Behind me is a long trading journey — about 1.5 years of consistent effort without taking any significant breaks.
That journey led me to prop firm accounts, which I unfortunately lost. Three times I came within $100–200 of passing a $25k challenge.
Once I actually passed it, but eventually fell into drawdown and couldn't recover.
That experience hit my confidence hard.
For almost a year, I struggled to come back. I became afraid of red candles, red trades, and red days. Every attempt to return to trading ended with endless backtesting instead of real execution.
Since then, I believe I've rebuilt myself.
I've developed a strategy that fits me. I've worked on my patience. I've worked on my discipline. Most importantly, I've regained confidence in my process.
Today, I'm starting a new chapter.
From now on, I'll be posting my daily and weekly results here. I'll be documenting the journey every trading day (except weekends), and together we'll see what can happen in 30 days after spending 1.5 years fighting through drawdown and self-doubt.
I had 13 trades. All of them are RED except for ONE. I lost 18% of the bag.
WHAT HAPPENED?
When I closed $BTW in a breakeven I thought that I could improve and trade during the day off. But it led me to some crucial consequences.
I opened the screener I saw that there is no tokens in which I am actually interested in. But I forced myself to take a couple of trades which led to an incredibly big drawdown. When I had -2$ I was already thinking to finish trading but decided to keep going and this the result.
№1 rule: the following week I will take less trades with my best setups. Today I caught myself on the feeling "the price can not just go lower" and now I realise that this is logic that is unacceptable and destroying. So I will take only high quality trades.
№2 rule: I an not going to force myself to enter the trades. This is the worst thing I could do. I need to improve my patience.
№3 rule: I have to remember if I am sitting at my hands I am not losing money - I am keeping them.
So guys I hope that you will never feel it or if you already did then you will never happen in this position again. #staystrong
✅$BTW is one of my best tokens in terms of perfomance.
On the chart we can clearly see that below we have key levels (liquidity). The price keeps compressing. Bullish spikes have less and less power.
This suggests that sellers are gaining control, and overall interest is slowly fading. In this context, I’m considering shorting this level, with a stop placed around 0.0863170
After strong pop up in the recent days, the current structure and liquidity positioning, I believe price may move lower to target liquidity below the marked levels
I entered with a small size just to see if my idea is correct. If price action confirms my scenario, I may consider adding closer to the levels.
UPD: after a night it was few points away from my TP so when I woke up I closed in a breakeven. A narrative has changed during the night, the sturcture changed so at this moment I do not consider shrots any longer. In opposite I am more bullish
The 5-th day of the 30-day marathon is finished. The first week is completed
The first days were terrible and I lost around 50% of my account.
SPOILER: I managed to recover. I traded with $STG $AIO and $INX
Now I am up on the week and I added another green day during the week and a green week overall.
But mistakes were made once again and I forced myself to enter the trades and tried to foreseen what is going to happen instead of acting on the basis of how the price reacts to zones and levels.
Well, I hope the next week will be waaay better. See you there.
P.S. below you can check the day by day results, but today is not displayed correctly.
The move happened, but I am not sure if it is the final. The continuation I think will happen. But I decided to stay away as I can see that the price does not have a good action and not fully understandble for me.
We have local highs with a posibility of going straight to the top.
But we also did not have a retracement and we might go lower and manipulate before taking off these local highs.
Be careful. The rectangle is the zone of interest for me. I would like the price to accumulate there and show the strong and confident move higher from them.
I would like to share my trading statistics since I RETURNED to trading already as a month.
During this period: Average profit per winning trade: +2.44% (121 trades) Average loss per losing trade: -1.76% (139 trades)
This results in: Total positive contribution: +295.24% Total negative contribution: -244.64% Net edge: +50.6% (theoretical trade-level expectancy)
On paper, this shows a positive trading edge. My average winning trade is larger than my average losing trade, which means my strategy has a statistical advantage.
However, the realized result is very different: Total income: around $161.54 Total loss: around $144.26 Net profit: $17.87
KEY INSIGHT
This suggests that the issue is not trade selection itself, but execution — specifically: 1. Inconsistent position sizing 2. Inefficient risk allocation between setups
In other words, the strategy has an edge, but I am not fully capturing it.
Such analysis I will make at the end of the marathon. #Marathon
Today I was able to recover from the hard punch from the market. I was smashed 2 days in a row, and today I was able to comeback.
You do not have to force trades and the trades will come right into your hands.
I did not pay attention to my intuition yesterday, but today I managed to stop right on time and the reward is mine.
Look through these trades on screenshot and relate to your thoughts when you lost right at the moment when you wanted to stop. See you tomorrow. #grinding
