Sorry you are having a tough time. I feel for you. I start the Gauntlet Tomorrow at Midnight mst with Earn2Trade. I have a habit of overtrading in Sim...I am going to sit on my hands and trade only the good setups...
A day filled with very nice set up trades and the other "my opinion" trades.
The set up trades did well. My opinion trades predictably didn't!
I was going to take the last set up trade that was good enough to possibly make it break even, but over trading created a large overhead.
Adventure to continue Tuesday
Started the day with "Opinion Trades" the account reflected my opinions nicely in red.
Recovered to break even thanks to the set up trades. Didn't take the last set up trade cause of my opinion again.
(my opinion was: "no, there is no way the price would go there")
Yes, the price did go up there!
And so the price train left the station without me. Another day tomorrow.

Idiot start trading style, lol!
I start my day idiot style, i play my opinion multi contract style, get my ass handed to me properly.
And then i play the game of catch up observing the set up trades only with one or two contracts.
Today I was attempting to utilize moving averages to help realize the set up trades bias better.
I ought to be moving more contracts on the set up trades.
I ought to be only trading the set ups!!
(something to ponder about)
Recorded playing a single catch up game on the account again.
Maybe i ought to record the whole session and thus create a diversion in my mind and only play the set up trades.
And therefore stop screwing about with implementing my opinions of what the market ought to do.

Today I was attempting …
My opinion killed me again. It confirmed my insanity!
I'm giving all of my ticks away pretty much always in the same way, trading my opinion.
And the market is giving me ticks most of the time only through a pattern.
I will pay another $99 to TST for my 10th attempt, I'm no Conor McGregor, but I am equally obsessed about speculating the price.
Day 6 as my luck would have it, did start very well. I was trading the set up on a 5min and 15min charts.
Somewhere along the line, my opinion came along like an older brother and it wrecked me again.
I'm my own true and only enemy.
