What a refreshing break from social media that was! And productive too! 5 trades deep into a 10 trade exercise on NQ using my preferred methodology, which I will henceforth simply call the "Gonzalo" method, in honor of Gonzalo Garci-Pelayo image ...

I just checked and it is a monthly subscription SIM account? No funding? I doubt I'd ever spend time or money on such a product. I adjust risk based on the size of the required stop on each particular set up.

I've taken steps to keep this from happening. I have Blocksite, and I'll be adding FF to it tomorrow morning at 8AM. I also informed my friends with whom I share a small discord that I'll be blocking discord as well. I plan on logging out of all ...

I am logging out of FF until the end of the month. I have constructed a trading plan that will allow me to follow Mark Douglas's exercise correctly for the first time since I've begun this journey. This is make or break for me. If I can't follow ...

There seems to be a misunderstanding by some as to what exactly is the insight I gained through the roulette epiphany. I am here attempting to recenter the focus. First, a few points made by the late Mark Douglas, author of The Disciplined Trader ...

I wasn't looking for accountability from you or anyone. We are, or at least were, having a discussion about a topic you yourself brought up. I was asking reasonable questions as part of normal human discourse about a claim you yourself made.

But you've not demonstrated that these were specifically price action strategies that no longer work. 2008 was the retail forex hay day when many pairs moved hundreds of pips each day and there was far more retail participation because US traders ...

"View the market as if it is rigged" is not the same saying the market is rigged for or against them. If you have a machine that you can drop in a dollar, and 40% of the time you lose your dollar, and 60% of the time you get your dollar back plus 2 ...

There is no problem with the roulette epiphany. In fact, no matter what anyone wishes to call it, the roulette epiphany is an essential psychological commitment one must make before one is able to become and remain a consistently profitable trader. ...

I spent part of the morning reading through some of the systems threads here at FF. One observation I made is that most FF members who are exploring the use of indicators to build a system seem to pay little to any attention to whT I have come to ...

I believe that trading is a lifelong calling for those truly built to endure its ups and downs. This sounds much better than stating out loud that it is also probably an addiction for many of us lol.

I have a small shelf of trading books in my home office that I consider a part of my trading syllabus. If I were to put together a course to teach myself to teach myself from scratch, "knowing now what I didn't know then," those are the books on my ...

Unless you have some magical way of knowing with 100% certainty what the market is going to do next 100% of the time, you're gambling. That isn't anything to be offended by or embarrassed about. There is a reason Mark Douglas taught traders that ...

I started another evaluation account with Topstep to test the "One instrument, One Method, One Week" hypothesis. I'll be trading ES primarily and I will manage risk by reducing size using micros (MES) as well. I started this morning. I'm on the road ...

The roulette epiphany is directly related to the fact that I did understand the Douglas's mechanical stage, and as a result, I told myself that I had accepted the risk. The epiphany was that I really had not accepted the risk. Losses still bothered ...

That's all I wish to do. I don't want this journal to be yet another journal of charts and chart arguments filled with ego-boosting "look at me and how good I am you all suck" type of posts. You can find all of those you want in the systems section ...
