That's what's great about trading. Both options can work. Your Method is your method. His method is his method. For some not taking a full 1R works. For others, the entire method is built upon taking 1R losses.

Sure. I agree. But maybe a couple of low 2k account wipes might peak his interest. It might inspire him to 1) develope a well-tested trading plan. And 2) hopefully develope a trader's mindset. Maybe he might even SIM for a few months to ensure his business has positive expectancy. 3 2k wipe...

Yes. Time to man up. Rebuild. You have a hard few months and years ahead of you. Face it head on. Most importantly....when you're ready.....LEARN FROM THIS.

Wabu I'm all for chasing dreams. I'm all for believing in one's self. Chase them. But! Please be wise. Wisdom does not say quit your job "hoping" to bank 3k per month off a 40k account. 3k will pay your bills. You won't add to your equity with that. So good luck, but you can still...

I liked reading KDASFTG'S response. Doing the q and R might really help. After reading your posts, I'm wondering......" What are you truly seeking"? I wouldnt advise you to "live how you trade". If the professional traders did that they would no longer be human. :-) Your...

Do I sound like I don't?

Awesome.

To answer the question..... "Free of the corporate world" is bullshit. Some people want to contribute to the workplace even if they are trading. Some people desire to be "free from the corporate world" period. What's your desire? (Should be in trading plan) If one pays attention, there's...

Lol. Woops. I didn't see the ad earlier. It was just blank. Must be an affiliate. Or he was hacked. He Has a lot of posts and I'm assuming they're not all ads.

Is your question only in the title? Is that kind of like writing an email with ONLY a subject line?

It's a great truth. Once instilled at a functional level, as you're learning, there is no possibility of "perceiving" any market information as "dangerous". You are learning something unique everyday no matter how similar to past days/moments. Douglas sure teaches it well. I work through it...

There is so much gold in that statement! Maybe it's not about the Method? It continues to fascinate me as well. But it's more of an "AHA" and a reminder for me to remember the "actual" game that we are playing. -JS

Where'd you go?

A-to-the-MEN.

I'm curious as well. Redraw green uptrend because of support there?

Wow. Resurrection!

Hey jas, I'm still following and am learning so much personally from your journey. Especially the ability to adapt when CL isn't giving you many signals. Your ability to notice this change is super. It will keep you from blowing an account. As for me, work has demanded too much time to day...

Big targets are great when you are in a position to let a lot run as H123 said. Small but consistent profits might really help you. This is a good idea. Excited to see results after a few weeks. Enjoy vacation. Go away! Steak and wine. Beer and fishing. Or beer and call of duty. What?

True. Don't look at it as weakness. Opportunity to learn to do things better. As you learn to objectively identify and flawlessly execute, I'd bet some answers will slap you in the face. Like you said you've trained yourself to let 15 ticks turn into a BE. Maybe you can set up a regime...

Rootin for ya man. Don't be discouraged. The results simply indicate there are things left to learn...as you've already pointed out. That's good. It's also good you're still really willing to learn. -JS
