Started trading - 27/02/2020. Finding an edge in the market is easy. Learning to control yourself to carry out that edge is the real journey.






@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.


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





Harsh reality: 99% of supporters of trailing drawdown doesn’t have edge,they trade every day,they chase price action and blow multiple accounts which cost more than buying stayic drawdown and get funded…

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.
