I need help.. please
after long struggle, I figured out how to be profitable and consistently make little amount. and it is not strategy, it is patiently waiting for the right setup, using same size for all trades and using 1:1 RR. however, my problem is I cannot stick to my own rules. I often go tilt and lose everything then I have to start all over again. analyzing few months of trades, I found three main scenarios of how this happens,
on a day when I make few small profitable trades, I become too confident and on the next trade I increase my lot size.
when I'm $100/$200 dollars far from payout or passing evaluation I try to reach target on that day to save one day of waiting. hi that I take a trade without obvious setup or on the right setup I increase my size.
sometimes when price is coming to my stop I feel like market makers is trying to eat my stop loss after which it will go up ultimately. Then, I move my stop loss further down and start to average.
I cannot stay calm and let the probability to take care of everything. I wrote small notes on my monitor to warn me. i read out the rules before starting everydays trading and few other ways. but no matter what at some point I forget everything, it feels like somebody hacks my brain.
how can I overcome this?
