How many months of green before you go live? MES

I have a strategy. I am confident it works pretty well. I am not switching anymore. I have been green two months. Win rate last month 62%. I think I can do better. I have backtested it on old data and was green too. I have been keeping my own data on spreadsheets and seems to match up with the backtests very well.

I have been working on futures trading 15 months patiently in simulator. I dunno what else can be done. I have done everything everyone said to do in here and books and what not. I haven’t really lost money at this point the times I did attempt live prematurely. I have spent some on software and monthly data I guess is adding up over that time. Nothing crazy though.

I only like to trade two contracts is what is difficult to go right from sim to live. I have a 19k account I want to trade two MES on. It has just been sitting there for months and months waiting to actually use it. Can I just do it and get it over with?

I see a lot of posts people saying don’t learn how to read music, don’t learn theory, play by feel, don’t read books, don’t take lessons.

Like it is some mysterious instrument you need to unlock and will become a guru afterwards. This is the only instrument where I hear people say this.

I just don’t see the guitar as different than a keyboard, or see why it should be approached differently. I don’t think you need to be Mozart or sight read and play a complex piece, but I just don’t understand the anti learning approach.

In my experience learning some of the mechanics just made things way easier than more difficult.
