This isn’t meant to open old wounds or make anyone uncomfortable. I’m just trying to get a realistic idea of what the average journey looks like. Most traders take losses while learning, whether through personal accounts, challenges, or simple mistakes early on. If you’re comfortable sharing, how much did trading cost you before things started to improve? submitted by /u/RegisLandegre [link] [comments]

Im sure you all know this pain. You enter a trade then get stopped out for it to go the right way. This happens to me too often. I want to know, do yall enter on the pullback without confirmation (essentially predicting that it will turn or maybe a fib level), or do you enter after an engulfing or do you only enter at a breakout? Maybe it’s just a part of the game. If you enter any other way please enlighten me. My system is 1:3 RR, so a larger SL would push my TP significantly submitted by /u/Born-Sprinkles6622 [link] [comments]

I’m currently making more money than ever, but I feel that I’ve hit a wall. My daily risk is around $20k, and mentally that’s where my brain starts to struggle. I notice it affecting my trading: I hold size less, become more result-oriented, and sometimes even take less size on my best setups. It’s not a strategy problem. It’s a mental ceiling. I feel like my mind simply won’t allow me to scale further. For traders who scaled to bigger size: How did you desensitize yourself to larger losses and PnL swings? And how did you stop becoming result-oriented when the numbers got bigger? submitted by /u/Negative_Sport2262 [link] [comments]

Things finally clicked today and super happy about it!! I finally can do good trades after my first month of analysis and watching the market So if you are new to trading, make sure you've got your VWAP turned on EMA 26 & 200 MACD and volume. Analyse the trend wait for the signal around VWAP If you don't have this turned on i feel like it's impossible to read the chart submitted by /u/Cornestache [link] [comments]

I'm not gonna lie he was one of the few ones that I thought was legit in this industry, turns out I was wrong. Learned my whole strat from him and I was in his group multiple times. His webinars did help a lot I gotta say that. BUT! In his latest live trade video he made a mistake. For 1-2 frames, the overlay that was blocking his account credentials disappeared and revealed that he was trading on a demo account. What's even funnier is that in the video he was saying that he had no reason to lie as he has been doing this for so long. He had been calling out how fake the industry was multiple times too. Just lost all my respect for him, sad to see that he's fake too but I guess this is how this industry is. Remember y'all, we can only trust ourselves. Crazy how he's been lying to everybody. Now he's kicking people out of his discord for asking him to explain this situation and he hasn't said a word about it (luckily I'm not in the group anymore), really crazy. What do y'all think about this situation? submitted by /u/grapeyy28 [link] [comments]

Today I made two trades and exited them both early to lock in early profit. However, if I had stuck to my strategy in I would have more than doubled my gains. I convinced myself that it would be safer to do that and then I'd allow myself to step away, do other things, let my mind at ease. But that didn't help. Even after I closed, I somehow still wanted to watch the price move to prove my strategy would work, and it did so fast! Except that I had been out at that point, and that part kind of sucked. Is this a problem any of you have, too? What are some things you have done to improve? Thanks submitted by /u/quioe [link] [comments]

As of today and until the last Sunday of March, the New York session will open one hour earlier then usual in your local time, because they already implemented the daylight savings time. Good luck today submitted by /u/Shot_Loan_354 [link] [comments]

How many people are actually successful full time traders? Not someone who just got their first prop firm payout, but people who consistently make a living from it Trading seems to attract a lot of people chasing fast money, which probably explains the huge failure rate. Yet online it feels like everyone claims they are consistently profitable submitted by /u/buyhigh_selLow14 [link] [comments]

Trying to feel better about my strategy but I seriously feel like running away and hiding. I got overconfident and put too much money in a stock (oil) that made a rather steep correction today. Feel like such a dumbass for bragging last week despite others trying to warn me. I suppose this is why they say to never talk about money with anyone. I cringe when I think back at how stupid I must've sounded. A wannabe stock market genius. Lmao....wtf was i thinking. This definitely put me in my place. Im so embarassed. submitted by /u/Mammoth_Whereas_9877 [link] [comments]

