A disastrous Friday, didn't want to stop trading and removed SL of the last trade. I think I will blow up my account next week. :mad: Made 5 trades. P&L: -115 Current balance: 147

I refer to the cash session as 9:30~4:00 regardless of time zone, I should not trade in the last two hours. Following my rules is the hardest part. May 1st is the new beginning!

Feel ashamed to talk about today's trading. Made 32 trades, forgot about all my rules, from big win to huge loss, many chances to end the day in green but kept gambling till the end. Never, ever break my rules again! Never trade after 2PM. Never change stop loss. P&L: -62 Current Balance: $262

Almost hit my daily loss limit with the first 3 losing trades in a row. The later I start trading the better. I will not trade outside the RTH from now on. Total 15 (14?) trades P&L: +47 Current balance: 324

Thanks, @NQurious. Your post makes a lot of sense, and I completely agree with you. I used to trade 1m and 5m charts, but switched to 2000 tick chart recently. I will work on two demons: 1. Can't help fading an uptrend. 2. Impulse trades.

I trade channels, I don't know if it's qualified as a plan. The thing is that I can't get rid of intuitive trades. I'm supposed to wait for a reliable channel, but I can enter a gambling mode very easily: This one might work. I don't think it can make a new high.

I have already hit my loss limit. I was in the gambling mode and couldn't help fading the up trend. Something is seriously wrong with me, I don't want to trade any more. :banghead: P&L: -35 Current balance: 277

AMP seems to charge $25 for liquidation, I hope it's not per contract. You may want to close your position by yourself.

Missed the morning session, scalped a few trades here and there. Following a uptrend is supposed to be the easiest way of trading, that's what the chart has been telling me at least. But my brain just doesn't believe it can keep going up, and forces me to fade it. Just my thought on bullish...

That's so true. I think I'm on the right track, no more huge loss, no average down, no removal of SL, couldn't believe it took me more than 4 years and a ton of money to learn these basics. :banghead: Despite my poor trading result, I feel like I can finally understand the market, maybe half of...

Thanks for your post, @NQurious! I trade price action such as channels, but I'm new to this. I tend to take intuitive trades due to lack of patience, I need to be very very patient to take my first trade. My wins are finally in alignment with losses, I used to have huge losses almost every...

Another trade ended my misery, it couldn't get any worse. A huge disappointment is an understatement. 3 losing trades in a row. P&L: -$40 Current Balance: $285 On the positive side, I'm up $11 this week. P&L of this week: Wish everyone a great weekend!

Why can't I have a little patience? :banghead::mad: I have already made 2 trades within 5 minutes, lost $24, only one trade away from my daily loss limit. Always start a day with a loss, and today with 2 full losses. I'm so angry with myself! No trading before 9:45, remember this!

You can set daily loss limit with AMP, take advantage of it and get rid of big losses, good luck!

Feels terrible about today's trading, missing good trades, taking gambling trades. Tried to follow the up trend, 2 out of 3 trades were stopped out, the winning one was very lucky, hit PT and turned around without one tick surplus. Unless I can afford 5-point SLs, I don't want to follow the...

Lol, I just couldn't help it. I'm learning to ride the trend, I will do more trend following trades when I can use a bigger SL. As I'm doing tiny scalpers, trend doesn't seem to be very important.

Feel lucky for any winning trades today. My first trade is usually a loss, as I can only afford 3 losing trades, the first one really put me in a little panic mode. Now my maximum stop loss is 10 ticks for all trades. 6 trades, 5 wins, 1 loss. P&L +23 Current Balance: $296

I became very impatient again since yesterday, I have made 2 trades after I opened my trading software 10 minutes ago. Yesterday would be a disastrous day like before If I didn't have a daily loss limit on the server side. Yesterday's loss did a number on me, if I traded tiny scalpers, those 3...

Well spot on, it's an intuitive gambling trade, and I got punished for it. :banghead: I use a tick chart.

Damn, hit my daily loss limit, I was so eager to trade. Should've manged the trades better, I moved SL to BE for the only trade that shouldn't use BE. As a result, every trade ended up with the worst result. 3 trades, two losses, one triggered BE order. PL: -36 Current Balance: $274
