Yeah man, this is exactly it. I used to force trades just to follow the system and it got me wrecked more times than I care to admit. Reading price action around those key levels first, then using the thread concepts as confirmation, makes it feel ...

Follow the Candles

I usually don’t rely on the moving average stop early on either. While price is still below or not clearly trending, a fixed stop makes more sense. Once the trend starts to establish, then trailing with the moving average works much better. There ...

Why Smart Traders Watch the First Hour (Initial Balance Guide)

Why Smart Traders Watch the First Hour (Initial Balance Guide)

Funded accounts are a tool, not a flex. If you’re already disciplined they help you scale. If you’re not you’ll just fail faster (and pay more fees). Simple way to think about it: Personal account full freedom, full risk Funded account limited ...

Funded accounts vs Personal account