Hey guys! This is my first posting on this sub, i know nothing of day trading so excuse me if my question turns out to be dumb but what is the “easiest” thing to trade ? Gold, oil, crypto, options ? Would also greatly appreciate any pointers to start reading/ studying trading. Thx in advance!! submitted by /u/freddy88888888 [link] [comments]

I had a bad day today. I took 2 trades with 1:1.5 RR both of them went very near to my target and then reversed to hit my SL. It made me lose control and I blew up my evaluation phase account which was at -6% drawdown at that time. My rule was to get out of market when back toback 2 SLs are hit. But I couldn't control myself after what happened today I need advice/tips from your real life experience on how to keep control during such days. submitted by /u/runfreakrunner [link] [comments]

I successfully passed the $100K 2-Step Challenge without violating any rules in Phase 1 or Phase 2. This was even acknowledged by their own support team. However, after qualifying for the Master account, my account was suddenly placed under unexpected restrictions that were never part of the product terms when I purchased the challenge. The advertised leverage for the $100K account was: FX: 1:100 Metals: 1:30 Indices: 1:20 But in reality, on my Master account I could not even place a position larger than 0.35 lot on XAUUSD, constantly receiving a “Not enough margin” error despite having sufficient balance. This effectively reduced the usable leverage to something close to 1:1, which completely defeats the purpose of a $100K funded account. Additionally, my account was forced into an “On-Demand payout model” with a 35% consistency rule, which I never selected and which was not mentioned in the product terms at the time of purchase. Another concerning issue is that whenever I asked them to clearly explain the exact reason for these restrictions and to point out the specific rule based on which my account was placed under these conditions, they never provided a clear answer. Instead, every response from their support team was generic and repetitive, referring vaguely to “risk management” or “trading behavior” without identifying any specific rule violation. Even more confusing is that they themselves confirmed that: No rules were violated The evaluation was passed legitimately Changing trading conditions after a trader has already paid for and successfully passed the evaluation raises serious concerns about transparency and fairness. Based on my experience, their intentions appear quite clear. It seems that when a trader passes both phases smoothly and has the potential to qualify for payouts, additional restrictions and conditions are applied, making it difficult for that trader to withdraw profits. In contrast, the system seems to favor situations where traders repeatedly buy new challenges and eventually lose their accounts. This creates a cycle where the firm continues to earn through challenge fees and account purchases, especially from traders who end up blowing their accounts. I would strongly advise traders not to fall for the catchy advertisements and promotional content, including YouTube interviews with supposedly successful traders. Based on my experience, the reality appears very different, and these promotions seem designed mainly to attract new traders who may not be aware of these issues. In one line, I would say that FundingPips appears to be a big-time fraud and scam. Do not spend your hard-earned money buying any account with them, as they seem to be fooling people. I have all the email conversations and evidence related to this issue. If the platform allowed uploading attachments here, I would have shared screenshots of all their responses and the complete details of what happened. submitted by /u/PerfectEfficiency137 [link] [comments]

