You do any good today?

@darrellwayne13 I'm funded a small 5k account with my prop firm. I'm on a 4 day win streak. But that's not as important as the fact that I'm using small size like 1/10 size because I got very close to getting kicked out due to risk parameters. So I'm using small size to get back a cushion and regain confidence.

@darrellwayne13 Update: Just snapped my 5* day win streak. (Forex trades a little differently than regular markets so my days start sooner) I managed to give back about 3/4th of the profit I made the day before. I'm technically still up and I could lose tomorrow too.. however it's all a number's game man, I'll still be green to close the week from that green streak I had. It's really all about preserving the ratios and risk/reward. Then it's on to the next week, next month, etc.

It's honestly becoming pretty robotic for me and this is how I want it. I trade the same pair every day as well. EUR/USD for more than a year. Benefits are my chart and all the key levels are already mapped out ahead of time. It helps to take the emotions and randomness out of it too... I really hope this helps your mindset as well hearing this. Good luck out there!

May I ask what exactly has been frustrating for you lately? Is it frustration with your own trading or otherwise?

I found myself in the hole with tons of debt throwing money at options contracts losing for years. I didn't start to find success until last year when I switched to prop firm trading Forex. There's no chance you lose 80% of your account because they don't let you go past the 10% loss mark and some 5%. This enforces discipline whether you like it or not!

I say all of that to say that I had to inevitably break all of this down and learn my edge and I had to do it fast or I would just keep having to reapply for prop firm challenges which COSTS. I had many brainstorming sessions lasting several hours, mostly without food, racking my brains with this stuff to figure out a consistent edge. You also need to know your best time to trade and have a cutoff window.

I'm really glad I could catch you during this weekend before Monday rolls around and you lose even more. This February can go really interesting or it can go really badly depending on the trader. I hope you taper off that remaining 2k slowly and learn to gradually grow it. It's not about any 1 day of trading. It's about making it month over month. Try to take that 2k and ONLY make or lose around 20-50 bucks a day for a while to gain skill and confidence. Do you want to survive February?

That's what it ultimately becomes a question of... you're going to need those survival skills. I really hope that I could be of help to you. Us traders need to stick together because this is so hard as it is. If you need anything or would like a question answered then feel free to reach out. Happy trading and good luck out there!
