I can teach you, but no way I'm gonna share my two year profit and loss statements of the accounts I have.
Second, are you all ready there that you know it is you and your thinking that make you lose or is this new information for you?
Third, have you struggled enough to be teachable?
Depending on the answer of the above questions and some other things we need to talk about, I can let you see what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, how I got there and how you can get there. You want to make 500 a day and share two years of profit, fine. You need a 25% advance in an escrow account, you set on paper that if you do not exactly what we are talking about, then that money comes to me.
1.) i'm fine if you don't want to show your brokerage statements, but i do need some way to verify your profitability.
2.) i'm pretty well read in trading stuff, ive sifted through multiple assets/strategies. currently settled on FX trend trading (no nonsense forex methodology) and futures day trading (macks pat). the futures trading is new to me, and i'm still trying to figure out my approach. i have beliefs about the markets sorted out ( i think??). i'm relatively disciplined. i don't know if i can truly be aware of what the issue is, but i think it is currently more of the methodology than my psychology. macks 1 tick Stop Entry gets stopped out a lot, there are a lot of fake outs now. I will admit to my weaknesses tho: i have chased trades in demo. i can feel myself getting excited when i enter, and i am definitely excited when im in, even in demo. So i do not have the equanimity to go live yet, at all. especially with $12.50 per tick just floating around. I hope this answer your question a little better.
3.) im a professional jazz musician by trade, and ive been practicing piano since i was a child. it has taught me more about being teachable than anything ive ever done, it is a constant humbling experience. I value the mindset of being an Eternal Student, and i look to learn from everyone that i can. in trading, ive read countless books (Van Tharp, Kaufmann, Williams, LBR, Macks PAT, Naked Forex, Ross Camerons book, John Carter, Jeff Augman, Aziz day trading book, and loads more), ive read pscychology stuff, i've listen to hundreds of podcasts, watched dozens of youtube videos, backtested thousands of trades by hand, and go down forum rabbitholes every now and then. that's part of my problem i think: i've read too much. theres so much conflicting information out there, and i've got analysis paralysis. i don't need another book on setups and risk management. i need to trade. ineed to experiment and practice things in real time. i even think too much about buying pullbacks: do i market order when the ema is touched? do i trail a limit buy at the ema? do i wait for the pullback signal bar and then enter when a strong trend bar appears? Im in my head, and i think too much. Having someone who's a few years ahead of me to just bounce ideas off even would be huge.
i don't have 25% of two years of making $500/day (i can send bank statements to verify). realistically, especially with my risk tolerance, i'd be happy with $100 per day. but i can put $1000-$2000 in escrow for you, no problem. id be happy to work out the details in a message.
