Sharing my frustrating day for 2 purposes. One is i would welcome any feedback, and the second is to show others that are still learning and getting frustrated that this is part of the process. Even though I want to be a super star, the reality is I have a lot to practice still. I took two loses on ES today and one on Crude oil at the end of the day. May be I am trying to force a trade that isn't there. Or i could have just had a bad day. In the end it was frustrating. I'm just glad i'm still doing paper trading at the moment. Tomorrow is another day! Let's GO After looking at some of my 1 hour blocks I feel that I overlooked some stuff, I am going to try to set up my 1 hour Institutional Supply/Demand on Replay 2 weeks prior before trading for the day. I feel i will be more accurate. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

I next to never post anything, but thought I would share my thoughts/story in the hopes it would encourage someone. I started working on qualifying EA's in December of 2023 after a STELLAR November of paper trading. December did not turn out well. January was full of the Holiday still, an after New Years onslaught of business, and ended with covid that lasted until the third week of February. March thru April was filled with a whole bunch of ALMOST, coming within $500 of getting it done. May was helping ailing parents and taking a break from trading. End of May I started working with an athletic mental performance coach (I am 59 BTW) which easily translates to trading. As of yesterday, I qualified 5 EAs for 250G and had my single best week of option trading generating 102G. Point is, NEVER give up! You just don't know how close you really are from achieving your goals. I have failed at numerous businesses over my lifetime, but all those failures have lead me to build two 7-figure a year businesses in my lifetime. As I transition into another stage of life, I was looking for a time freedom and location freedom BUSINESS that required zero employees and trading is definitely it! So, for those of you that may be feeling frustrated, turn that energy into discipline, motivation, and persistence! You are closer than you think!
