This is it I only got so far I couldn't squeeze the rest in lol but yeah I highly recommend watching that video that's how you determine trend and its quite a common analysis a lot of retail traders get wrong, statistically you have a higher probability of the trade going your way if your going with trend.

be careful, in my opinion price above prior CPI news to me is indicating intuitions are taking profit and re positioning themselves. From the high we’ve seen price pull back to 61.8 I would not be surprised to see New York take 4013 then to explode back up just an opinion. But shorting for a 2:1 is still good but feels risky shorting in this area till at least we see the 4 hour candle close at 2pm London time

I know brother I trust myself more than anyone and everyone should think the same. I was just trying to explain a common error most retail traders get wrong and its one of the most important analysis to do here is my 3 rules in order of most importance.

Rule 1: Emotions and Risk management (MOST IMPORTANT FORGET EVERYTHING AND NAIL THIS DOWN)
Rule 2: IOF (supply and demand)
Rule 3: Fundamentals (News, analysis and confirmations)

I promise if you go by these in order you will make a living out of this.

if risk management and emotions aren’t already in check shouldn’t even be on a live account

You don't ever get emotions in check without trying to trade with some live capital. Even if its only small amount.

Paper trading can only teach so much. If someone manages it and feels there was no difference from demo to live, hats off to them. I just don't think that will be the case for most.

I personally will not lie about it. My emotions only got better with exposure to a live account and learning during that early stages of it

As of right now we are on a down trend as 3 directional segments have been distinguished LL LH and LL your last controlling LH and candle closes above is a break of structure, your last controlling HL and candle closes below is a break of uptrend. NOT WICKS WICKS DONT DETERMINE TREND ONLY CANDLE CLOSES!!!!!.

personally I spent a year on a demo keeping it realistic to live capital a lot of beginners love these 1 lots so unrealistic and having a strategy and maintaining that strategy and when that win rate is proving you are doing well move to a live. Completely get what you are saying but I feel if you are constantly worrying about emotions you are over leveraging and not following your trading plan personally but we all different

Prices will go higher if consistency above 4034. Rally Base Rally. Beginning of a liquidity void without confirmation. IMHO.

Oh I agree about the over leveraging. Most view trading as a get rich quick scheme. Managing trades per capital is the key. 1% risk is on the high side for me already

. Most newer traders will see that as far too small.

The key is if you can turn a profit. Grow the capital. It will snowball and become a money maker.

The problem is, the average person does not want to do the work to get to that stage.

I always look at % gain or loss instead of $$ gained or lost. That was the biggest mindshift for me. Helped big time for positivity.

I have to applaud your discipline and mindset from the start. Very well done!
