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:
