Tomorrow, the next stage of my development as a trader within the context of the roulette epiphany begins. I will be trading MYM to YM, starting with 2 micros. The plan calls for 2:1 or better reward to risk per trade. I will scale up in size as equity grows. If at any point the equity is -$500 I will stop trading to evaluate the cause of the drawdown. I started today with 1 micro. The day was profitable, but I really screwed up the execution of the plan. Per Mark Douglas, when trading in sample size, if you break a rule or otherwise commit a trading...
Go for it Vid - good trades mate. Wishing you the very best. Following you with much interest.

The profits earned from the TradeDay prop account will ultimately be used to fund a trading account with sufficient equity to secure an income I can rely on. I have a long way to go and there is no expiration date on my attempt other than the day I die. As I don't know the day or the hour, I'll just operate as though there is no expiration date

Looks good. At one point you will get tired of searching, hopefully that day will come at the time when you still can enjoy the potential profits.

I am done searching now.

Now it is time to do.

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Some time ago I read and studied both of TooSlow's threads (HOLO and 1,2,3) completely. I've traded HOLO on CL on and off for a year or two, depending upon CL's volatility. I am reviewing his threads now as I will be using his systems for this next stage in my progress. I will therefore be posting screenshots and links of important posts he has made explaining his systems.

McGregor ( an actor, ) played the role of Nick Leeson who was a "rogue" trader who was essentially gambling his firms money. He got into such a mess that he tried to impress his will upon the market. The market did what it always does despite the wishes of gamblers in deep holes

{quote} McGregor was a "rogue" trader
Ewan McGregor was technically just an actor, playing the role of Technically, Nick Leesom, the actual rogue trader. Nick Leesom should also not be confused with Liam Neesom, who, like McGregor, is an actor, not a trader.

However, we could talk about Josh Brolin, who is both an actor and a day trader.

Ewan McGregor, Trainspotting...Yes, that part . It is an art of movie making, after all.

Honestly, I don't mind the comment but I can't watch that video. If you wouldn't mind deleting the link I'd appreciate it.

He's a great actor.

I know that Trainspotting was a good movie. I've never been able to watch, then or now.

This is where Money Management and MindFuck(Fear and Greed) appear and successful traders know how to control both.

I am surprised that you find TRO writings revolutionary. It is common sense.

I've been re-reading TooSlow's HOLO thread, page by page, post by post.

He commonly uses the following emoji pair:

It signals he is waiting. Price has not reached the level and fulfilled the conditions to trigger an trade.

TooSlow is a Top 5 FF member, imo.