I can be risking $1k or $1m to achieve the numbers I show here, but I think in this context, I wanted to show you that something big can happen, and how you rebound from it is what keeps you alive in this game. Not proud of the PNL because I was caught in a halt and couldn't get out, but that is definitely a risk in shorting SC that you must accept and have enough capital to sustain the black swan events. That all comes down to position sizing correctly. Had I risked 5% of my equity on my trades, I would've been wiped out. Learning how to position size and understanding risk is step one in your trading career. Most people shouldn't risk more than 1% of their equity per trade, especially when starting out. Do I still get affected by these big losses? Of course I do, but it doesn't affect the way I trade. I trade based on probability and look at the next 100, 500, 1,000 trades. By the statistics that I religiously track and monitor, I know I will have these big loss days, but if I stick with my system, overall I'll have parabolic returns. These days suck, no question about it, but if you truly know your stats and believe in the EV of your trades, it's just part of the ride. When you look back on it, it can just be a blip in your overall equity curve. When people say don't get emotional when you trade, I think that's not realistic. I get happy, angry, and sad, but I don't get jittery or anxious about how a ticker plays out. That's where you need to get to in order to succeed, IMO. So I get upset when something like this happens, but it doesn't scare me out of taking the next trade. I don't cut my winners short because I want to "get back" what I lost. I don't move my stop to B/E when things are going my way. I don't exit early to minimize a loss. I don't guess and choose which stock will work. I just take everything my system tells me to, trusting and understanding that I will be profitable. This is how you rebound. Learn the ins and outs of your trading. Journal and keep data on all your trades. Understand your equity curve and EV. This was my next day. https://preview.redd.it/596sjkadr2og1.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=273426643edd6e1d95b7c09a9ed9789d75de36d7 submitted by /u/MR_SC_Trader [link] [comments]

The Fearless Forecast for March 10, 2026 for DJIA is: (SU = Small Up; LU = Large Up; SD = Small Down; LD = Large Down) Bucket: Transition / Reversal Stabilization (post-V-reversal digestion) Volatility score: ≈ 1.32 Probabilities: SU ≈ 35% LU ≈ 18% SD ≈ 26% LD ≈ 21% Expected return: ≈ +0.22% Projected close: 47,450 – 48,200 Directional bias: 53% Up / 47% Down Previous DJIA close: 47,740.80 MAR 9 RECAP: It's hard to give Fearless a "Not Correct" when so much of the Forecast was laser-correct. The "stored volatility" we noted Friday at the close exploded downward at the open, the morning bounces and afternoon sideways drift calls were prescient. In the Lunch Hour Update, Fearless observed, "If the sideways drift penetrates 47300, probability of cascade selling in late trading greatly diminishes." Upon making that penetration, the DJIA exploded UP. So Fearless got it right with great accuracy - until the last 40 minutes. But the magnitude of the miss generates a "Not Correct". For Mar 10, Fearless opines: Tomorrow is a stabilization day, The bias is slightly upward, conducive to choppy trading. A "small up" day is most likely, with consolidation between 47700-48000 also a plausible outcome. Days like Mar 9's monster V-reversal are rare. It is likely that programmatic futures trading was a major factor in the large, sharp moves at the open and the close. Fearless doesn't expect them on Mar 10. We'll post our Opening Hour observations indicate. Opening Hour Indication: 10:00 AM (NY): see you then submitted by /u/RPCV1968 [link] [comments]

I tried holding on but never showed any cash for it an I sold something on eBay and made a killing dos that mean I found my calling? submitted by /u/unprofitabletrading [link] [comments]

When I first started trading, I thought the whole game was predicting where price would go next. Pick the right asset. Find the perfect indicator. Use the correct setup. Call the move accurately. But the longer I do this, the more it feels like prediction is actually a small part of it. A lot of the job seems more like navigation than prediction. You take a position based on what the market is showing, define your risk, and adjust as new information appears. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong, but the decision itself can still be good even if the trade loses. The market changes constantly. Trying to predict every move feels like the wrong model. Curious how others see it. Do you think trading is mostly about prediction, or more about managing uncertainty in an exposed environment? submitted by /u/PrimeFold [link] [comments]

