Here is example on why I am feeling proud of myself("cocky"). This is a Gold futures trade 5 Min TF and I had +250 ticks profit at the best level of this trade. However, it was not in my trading plan to take the profit there and I ended up with ...

My middle name is "Cocky" You know why? 'Cause I deserve it! There is no reason to be too humble for successful traders. Trading is a lonely profession and after a long and hard road to "get there", and become a success, it is ...

I agree that edge is mathematically derived. I call it statistics. I disagree(for the last time) on the other stuff. No one has any idea what market will do a second from now. 5% of winning traders will have discipline to deal with it. 95% of ...

"I know many say "the edge is the trader." That is 100% NOT true." Wrong, it is totally TRUE. The Edge is the trader. Flip a coin and make an entry into the market...and now it is up to you, the trader and not the market to be a winner or to be a ...

Yes, I trade futures. After spending 14 hours a day for 5 years developing my techniques and learning how to control MindFuck, I had a nice size capital but started live trading with 1 micro contract and build on it, adding 1 micro contact each ...

3. Static challenge is mandatory. Trailing loss cap dd (balance/equity) is not part of real-world trading. A 7% profit target and a -7% drawdown are within the normal distribution limits in a month. If this gaming prop firm is always on the lookout ...

I would like to expand a bit on how I traded this PA and my thought process as it relates to this thread. 1. PA moved above EMA 21 2. Retracement during the squeeze (and white dots prior) 3. Strong push up 4. Most of the traders who place their stop ...

I find your interpretation of my statement "You got to be Lucky when Luck comes around." wrong and totally not understood as it relates to markets. I admit that Luck plays a tremendous role in the random world, but you have to be "Present" in our ...

First congratulation on becoming a doctor. I am sure it was not an easy task but you did it and now can offer your knowledge and experience in helping sick and suffering humans. My point 2 (2. "No one has any clue what will happen a second from ...

Interesting..I think what you mean is sort of like these expressions that I tailored to my trading, as I leave in the present, Now.(I work hard at it) 1. "Market will do what Market will do and I am grateful it is doing something" or 2. "No one has ...

Luck comes when no mindfuck exists, you could have run away and lick your wounds, but you believed your edge and stayed the course.

Totally Agree. Here are my views on this subject. What you see below took years to understand/comprehend and triumph over. Importance of Entry = 10% Importance of Money Management = 40% Importance of controlling MindFuck(Fear and Greed) = 50% I know ...
