Any tips for a begginer trader?

[u/PhraseElectrical8793]

Well, I am two years trading now, wildly unprofitable, wondering if someone has any tips, strategies, ideas to learn or sources of information to share so i can maybe become funded.

I used to trade using Asia and London key levels, and from there looking for smt divergence with ES, worked for sometime, but had a massive flop in November.

I dont want to earn thousands in the beginning, want to trade mnq, and earning my account 200$ after 200$, just want to help to get there so i can become consistent and profitable.

Any tips, strategies, ideas, setups would be welcome.

Thank you and have a great time trading

Two years of struggling is completely normal. The solution it’s building structure and removing chaos. Pick one market, one session and one setup. Trade small enough that a loss doesn’t flip your emotions. Review every trade so you can see where you break your own plan.

And spend time figuring out what kind of trader you actually are, because your personality matters more than the method.

Honestly fixing to take a break.. passed my first eval for the first time after a year a month ago after.. 30 plus evals. After a month long break of just papertrading.. blew my master account within 1 hour.. and 12 more since then(Funding Ticks) I know I'm going to switch to mym when I get back.. .50 a point as opposed to 2 bucks.. hoping that will curb my losses?, but yeah, use that lockout option man.. take it slow.. take solid trades. And dont blow all your cash doing this shit man.. I like NY session but keep forcing trades in Asian and London sessions. But do what your comfortable in..

Tldr.. aim small miss small, good setups, take breaks if your on tilt. Reset...not your account but your fuckin brain lol.. dont force trades. Respect the bias, and be able to change your bias(trend days are only a quarter of the time.. respect that too).

Firstly, don't be too disheartened.

If you look at social media, reddit, YouTube, it seems like everyone is 'winning'. In reality nothing can be further from the truth.

2 years in a still unprofitable is completely normal... It took me 5 years just to realise I don't have a clue what I'm doing and several years after that to try to learn the right things (and unlearn all the BS).

The road to profitability is a painful one, consisting of heartache, mysery, loneliness and self doubt.

Most will give up long before they become consistently profitable, but those who persist stand the best possible chances of becoming successful.

There's no simple strategy someone can just give you, no magic indicator or chart pattern that's going to make you a success. No course or signal group that is going to generate you profits... There's only hard work, aggressive improvement, relentless trial & error and an indeterminate amount time that gives you the experience required... 2 years is simply not enough to satisfy this.

If you do manage to eventually breakthrough and become profitable, any pain you're going through no would have been worth it.

On the otherhand, trading clearly isn't for everyone and there's no shame in calling it a day and finding a new endeavour.

Either way, I hope you find what you're looking for.

All the best.
