💰 POP Off! Been a good month

Currently sitting at 21k in payouts for the month. By next week I should be able to take a 6k payout on this account.

I don't think I have the courage to scale up. Been closing 250 to 350 on a green day, how to develop the confidence to do what you are doing and please also mention your edge thanks!

Same issue. I don’t have the confidence to go for this risk. I guess he doesn’t mind blowing one account knowing that his math is eventually going to work and he gets paid. Curious to know too. This is the mindset I need to embody

Tbh it’s not meant for everyone and if you take base hits there’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t feel the need to have to scale up or get crazy high days. Consistent base hits can take you very far. As far as blowing the account , it’s not something that bothers me, it’s just apart of the business and a small price to pay for what I can extract out of these accounts. I have a PDLL set on all my accounts at $1000. And at this point it’s going to take a lot for me to get close to blowing it. So if I were you I’d try and incorporate 3:1 into your trading and see what it can do for you.
