Lesson 1: Don’t focus on profits, focus on the process

This video is so relatable to me. I lost a 5k funded challenge account which at some point was 7% up, but just like you I became overconfident and took low-quality setups that led to losses. Then I tried to revenge trade to recover those lossws and I went on a losing streak that ultimately led to the breach. Emotions were at play but now at least I know what went wrong and I can work on it.

1:30 Lesson 1:
"Quit while you're ahead", meaning don't get overconfident when having winning trades.

2:16 Lesson 2
Don't revenge trade.

3:09 Lesson 3
Risk management is everything.

Cheer up brother!!! Valuable lessons you got!

[HitAndMissLab]

You can do even better than that, you can start trading algos, either ones you wrote or that you bought. You get instant consistency in a box.

It´s always the emotions but coaches often reproach you to be undisciplined or not having the right mindset.
Be aware of it because some coaches reproach you for that because their strategies are bs

[liam-n]

Most people go to “prop firms” when they’re not even consistent on live accounts smh

Happens to me everytime i reach 8-9% and lose a trade.

[oshanegrinam]

[adilsontavaresdaveiga]
