    Mentorship

    Yep, and a lot of what he did was just that. But the best moments of teacher-student transference were unexpected. Like for example he would make a bad execution error, a mistake, and still make money on it. It was less technical and more just...being in the presence of someone who could make...

    I'm looking for an edge - I can share a percentage of my profits

    I had a breaking point with that exact issue. I backtested about 100 of my previous wins, and saw that I would have done phenomenally better with a strict 2R target, no trail, no break even, nothing. Thought I found the grail, took it to the market full of faith and confidence, no fear, and the...

    Mentorship

    Yeah, I had a mentor for a year, someone I met in real life through chance, who I remain good friends with. We spent a lot of time on the basics, repetitive "homework" type stuff. Then eventually we started posting timestamped screenshots of accounts and charts each day. Then for the last 2 or 3...

    Snapped a 7 day winning streak today. Definitely knew price was chopping around the middle of the overnight range, but still fought it way too much. Got this long going on MYM, had the thought of letting it trail but was a bit weak handed due to the earlier losses.

    Only took 2 trades today, a quick bounce off the early range in MES and a quick short in M2K.

    ok yup I see that. And yeah, I had the general impression from earlier in the session that ES was ranging and RTY and NQ were moving down. But in that actual moment of the trade, I didn't have sight of what they were doing precisely.

    Thank you for your time and comment, I definitely appreciate the feedback, that's why I'm here. I agree with you, that bearish lower high was the superior entry. I had a sense I was late. And what you said about hesitation is definitely true, and something I am focused on improving.

    chopped up pretty bad on a second attempt to short MNQ: Long on MES. Started out poorly because I tried to fade the top of the range with no real evidence. Zoomed out and remembered the weak test of 4300 yesterday, the morning chop, and the flush lower right before the rally started. Got long...

    Fought with RTY a little bit, trying to get short Shifted over to MNQ and was able to get short and add on. Took profits on that strong push down as it looked like potential support forming across those lows and with ES chopping/out of sync with NQ and RTY it seemed reasonable.

    Tomorow morning I will be looking to see if prices were able to drift down any further overnight. If price is still hanging around the 4300 area, I will be pretty cautious after the open because I think fomo buyers/chasers from today are vulnerable to getting bled out tomorrow in chop. If we...

    Ok, this is from one of my favorite death metal records from the last few years: And here's some excellent stuff from the early 2000's, way ahead of its time: Its such a wide genre, I could send you tons of unique stuff, these are just 2 that popped into my head first.

    First sequence of the day. Price turning down off the Friday high, sold on a bearish engulfing bar/lower high, stop above the bar once it closed. Sold one more on the next break lower. Covered above the previous higher low being tested because I thought there was a good chance it could chop...

    Yeah that makes sense, talking about hope to ride winners and minimize losses is probably just me trying to appear humble in front of you guys. But yeah I notice there are a lot of dual/contradictory notions in trading when it comes to actually trying to discern right conduct. And anything I try...

    Shkreli ragpulls his INU token

    Idk, in the telegram groups for them, it mainly sounds like people from poorer countries who use the word 'investing'. In early 2021 it was very easy to take advantage of those markets since you were basically trading against a few thousand people who were very very bad at trading. And they all...

    Shkreli ragpulls his INU token

    That's the point of shitcoins. You treat each one like an individual trade setup. They aren't meant to be long term in any sense. It takes about 30 minutes to make a new one and launch it.

    Is the Bear market that began January 2022 over?

    Just wanted to say, it has been my experience as an American musician touring in the UK that this is true. I love it there. Its also fun to then be a fly on the wall when english guys are talking shit about Americans as they often do lol. I remember one time listening to one English guy say to...
