There’s really not much to say again, you’ve said it all

Really nice take from you, I love the part where you referenced about muscle memory

If a profitable trader stops trading for a really long time let’s say 2 years and he suddenly starts trading again, his win rate will reduce because he will make some mistakes which could have been avoided if only he still has the muscle memory

So I completely agree with you

It happened to me a couple years back, i traded the same scalping strategy for weeks and I became very good at it, it was like I always knew the exact point where matket will reverse from lol 😅

Used to flip small accounts back then
Yes, exactly, time to time market goes in every move like you think and at these times thanks you will scale your profit thanks to this strategy.
Because first of all, it will downcrease the risk, second it will still allow you to risk more and it will lock at least some part of the profit.

So it is win : win.
Most powerfull in forex scalping is when you scale you account in fast way, because everything goes well.

Yeah, I somewhat agree with that, one still needs to manage risk even though market is in ones favour but one should also make use of times like his to make sharp profit

There no much harm in taking a gamble right😁😎
Yes i agree with you :-)

I found out, that for me was best option to cool my head time to time withdraw, because i still can make really nice profit and i have something home.
Sometimes i do it like that i withdraw only 20-30 percent from dayli profit. So i will not even notice, no harm and part of energy comes home.

This is a really nice money management plan, will go and withdraw my profits now and leave capital running

Did 350% this week so I’m withdrawing the profits 😁
Wow sounds good :-) Share some of your trades with us ;-)
No problem, I’m currently on this but when I see new ones I will send
I got it, this one looks really good.
But honestly im not able to wait for so long time and really offen to have stop loss thanks to small risk.

It’s always best to enjoy one’s profit

Withdrawing some profits can never go wrong

Exactly :-)

What do you like to buy for yourself from profits?
Preserve your own money. Scale with the market's money. Exponential growth is the ultimate key.

For now nothing, since it’s not enough to cover my daily needs

Once I scale up and make bigger profits, I will get clothes shoes and look good then change my phone, then I start saving for house rent so I can move into my own apartment

For now where I don’t live alone I would say around 20$ a day is not bad

What about you?

At my place, if you live alone 100$ a day is ok.
For luxury you need like 500$ a day.

If you will have family, its another story :D

That is the durable point in a very long, wandering thread — reps in one style beat tourism across ten.

I scalp London with a short written playbook and I have kept the same spine for years: session fence, shortlist, grade, hard invalidation. SMC, indicators, or price action labels matter less than whether you have enough clean repetitions to know your own failure modes. Jumping every time a forum week gets exciting resets the sample to zero.

Practical advice from this old strategies dump: pick the approach that matches your attention and costs, put the reps in, and measure. Withdrawal habits and lifestyle chat are separate from method. Method is what you can execute on a quiet Tuesday without a new guru.

One profitable strategy: the one you have actually practised. Everything else is browsing.

I can’t really say much about this since I’m not really a session trader, as I said in my last post, session trading is not repeatable, price will not always print the same pattern every London session so having a strategy to only trade London sessions is not exactly what I would do
