). Seems like my system has a shelf life of 3 hours at each session before it's "spoiled" by randomness.

This is the LAST time i ever play music in my stream. Fucking youtube blocked it {image} 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...
I finally managed to salvage portion of my video using Loom chrome extension at 16x speed (using video speed controller extension)

anyway, this will be on the channel as well as an archive to remember how a normal day can turn FUBAR (FUCKED UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION)

i keep seeing this video over and over and i am truly glad i captured it on screen. i will see it over and over.

It's funny that this day happened on Oct 19, 2018. Guess when crash of 1987 happend? OCT 19 1987!! HOLY FUCKING COINCIDENCE BATMAN!
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042115/what-caused-black-monday-stock-market-crash-1987.asp


to recap:

1. started the US session with about $400 gain
2. breakout setup failed. decent loss at about -$3700 (slightly mad that my long order at the dip didn't trigger)
3. good short per system cut to -$2500
4. this is where shit happened. i was pissed that my short entry didn't trigger, instead my long did (which in hindsight a stupid trade to place). After the initial entry, the TILT got a full hold of me. added positions up to 18 contracts. Got stopped out to -$15000
5. wanted to chase the market, this time with 36 contracts (good ol making back your losses scenario). stopped out on that one for -$34000
6. at this point system out the window, full tilt, decided to go long, lose again to about -$38,000

currently i'm at about 60% recovered. consistency is key. right now i'm pulling $2-3k a day. so just have to keep going and grind it out.
