This trading game is no joke, I’ll be the first to say. November is when I really started trading, blew one eval and passed another in four days. Also was trading on my personal account. I was doing really well, until I blew both my personal account and my PA account. Took some time to reflect. And really study the market. I only study ES/MES. I literally sit at my desk and study price movements (no indicator no nothing) 8+ hours a day, honestly more like 16+. I’ve been studying price movements on all trading sessions. I draw all the price levels I have notice there are reactions to. I like being in and out of trades (scalping), because one thing I’ve notice (on es/mes) is that at any moment, there can be a sudden flush. So to minimize getting caught in a flush I like to be in and out, few seconds to a few minutes. With that said, over the past month or so I’ve been slowly growing a small account and trying to pass another eval. Finally did yesterday!
P.S try not to oversize on any one trade. That’s what messed me up, and it’s okay if the market doesn’t instantly go in your favor, sometimes it goes against you for a little then goes in your favor. However, know when to cut your losses.