Curious on everyone’s journey! Not looking to day trade, but open to it. More leaning toward swing trading. Happy to hear any advice and/or a good person to learn from online. submitted by /u/Overaged-Minor [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I recently joined a student investment competition that lasts about 8 weeks, and I’m looking for some advice from people who have more experience than me. The basic concept is that each participant starts with a virtual portfolio (about 10,000 in simulated money) and can invest it in things like stocks, ETFs, funds, or crypto. Trades follow real market prices, but the money is not real. The goal is simply to grow the portfolio as much as possible during the competition. The problem is that I’m pretty new to investing and active portfolio management, so I’m not really sure what the smartest approach is for such a short competition. Some things I’m wondering about: • In a short competition like this, is it better to focus on momentum / high-growth assets, or try to keep things more balanced? • How would you personally approach building a portfolio for something that only lasts a couple of months? • Any general tips or strategies you would suggest for someone new? If anyone is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it! submitted by /u/Ambitious-Mode1704 [link] [comments]

Is anyone actually risking 1% per trade with accounts over $1,000,000? Fixed amount regardless of account size? Just curious as people scale up, how they change their risk size. submitted by /u/smellsliketoast [link] [comments]

Every time oil spikes people just say airlines are bad and move on. And yeah, for most of them that's right. Fuel is 20-25% of operating costs, Brent goes to $100, and the financials get ugly. But Delta is a genuinely standout company in the best way and I don't see this discussed. They own a refinery. A crude oil refinery in Pennsylvania. When jet fuel prices spike because crude spikes, Delta captures some of that refining margin directly instead of just eating it as a cost. Every other major airline is purely on the wrong side of that trade. Delta is partially on both sides simultaneously. And here's the thing, they did this on purpose after losing $4 billion on fuel derivatives over eight years. Management said hedging is a loser's game long-term and bought a refinery instead. That's a contrarian capital allocation decision that looks really smart right now. The balance sheet situation also doesn't get enough attention. They just put up $5B in pre-tax profit in 2025, record free cash flow, and got leverage down to 2.4x. They're entering this oil shock in the best financial shape they've ever been in. That matters a lot when you're trying to figure out who survives a prolonged disruption vs. who just survives. Now the honest part, they're not immune. Their 2026 guidance was built on $2.28/gallon jet fuel and that number is skewed if Brent stays elevated. The refinery helps, it doesn't eliminate the problem. But the recovery thesis isn't really about whether Delta suffers less in the short term. It's that when this eventually resolves, they come out the other side with their balance sheet intact, their competitors weakened, and a refinery asset that literally appreciated during the disruption. The gap between Delta and the rest of the sector widens during shocks like this — and that gap is what you're buying. submitted by /u/MathTradeMan [link] [comments]

the irritability. the way you talk to people. the 2am chart checking. waking up angry and opening a position before youve even had coffee. none of that shows up in a trade log. it shows up in your relationship. your sleep. every decision you make for the next 6 hours that has nothing to do with trading. the trade was never the problem. the person it created was. does ur losing version of yourself stay inside the charts or does it follow you everywhere else submitted by /u/Tight-North-6157 [link] [comments]

After going through that emotional rollercoaster of SL → BE → watching price hit TP after… I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone. From today onwards i’m testing something simple. Either full SL or full TP. No more breakeven in the middle of the trade. Thanks to those who gave advice on my previous posts. I went back and reviewed a lot of my past trades and realized many of them actually worked… I just got scared and moved to BE too early. So now I want to test something honestly. Does my strategy and edge actually work if i just let the trade play out? Instead of interfering because of emotions. I’ll document the journey starting today. I'll show the pnl, results, wins, losses… everything. The account I’m using is a funded challenge account. So let’s see what happens if i trust the system instead of the voice in my head. Either we make it… or we learn something. submitted by /u/Sorry_Rent3548 [link] [comments]

News - Higher Timeframe Market attempts to break out of 3 month balance Lower Timeframe We open with gap down out of 3 month balance which is of course generally bearish But the decision if the break out is succcesful is not made yet We have been much lower in the asian session (-2,3%) and came up the whole european session (which can be a warning sign to the bears) Thoughts As always anything can happen I use fridays low as a line in the sand to judge if the beak out works or not submitted by /u/AMT_Scalper [link] [comments]
