I’ll start with the usual – Just blew another couple of accounts after great starts. I swore I would take a break, but then APEX went ahead and offered yet another 80% discount with $85 PA fee. I like TPP much better because their total cost to pro is only $100+- for a 50k pro […]

I just had an amazing day. I took a measly $25k account at Take Profit Trader from zero to almost $3k in a single day trading just 3 micros at a time. I mean, each time a reversal happened it respected the trend line – again and again and again. It was intoxicating to add
Greed will get you! Read More »
I have been thinking about my trading. Trying to understand why I stay in trades when I think or fear the trade is going to go against me. I know I’m not alone. I’m in a trade. It is progressing nicely, but there’s a nagging feeling in the back of my head that the bottoms

Seriously, I usually start out well but then get impatient when progress slows and take stupid risks. I MUST stop this. I just blew yet another account that was well on its way to success and started revenge trading when a trade went in the wrong direction for a mere $200. I should have just

I really need to get my head back in the game. I tried to learn the ICT concepts that are all over YouTube. The concept of Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps really make a lot of sense. But, when it comes down to it, there’s a lot of ambiguity! The bottom line is I’ve
After reviewing my losses over the last couple of weeks, I’ve realized my worst days are bear days. That is, I suck at trading when the market drops! I guess I’m an optimist at heart – but that is not good when trading! So… I’ve decided to create an account that ONLY trades in the
Once again, I got greedy and blew my last performance account (PA). I took a few days off and decided to try again since APEX was still offering one day eval passes. Also, it would be a shame to have paid my dues to this point and then just quit just as I’m at the
