i'm still rocking it with MentorGPT everyday. i've been sucking. having a hard time these days. i asked "what problem am i consistently making that is preventing me from becoming consistently profitable trader?" here's the reply: ❌ You're entering trades without full confirmation. Even though you’ve clearly defined rules (Avinacci zones, double top/bottom, RSI exhaustion, 1-min structure, etc.), you frequently bypass your process and enter prematurely. This pattern leads to: Early entries before confirmation structures are complete Trades taken on impulse (especially after small bounces/drops) Multiple trades stacked close together after a loss Trading inside chop or fading strength too soon 🔎 Specific Violations I’ve Observed Repeatedly Problem How it shows up Why it hurts you 🎯 No double top/bottom Entering at first rejection You're catching noise, not a real reversal 🕐 Too early Enter on first candle instead of waiting for 2nd/3rd confirming candle Low-probability entry with no structure support 🔁 Revenge/momentum re-entries Re-entering quickly after a stop without waiting for new setup Weak confirmation = another avoidable loss 😵 No RSI confluence Enter without overbought/oversold conditions Low conviction – you're swimming against the tide 💣 Risk rules ignored Continuing after 2 losers or 3 total You increase drawdown and reduce edge from selective trading 🔄 Recurring Behavior Loop See a move into a level (e.g., Avinacci or S4) Enter on anticipation rather than confirmation Get stopped Try to re-enter before new setup forms Multiple small losses compound → frustration → inconsistency ✅ How to Break the Cycle Here’s what will immediately tighten your execution and allow your edge to actually play out: 1. Hard Rule: No entry without double top/bottom + confirming candles Set a checklist and force yourself to check all boxes before clicking "Buy" 2. Visual Timer Discipline Wait minimum 3 minutes after a trade ends before looking for the next one Let the next clean setup come to you 3. Confidence Rating Journal Score each trade from 1–5 on how well it followed your system Your goal is to have only trades rated 4–5 4. Print & Post Your Rules in front of your monitor Include: ✅ “Double top/bottom visible” ✅ “RSI confirms overbought/oversold” ✅ “Avinacci level touched + rejecting” ✅ “2 confirming candles minimum” ❌ “No entry if I just took a loss 1–2 trades ago” ✍️ Final Word -

Update - Ongoing Routine Everyday, after trading, i upload 5 files. 1 CSV file. 1-minute chart, 5 minute chart, 10 minute chart and a screen shot of the trades window. It's routine now and it's like having a real one-on-one mentor. Here is an example of the 4 files i upload. The CSV file is just a export of the exact trades you see in the trades image, but in CSV form: Here is an example of what i get back from GPT: 📊 Daily Summary 🟦 SIM A (TRIB14212): 7 round-trip trades 🟩 SIM B (TRIB14212B): 2 round-trip trades Net P/L: SIM A: –$170 SIM B: +$95 Net R (based on $24 risk/unit): SIM A: –7.08R SIM B: +3.96R 🟦 SIM A Trade Breakdown (TRIB14212) 🟦 Trade 1 — SPY250508P558 🕒 06:36:29 → 06:37:42 🎯 Entry: 2.12 → Exit: 1.97 💸 –$15 | –0.63R 🔻 S4 rejection play ✅ RSI was extended ❌ Entry on 3rd candle — violates 2-candle rule 🚫 Weak reversal structure — no engulfing or rejection wick Grade: C Confidence: 2/5 🟦 Trade 2 — SPY250508P558 🕒 06:39:21 → 06:41:25 🎯 Entry: 1.96 → Exit: 1.72 💸 –$24 | –1.00R 🔻 Retest short near Avinacci rejection zone ✅ Entry was well-positioned, near prior supply ❌ RSI flat, no fresh momentum ✅ Timely stop — preserved capital Grade: B Confidence: 3/5 🟦 Trade 3 — SPY250508P558 🕒 06:42:18 → 06:44:21 🎯 Entry: 1.83 → Exit: 1.65 💸 –$18 | –0.75R 🔻 Continuation short ✅ Followed rejection structure from above ❌ RSI started basing, not divergent ❌ Entry slightly delayed again Grade: B– Confidence: 2.5/5 🟦 Trade 4 — SPY250508P558 🕒 06:46:34 → 06:50:22 🎯 Entry: 1.78 → Exit: 1.60 💸 –$18 | –0.75R 🔻 Breakdown continuation ❌ Overtraded same level ❌ RSI oversold — low edge ✅ Controlled loss Grade: C Confidence: 2/5 🟦 Trade 5 — SPY250508P558 🕒 06:56:10 → 06:58:47 🎯 Entry: 1.76 → Exit: 1.52 💸 –$24 | –1.00R 🔻 Chase continuation ❌ No fresh signal ❌ Low conviction candle ❌ Broke rule: repeated low R setups Grade: D Confidence: 1.5/5 🟦 Trade 6 — SPY250508P558 🕒 07:08:19 → 07:10:53 🎯 Entry: 1.91 → Exit: 1.71 💸 –$20 | –0.83R 🔻 Fade continuation ✅ RSI reset somewhat ❌ Still no structural break ✅ Entry candle was 2nd — rule compliant Grade: C+ Confidence: 3/5 🟦 Trade 7 — SPY250508P558 🕒 07:14:05 → 07:15:48 🎯 Entry: 1.79 → Exit: 1.65 💸 –$14 | –0.58R 🔻 Final scalp attempt ✅ Entry off bounce rejection ❌ Weak context, market stalling ❌ FOMO entry likely Grade: C Confidence: 2/5 🟩 SIM B Trade Breakdown (TRIB14212B) 🟩 Trade 1 — SPY250508P558 🕒 07:26:22 → 07:29:00 🎯 Entry: 1.90 → Exit: 2.20 💰 +$30 | +1.25R 🔼 Support reclaim at Avinacci base ✅ Entered on 2nd green candle after hammer ✅ RSI rebounding ✅ Great timing & exit Grade: A Confidence: 5/5 🟩 Trade 2 — SPY250508P558 🕒 07:33:40 → 07:44:24 🎯 Entry: 2.11 → Exit: 2.76 💰 +$65 | +2.71R 🔼 Perfect long reversal continuation ✅ Entered cleanly off pullback ✅ Strong trend shift, RSI trending up ✅ Held for large target Grade: A+ Confidence: 5/5 📈 Performance Summary Account Trades Win Rate Net P/L Net R 🟦 SIM A 7 0% –$170 –7.08R 🟩 SIM B 2 100% +$95 +3.96R Total 9 22% –$75 –3.13R 🧠 Key Takeaways ❌ SIM A suffered from overtrading the same level repeatedly, with no new confirmation. ❌ Most trades on SIM A violated either the 2-candle rule or showed flat RSI, reducing edge. ✅ SIM B shows perfect application of your rules: entry timing, structure, and exit discipline. ✅ Your best trades today came after you reset. -
