Thanks @Kaimu for the insights. That is a somewhat good assessment of my "cycles". Which has pushed my mental game into the proverbial corner. From there its a slippery slope into revenge , over sizing & fighting trends while blindly in a tilt mindset. Another reason I try to stay with micros so I can sit comfortably & manage the trades. As I get lost in the greed of quick full mini profits. I'd say half of my blowups are from consciously or unconsciously using NQ mini's.
Money is great I accept which ever way it flows, begrudgingly at times. At this point my biggest goal - mental hurdle is making all the time spent count towards something positive. I did wait an extra day to finish this thought. I re-listened to a old alpha mind podcast in regards to the deeper connections to money, yes without getting into all the details you're on point. So now Ill work on changing that mentality.
Just writing off the top of my head, I see trading as a competitive skill to grow & learn from. To be rewarded when I'm disciplined & focused to take the high risk opportunities. I say high risk because its NQ/MNQ and I'm a short time frame trader 5min trade is rare for me to collect 3-20+ pts. My previously stated logic for it is less exposure/time waiting. Also a product or bad habit of being a prop trader & constantly protecting profits.
Was my best week in a long time. Trading 3 accounts no copier. My MAE/MFE could be improved if I waited more.
