just because it worked for you for a few days, you increase your position size.

I am learning Ser, I blown many accounts in my last 10 years. Even one in august after taking it to 1800% approx

I will stick to it now, so many things need to be adjusted. I am still tweaking my self. I thank you a lot.

Market is always rando and I learnt it many years ago, may be this will not work in winters or may be work more better.

i can point out 3 things that are the killers:
1. big position size
2. over trading
3. no stop loss

be consistent is most important.
be satisfied with 20% per month like in mar 2023 (hedge fund already happy with 20% per year)
and account won't get blown.

you probably do that because your account size is small.
you can afford to lose it mentality.
but that gives you no discipline and patience to wait for good trades.

Yes, it included everything you quoted. While we compare 20% of a small account we got dissatisfied however in long run with compounding it does miracle. I am trying to 1-2% per day and stop trading after that.

The OP can correct us,

In my view, GU has broken the long-term downtrend trendline and created a huge Bullish engulf to touch down the recent bearish engulf, as Op taught us how price reacts from one engulf zone to another, however taking a short from current zone is not advisable and we need to wait further. Also, the weekly has touchdown the support and the candle may give a reversal next week but need to wait.

gu can do 2 things.
if the top bearish engulf breaks, will go up.
or if come down to the lower engulf fail and bounce up.

Well summarized.
Been following your thread and seen the setups, they are good. I prefer support/resistance and your method does just that in a different manner. Good luck and wish you lots of pips.

@imifx : We have all been through this @ some point. Some take longer to mend their ways some learn quick. But better late than never buddy.. mend the rules. 1800% is damn good but then blowing it off is just not sensible trading. Prepare yourself mentally and you will never lose the longer battle.

Daily bias and market structure shift, to me, is the most important thing in trading. That's a very well written example.
Trading is gambling. So gamble responsibly.
