Hello again. Here is an update.
Up until 2 weeks ago everything was going very well, I had several consecutive winning days, mainly only scalping. On that Friday (2 weeks ago) I started the day kind of stressed. Had a minor win, followed by trades that I did not follow my rules at all, oversized, did not use proper risk management and ended up giving back everything I made during ALL past sessions. Looking back at my trades, even with the size, if I had applied proper stop losses under previous candle's low, the outcome would be totally different and they would be huge winners. But they weren't. Because all these if, would, should do not have any impact to the present. Following that, I have not been able to regain my confidence, not following a POA, despite having a decent strategy that actually WORKS. I look back at my trades and the potential outcome (trades that I actually took, not trades that I could have taken) and every single day I could end my day very positive, but I don't.
And that happens, because I only scalp my winners, feeling immediately the need to flee, whereas I will always stay in a trade which goes opposite, until I am stopped out. Only in today's session, my AAPL and RBLX trades would be huge winners, being in them from almost the open, and both of which never went against me.
I have a serious issue which I am really aware of, being unable to stay in my winning trades because of fear.
I talk to a more experienced friend, he is always giving me good advice, but I am still unable to abide by that single rule, do not sell your winner short. It is so discouraging, analyzing my trades after the end of the session, and observing the potential they had. I don't know what to do.
P.s: My PTA has not have had a single losing day in any trading session for a month now. But my PTA results are not transfarable live, sadly.
