This FIO account is shared between my father and I, for I am 17 years-old. I am on here far more than him and this is my journal.
I have been trading for 2 years, but have been in futures for a year. I have tried passing Topstep combines in the past but always failed. I used to trade using a billion technical indicators and other useless things. After I failed those combines, I took a 4 month break to really dive into my psychological factors behind my lackluster trading results and I also focused on "swing trading" intra-day. Thanks to Big Mike, Inletcap, rahulgopi, choke35, bmtrading9, halperin, steve2222, and countless others out here on FIO. I read the ES SPOO thread everyday as well as some people's journals.
I trade the ES in a similar fashion to Inletcap (thanks so much for all the help and inspiration). I am in a 50K combine which allows me to trade a max of 5 lots. I scale in but I never go in more than 3 contracts. I mostly never go in more than 2 contracts at a time due to not knowing when to scale in/fear of moving average price/exposing myself too much.
I will post my charts out here so you can all see what I see. I will also post my daily combine dashboard. I am currently 4 days in to the combine.
I hope that you all will give me feedback, criticism, and advice! If you disagree or criticize me, that it great, I would love to talk about it :)
I am here to better my future and hold myself accountable. More than anything, I am here to learn! Thank you for those who took the time to read this! :wave:
