What I have noticed in myself After a positive run, like two weeks in a row, like the one I had a few weeks back, where I smashed 9 trades (6W, 1BE, 2L) netting me +7.57R, I inevitably start a losing streak. Since that week I had 8 trades (1W, 1BE, 6L) netting me -4.54R. It looks like this...

30 March - 3 April 2026 = -2.49R (5 trades) - Balance $98,015 -1.03R +1.62R -0.52R and -0.69R - Executed on the wrong pair to the one I done my analysis on - albeit highly correlated. Rookie error. Then entered on the correct pair, but both positions started going quickly against me, I had...

23 - 27 March 2026 = -2.05R (3 trades) - Balance $99,261 -1.00R -0.98R -0.07R (BE)

16 - 20 March 2026 = +2.50R (6 trades) - Balance $100,287 +0.18R (BE-ish) - opened trade on 13th closed on 18th March -1.04R +1.22R -1.02R +1.50R +1.67R This is the week corresponding to the above results, where I got my Account 1 Phase 2 back into profitville, and passed Account 2 Phase 1.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just passed Acc 2, phase 1. Started the account from 20/10/2025 Was day trading, got nowhere. Switched to Swing Trading again from 10/2/2026 Here are the stats for the phase 1 I just passed from ALL HISTORY (both Day trading and Swing Trading)...

Currently accounts look like this. Verification is the 2nd phase account, this is my master account. FTMO challenge account is in 1st phase, this is where I copy all my master account trades, I simply use 1% risk on each trade here. Yesterday (LHS) and today (RHS), I took another trade hence a...

9 - 13 March 2026 = +5.06R (5 trades) - Balance $99,036 +1.01R +2.02R +2.03R Nothing but Green baby yeah! 💪 💪💪 2 Reversal Trades and one Market Structure Shift trade. I still have 1 more trade running from Friday...

2 - 6 March 2026 = -0.02R (5 trades) - Balance $96,504 +1.00R - I got very lucky on this. I accidentally had this at 1% risk of the account, silly calculator error, fortunately it worked out. -1.04R +1.02R -0.11R (BE) -0.90R Been risking only 0.50% per trade apart from the first trade this...

23 - 27 Feb 2026 = -2.77R (4 trades) - Balance $96,057 -1.01R 0.02R (BE) -0.92R -0.82R Just trying to stick to the plan.

Current watchlist is 10 pairs - will keep this till end of March 2026. Only a handful (1-3 charts) look interesting at any given week.

16 - 20 Feb 2026 = -1.98R (2 trades) - Balance $97,094 -1.08R -0.89R Two stabs at the same setups, did not work. It happens. Trying to pick the highest prob setups from Daily and H4 areas.

9 - 13 Feb 2026 = +5.73R (3 trades) - Balance $97,922 +2.02R +2R +1.71R *** Nothing but green baby !!! *** Here is one of the beautiful trades below: Could have squeezed more out of this, but my aim is to get a high prob move, not the whole move.

Since changing back to Higher Time Frames (HTF), I can honestly say mentally doing much better. I believe this is much more sustainable if you have a full time job. My first week back to transitioning to HTF. 2 - 6 Feb 2026 = -1.05R (3 trades) - Balance $95,918 +1.01R (this ended up going...

Update - Raw I've been going hard at intra day trading for almost half a year now. It's profitable, absolutely. Unfortunately, I do not believe I have anything left in the tank to trade at the same time while I work anymore I feel. Going from meeting to meeting, with reports, emails, calls...
