This is my first time posting on here. A quick intro about myself, I first started learning about trading about 3 years ago and it's been one hell of a roller coaster as many of you know. I haven't had much success, mainly due to my psychology. I can easily make money on a SIM account but quickly go on tilt if I take a loss on a real account. Even if it's 1 contract on the MES.
I've tried creating rules for my self but I never seem to follow them. But I'm now convinced that there is no way for me to succeed until I start following my plan no matter how painful it may seem. Losing money is more painful.
I'm a student of Mack's PATS and I trade the 2000 tick ES chart but execute my orders on the MES until I have enough size to trade the ES.
I'm hoping that the added accountability from posting on here will help me stick to my rules.
My Rules:
Trading from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm (earlier if I'm tired/unfocused/bored)
Max 2 winners/day
Max 1 loss/day
1 Contract only until I've proven consistency
I'll be going for a 1 point scalp with a stop of 8-12 ticks depending on my signal bar.
I'll post here daily with a screenshot of my trades.
