good outcome. 6ms is already well past the point of diminishing returns for anything but serious automated scalping. spend your energy on the strategy and broker quality, the latency box is already ticked for you.
gutting to read this happened to you, ive been there and it stings more than a normal loss because you earned it hope the rule turns out to be their error. either way thanks for the warning, screenshotting my rules tonight.
logged both accounts for two weeks and the prop really is a point worse on average but my edge has the room, so im staying. feels good to decide on data instead of paranoia.
this calmed me down a lot, was stressing that my market maker broker was secretly my enemy turns out my position sizing was the enemy. back to the journal.
and yet most will still bookmark this, watch forty more videos, and place a 5 percent risk trade on day three because a pattern looked spicy. knowing the order and respecting it are, as always, different things.
ill admit it, people coming back to mark their misses is more than i expected. keep doing the friday follow-up and this thread might actually be worth something, unlike the usual confident-monday-silent-friday routine.
this thread is a gut punch but i needed it just realised my 'holy grail' was repainting the whole time. back to the drawing board but at least i know now instead of after blowing an account.
the ninety-percent-die rate is real and worth accepting upfront so you dont quit when your first five ideas fail. thats not failure, thats the filter doing its job. the one idea in ten that survives honest testing is worth the nine that didnt, because it survived precisely the scrutiny that will keep you trading it through hard times. expect the graveyard, its where the real strategy comes from.
this is the calmest beginner advice ive gotten anywhere was about to chase a 100 percent deposit bonus from some broker i couldnt even find a license for. dodged that one thanks to you all.
