[b]im switching back to counting ticks NOT multiplied by the lot size
im not going to use this thread as a journal anymore
so its easier for everyone [/b]



closed it for +21


i instantly regret changing the rule because +126 sounds SICK

I do that now as well after experimenting with profit as multiplied. I found I kept feeling like I should always have to explain every so***ng trade and why I was happy at bagging +3 (which actually was +30 or whatever).

Right no-one needs to know your contract size. It's not relevant most of the time unless you are discussing market limitation on scalp size.

21 sounds sick to me if that counts $1260 is pretty nice chunk of change.

yeah
we learn to dissociate from money while trading
so you dont feel it
i try to update myself on the progess on monthly basis
but when you really think about it
that clicking two buttons makes that much money
its a little mental
here in Poland its a good monthly salary

figuring this out is defenitely life changing
but then again its years on years of failing miserably
before you even get break even on this venture
i like that quote my friend used to say:
"successful trading is like getting pregnant.
everyone congratulates you when you manage it
but no one asks how many times you got fkd first"

you guys ever think who you would be if you didnt find out about trading?
i mean not in terms of a job but as a person
failing everyday for years must be taxing in some way right?

yeah
it has its ups and downs lol

for me its a habit from prop trading
speaking with the menager you would always use the multiplied number
so he got the idea where you are profitwise
without having to know the sizing of the trades etc

but its more about the ideas here
and since im not journaling everything here anymore
i will probably also cover the size in the future
i like the price marked on the ladder tho
its super lazy
but i dont have to do any drawing on the charts

[paweldobkowski]

i went short yesterday
as it moved away i placed my stop @ be and closed the shop
i knew i wont be able to sit down to trade until now basically

DUDE
the fact that they didnt stop me on this one is staggering
look at this

[paweldobkowski]

right into the previous low
+34

[paweldobkowski]

short again

[paweldobkowski]

short again

holy sht
a lot of sellers were up there
so the breakout was crazy

[paweldobkowski]

when crude moves nothing "too low" or "too high"

looking for a quick breakout
i click, you move
1 - 2 type of thing
come on

[paweldobkowski]

out +1
and reversed
they are guarding the highs
buyers are dead
