Okay. In the meantime, post them charts with your entry and exit and maybe we can compare notes.
i can post charts with arrows when i post charts and also mention entry price when i post entry charts when i have time.
since i am trading live and have the option only to open maximum of two ESMINI contracts, i have to concentrate more on entry, and so i do not want the distraction of posting live, when i am actually trading for real money.
the mindset when you trade real money, which you can actually withdraw is, as every trader knows, totally different.
the level of concentration and focus when trading live, is exponentially higher, and i have experienced a lot of second guessing, that i do when trading live.
i have to learn to deal with it and normally identification of a problem usually offers a built in solution. The solution is often not liked and so we have to learn to do things we don't like
since any position, which is opened, will have a drawdown/profit, as soon as it is opened, I usually add a contract during that inevitable drawdown and sometimes exit if i get a profit immediately. this exit is usually after one point as also the addition of a contract.
So topstep has knowingly restricted my power to trade, as i am used to, since they allow 5 contracts during the evaluation phase.
that said when the ES is swinging nicely, 2 contracts or even one contract is more than enough to make 2000-4000 usd in a trading session which includes Globex.
