@AtifHussainOG Having all of next week off. Maybe more…. Anyone have any good ideas on how to reset from the charts ? Think it’s time.

Seriously. Don't quit trading. You're closer than you think.

@Luisjua10 Your key level?

Daily range.

@SimpleEdgeTrade @fjtrades You use 5m too? Not 1m? Thank god. Thought I was the only one

@fjtrades Love me a clean 5-minute V-return entry setup.🤑

Did anybody else see this? That’s actually crazy👀

@fjtrades Time frame entry?

Backtested my V-Shape Model in 2025: 94 trades 78% win rate $39,800+ PnL Quality > Quantity

@I_Am_The_ICT Having all of next week off. Maybe more…. Anyone have any good ideas on how to reset from the charts ? Think it’s time. What you think champ? #trading #reset #burnout #doubtful

They said you won't be able do it. Just like they said it to me... but I never believed them. Neither should you. Make them liars without saying it.

@NickDoesFutures What absolute rules do you have?

Follow your plan and your rules for 22 straight days. No oversizing. No revenge trades. No overriding your plan when it gets uncomfortable I did this & my whole life changed. Yours can too.

@jaycerifit Nice man. Enjoy your weekend

@_M_Trades Yes but demanding one mid time frame fractal swing point alignment confirming that direction then a 5m CISD within that MTF C3 to confirm its profiling and agreeing.

My month to month performance since I became profitable in April of ‘25: 2025: Apr: +6.5R (evals only, passed 1st evals) May: +2.7R June: +11R July: +2.2R Aug: -6R (fell just shy of 1st payout, blew accts) Sept: +15.5R (evals + funded) Oct: +5R (11R w/out tilt.. fell just shy of 1st payout for 2nd time) Nov: +3.5R (evals passed) Dec: -3.5 Total: +37R; no payouts. 2026: Jan: +7R Feb: +2R (1st payout) Mar: +6R (scaled fundeds to $450k) Apr: -3R (fundeds down to $350k) May: +10R June: +7R (fundeds scaled to $550k) Half of Year Gain: + 29R; $7100 in payouts. In total: > +4.4R per month > 12 out of 15 months profitable > Biggest recurring issues are 1. Cold streaks off of hot streaks. Currently working on knowing when to be hands off and when it’s my time to double down. 2. Overconfidence in the form of revenge trading. I come off of doing so well that I think I can impose my will on the market to make lost money back. Moving forward, my priority is flawless execution. If I had to guess how well I executed in these past 15 months I’d say about 50-70% of the time I executed exactly to my model/strategy. I strongly believe I can take this to 10R/mo on average and will work until it’s a reality 🫡

@jaycerifit Oh I see so like those time frames highs and lows then go down to lower time frame and wait for entry? You use 5m?

@_M_Trades Yes, weekly, daily, 6H internal or external range liquidity

@jaycerifit Do you have key levels ?

@_M_Trades 1-2 a day. But I’d like to cut this down to 3-4 per week to be honest.

@jaycerifit How many trades a day? / week? On average ? Just New York?

@_M_Trades Internal to external range liquidity and vice versa and using cracks in correlation between correlated pairs and fractal swing points to confirm the move. Within 9am-12pm as long as it aligns with a distribution/expansion phase. Everything is based off of weekly or daily chart.

@_adam_meyer @AdamWTrades But profitable, right ?

@AdamWTrades It’s good. Spend more time in the journal than in the charts.

I’m only 21. Soon to be 22, then 23… then 30. But what do I have to show for it? I’m really not where I want to be.

@AdamWTrades I’m about to take 3 weeks off. I need time. Good luck out there brother.

My day 1s know about my socials… and they think it’s a joke. And I get it. From the outside it probably looks like nothing yet. But they’re watching the start of something I’m not stopping.

@Hydra_Thahmid Hydra? 👀

@Hydra_Thahmid Having all of next week off. Maybe more…. Anyone have any good ideas on how to reset from the charts ? Think it’s time.

Fear of losing was the most difficult emotion I had to overcome in trading. It cost me many blown accounts before I finally figured out how to master it. Here are 8 principles that helped me turn that fear into discipline and confidence: 1.Never risk more than you can comfortably afford to lose. 2.Always accept that the trade can be a loss before you take it. 3.Never assume any trade is 100% guaranteed to win, even if the same setup worked many times before. Markets are probabilistic, not certain. 4.Never let a single loss trigger emotional decisions or revenge trading. Step back, reset, and stay true to your rules. 5.Always focus on executing your process perfectly rather than obsessing over the outcome of any single trade. The result will take care of itself when the process is right. 6.Never skip reviewing your losing trades. Treat them as tuition, not failure. Objective review turns pain into progress. 7.Always maintain strict risk management and proper position sizing. When you know your risk is controlled, fear loses its power over you. 8.Never tie your self-worth or confidence to the result of any individual trade. You are not your wins. You are not your losses. You are a disciplined trader executing an edge over time.

@_adam_meyer @TheH0n3stTrader Pain avoidance ?

@TheH0n3stTrader not that simple brotha. What about the emotions of pain avoidance and discomfort? Starters dont have a system to fix that ❌

If you're fucking poor... Take $100, and win 14 1:1 R:R trades. Trade 1: $200. Trade 2: $400. Trade 3: $800. Trade 4: $1,600. Trade 5: $3,200. Trade 6: $6,400. Trade 7: $12,800. Trade 8: $25,600. Trade 9: $51,200. Trade 10: $102,400. Trade 11: $204,800. Trade 12: $409,600. Trade 13: $819,200. Trade 14: $1,638,400. You're now a millionaire.

@Stroodey @andrew_nfx What do you replace that with ?

@andrew_nfx 'if this then that' thinking is a trap i still fall into too often

8 years trading the markets I've never once made money predicting where price was going I made it all reacting to where it already was

@aw_trades_ @Chris_Trades321 And when you came back did you do anything different or continue your trading as normal but it just felt clearer? Like your mind just untangled ? Because that’s how I feel now it feels to jumbo haha

@_M_Trades @Chris_Trades321 couple weeks off like no charts or trading social media at all

the psychology thread got way more love than i expected - clearly a lot of you feel the mental side is the real battle so: what's the ONE mental habit that's cost you the most money and ONE habit that’s helped you save money?

@Fun_Trades1 How do you go about your bias though?

170 trades. 2026 so far. The model I trade on $GC A mix of actual trades taken and backtesting. Stats: • 70% win rate • +68R • -5R max drawdown • 0.40R expectancy per trade A simple model idea: • Session-anchored Volume Profile • Fibonacci entry at 0.75, TP at 0.6, SL at 0.9 • Fixed 1R The interesting part wasn't the overall performance. It was where the edge actually came from. Trades taken at the Value Area High/Low produced: ✅ 76.4% win rate ✅ +58R The exact same setup without that confluence dropped to: • 58.3% win rate • +10R Despite making up only part of the sample, the Value Area edge generated 85% of the total return. Another thing I found interesting: • Longs: 70.0% WR • Shorts: 70.0% WR The model doesn't have a directional bias.

@MrZincx Trade idea ? Shorts long ? Think it’s time for me to step away and reset 🤣

“Don’t trade on bank holidays” Somehow I do best on Bank Holdiays when there is no manipulation. The stat for today: 13 of the last 15 market days before July 4th have closed green. +200 points overnight.
