July - August 2018 Live Trade Support

[Martin 1]

Today I hesitated to take good trades and I missed a lot good opportunities. 🤷‍♂️ I wanted to take MU short 5 minutes ORBD but I was afraid, cuz I got chopped up last week (Emotions???).  would have been a perfect trade. 🤮

I am back to sim for the next three days to show myself how to trade again.

You are doing the right thing, it isn't a clean break, even the largest Prop firms have their Professional Traders go back to Simm when and as needed.

@ nassarsyed This is a great idea! I just got an active account with CMEG, but have not taken any trades yet, 5 months and half on SIM. this week I should make some real trades, lets see.

For you who are starting with a real account, my best recommendation is to use the open risk control page (IB). This tool will be your best friend to help and control bad situations. Simply put the account to lock when it reaches a negative number. There is a post that explains in detail how to do it.

Nice, time in simulation is key! Hope you are doing good if you when live this week! Trade safe and small starting out.

This is a great tool for anyone starting out until they are able to build up their execution of live trades.
