Is it just me, or is everyone seeing this? The London session is better for day trading, and the NY session is better for aggressively scalping after the 9:30 open.

@LikkyJeaks @AD48828231 We used to sit on the loo and try force one, the exertion of the act would bring you up. The other one was sprinting down the road as fast as you possibly could, mad rush at the end 😂

Yush@TraderYush·
There comes a point when you keep making the same mistake over and over, you finally ask yourself WHAT THE FUCK I AM DOING in that moment you either say this it, I give up or you build a system that prevents the downward spiral and caps the downside damage per day/week/month. few examples: setting hard loss limit, X amount of trades per day cap. Now if you can't respect those limits, ask yourself do you want to build a long term career from trading or you just treat trading like gambling?
Diamond Bulls@Nafesah12

@TraderYush How do you stop repeating the same mistake over and over in trading? When you say you won’t do something but when market opens you do it again anyways. Take the loss then come back next day- I will follow my rules. Take a loss then chase, spiral, overtrade, blown account.

@Teja5020 Yeh, only suits a certain trading style imo. Live trailing is crazy but EOD trailing isn't so bad. Not all firms have buffer for withdraw. But it's not much different. 6% target phase 1, get another 6% for withdraw. Just same as a 2phase cfd but less % needed

@OkoTrading Yeah…but trailing drawdown,consistency rule and payout caps,buffer to withdraw this are all not worth my stress…for many people spread is not issue,but who are too quick in and out traders,who trades few 1min candles expansions and come out,it makes difference

People complain about spread,i traded all cfd prop frims and all have best trading conditions for indices….even if they restrict to 1% rule on funded accounts that still better than crap future firms
T E J A@Teja5020

consistency rule ,payout cap,trailing and no overnight holding,not able to risk all daily drawdown in a single trade….this ensures you can never capitalise on A+ setups,most are trading random price action on lower time frame that let you win some times

@Teja5020 I don't want to change anyone lol, having traded both for years, I would choose cfd if I was a day trader/swing trader, but for scalping small moves, you can't beat futures

@Teja5020 Well that's a difference reason entirely, for me, zero spread and stops and tps actually closing on the dot has been a game changer.

@Teja5020 Yup, your image shows it right there. The difference is a 1r becomes a 0.8, that really adds up over a lot of trades mate

@OkoTrading I scalped indices on 5ers,fundingpips,fundednext and CFDs on brokers like pepperstone,thinkmarkets,tickmill…no lot size charges,you can see spread difference bid and ask line …short when 1min candle is bullish,long when 1min candle is bearish, spread is not a big issue for me.

If you keep making the same mistakes, this could help. Now that I have got premium temporarily, I'll expand on this. Throughout my trading journey, I’ve realised I keep making the same mistakes. Whenever I take a loss, I get triggered. Emotionally, I’m no longer in the neutral, level headed state I was in when I took the first trade of the day. That shift affects everything: I become less patient waiting for my setup, I might change my risk size, I might hold a trade longer just to make back the previous loss, or I might even revenge trade. The bottom line is this: after a loss, I’m not in the same frame of mind, whether it’s five minutes later or an hour later. So what have I tried to fix it? Breathing exercises. Walks. Meditation. Coming back later. I’ve read five books on emotional control and discipline. And now, six years into this journey, I still experience the same issue. Here’s the turning point: last year I accepted that I’m not going to “fix” this part of me. It’s who I am. So instead of fighting it, I built my strategy around it. I know that once I take a loss, I’m not mentally in the right place for a second trade. So I implemented a one-trade-a-day rule. If I win, I close the charts, walk away, and journal in the evening. If I lose, I close the charts, walk away, journal in the evening. I then sleep, and return the next day with a COMPLETELY fresh mindset, I'm not thinking about the previous trade which was the day before. I'm fresh and NEUTRAL. Because I run a 1R target, my model naturally has a high win rate. That means fewer red days, more green days, and less emotional triggering compared to someone running a low-R system ( again built around my issue) When people say "you need a strategy that matches your personality" this is partly what they mean, and you will only know what matches from experience in the market and finding out your strengths and weaknesses. The main point is this: sometimes you can’t fix the weakness, so build your strategy around it. Accepting this has made me a far more profitable and much happier trader than I was before.

@nyroxtrades Your edge is not just your strategy, it's you and your emotional self control. Nothing will change until you fix you. And if you can't fix you, create a strat that avoids your weaknesses.

@honestfx_ Sounds like you just wrote me a riddle 😂 Ive banged on about a full bodied displacement for years but never thought much of putting it into a bit cos I thought it was too difficult, AI picking my thoughts up and working something out was impressive

Export your journals, stick it into AI, and let it analyse your thoughts I did it while coding my strat bot and it improved the 2024 backtest by 20% WR and 5x total R. Your journal probably holds more edge than you think.
