Hope you all have a wonderful day with people you care about! We all have our own unique challenges, but take some time today to create some positivity around all the things you have to be thankful for 🙏 Also…what’s your GO TO Thanksgiving side dish?

In case you were wondering who this guy is - that’s my brother Kyle…he’s kind of a big deal around here Today is his birthday, so please wish this old man a Happy Birthday and let him know that all he does for us is appreciated!

This year has been such a roller coaster with trading. I've blown double digit funded accounts and not sure I want to count the evaluations. The worst part of it was growing a few accounts to 5 figures then losing it all. In the crap storm of it all I managed to take 3 payouts, but gave it all back blowing up evals to get back what I lost. I felt defeated, buy not willing to give up. Shortly after I found this group (enter Kyle in superman attire). I was for sure skeptical about it, but optimistic. Jumped into the content head first and found myself with a new fire lit under my feet. Fast forward two months in and we got our first payout since revamping the way we trade and seeing it as a business. If I can everyone here for sure can. Let's go!

I know this isn’t a huge celebration, but it’s big to me! After practice on replay, I moved to Paper Trading. Over the course of a week and a half I took 6 trades. 5 wins, 1 loss. I focused on high quality setups and followed a small tweak to the strategy from studying my notes from the tracker and replay trading. I am starting my EA account next week, very inspiring and excited!

Reaching out to the group for some help and feedback...I've been patient (not over trading, not taking trades in non-plan areas) and have only taken trades that meet my criteria yet I have taken 5 losses in a row over the past two days. Another positive: my position sizing has been small enough that I'm not yet at risk of losing my accounts. But, 5 losses in a row just sucks - it undermines my patience, since a bunch of losses in a row reduces my confidence that the strategy will *eventually* work. Help? Anyone been in this position before and recovered to be profitable? How did you recover? Is the answer simply more and more back testing?
