but
when ridiculed, or judged "incompetent" (for being content w/ just 1/2 to 2 points per trade day), my trading increasingly goes awry..........

Been told for several months now that am clueless, don't know what is going on, & am in fact hopeless. - But from other contexts in my life of using Intuition skillfully, I think I am in the wrong group, & need different teaching & encouragement.......................

If you are in a group that really are running you down like that then you are definitely in the wrong group. In my experience successful people tend to welcome the challenge and enthusiasm of others like them or who also have the potential to succeed. Whereas the people threatened by other's abilities aren't likely to actually have much confidence in their own results themselves, or in fact their own claims about what they are capable of tend to be in reality far from the mark.

I don't know what you learnt from that group but it certainly doesn't sound like you are going to benefit from them any further. Confidence and self belief in what you are doing can be very important for trading. It sounds like your methods that you are currently using are sound. All you have to do is consistently make a little bit of money and then gradually increase your size and make more money. Start small then compound when successful.

I would step back from any negative influences and avoid any other teaching, at least for now, and see how it goes just being confident and happy with your results and positively working through any issues yourself as and when they occur.

You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden

Almost all people there are Authentic in their genuine caring to also see others succeed, including in earning $. Plus
there's a system in place that does teach via various means: first capital Preservation, next Indicators all lagging of course, plus a bazillion other things.
So mostly it is a helpful place.
BUT at its very foundation... are a few rather significant problems, as mentioned.
There's a truism: Succeed in killing a person emotionally, & you have murdered that person. Sums it up. - And
then after a customer is physically dead, their financial state really doesn't matter any more either.
=
So foundationally emotional self-Preservation really needs to be protected. And all Good-natured & constructive & successful... abilities, & skills should be encouraged, & championed, & furthered. At least that is how I interact with Loved ones, friends, & the greater community especially children... any Beloved child (until corrupted by the world) is immensely able...
