Too sad to see people going mental over optimizing their strategy, never-ending crave for perfection doesn't exist in trading.
What matters is execution , even if it is a simple strategy.

Funded my first futures account today
No plans to live trade for next 10 days to ease things off, then start gradually. Emotional part has been dealt with .
Break down my goals into smaller incremental,, expecting to execute my plan with possibly less errors.
I will continue to post my charts with results .
In the past, a big winning day followed by the disaster day, hope not to repeat it. I will have to post this quote next to my trading desk

First day of live trading, not good at all
Total trades: 80
net: -145 ticks(-225 ticks including commision.)
Over trading , too excited, disregard plan, list goes on.....
i was up 145 ticks within first 15 minutes. What was going in my mind continue to trade until i found mysaelf in this deep hole.

I should start with 5 minutes chart where i get less signals, stoploss is bigger so what less trades less commision.
LOng long way ahead of me i see.
But its good one way starting with drawdown put me in alert , here after.
Never had done 80 trades in one day not even on sim.
Lessons learnt, lossing is part of the game , but should be well within our limits.
Moving on.

If you are a day trader, quit while you are ahead is the best piece of advice you can ever get. Taking every signal will only quicken up the law of large numbers which could bring the loosing streak. Small wins either 10/20 ticks consistently then increase the lot size as account grows. Knew this already did i, really not understanding ..
Stay with this. Rinse and repeat. Over and over and over. One day at a time. 20ticks a day will make a ton of money as the contract sizes get large. 20 ticks. 20 simple ticks.

Even 40 tick is seems too easy for me. This mentality is a killer for me.
Overtrading is my challenge to come after .

I dont understand how people trade those very short time frames, in higher time frames they manipulate the price so easily to hunt for stops now just imagine on lower time frames how really easy it is for them to hunt for stops

Seen this video earlier, definitely thats the way we should approach trading .
The problem is I get past those tick targets very quickly within a matter of minutes..if I stop trading for the day right then that's I am supposed to do.
But some older traits in me pops up to start chasing the price kind of forgetting why I trade in first place. Tilt is the right word.
I was going through yesterday's stats...
1.i took 51 short trades , which against my MA system
2. First 15 minutes I was up 140 ticks, didn't stopped there.
3.after first hour - 30 ticks, didn't want to accept defeat on first day, so continued to tilt.
4.allmost all the trades went to 16 ticks positive before closed as a loss.
I need to work on the trade management part, moving sl to Break even or trail.
Well, I take it from here.
