Scalps last 5 to 30 minutes

You have to be OK with missing trades
Wakes up just before open, lets dust settle, then looks for plays with volume
Works out, stays active, all routines he follows
TradeIdeas is essential, a huge tool
Use ThinkOrSwim's scanner if you can't afford TradeIdeas
Real edge is being discussed on Twitter if you filter out nonsense
Not a rigid weekly or monthly "mistake tracking" session now, but he still looks over things
He finds a tilt trade or two and will force self memorize the chart of worst trades
Writing things down helped him a lot
2022 2023 wrote a lot on daytrading subreddit
He is a long only discretionary scalper
Always have a max loss... 20-30 average green day number, double or triple it = max loss
Could only lose 2 or 3 ave green days before locking self out, used self control to stop trading
Trusts his mental stops
Red day meant half size the next day
A drawdown feels like the world is ending
Size down and take it slow
Does NOT have a broker max loss
Fear and shame keeps him from disrespecting his max loss
Need to address underlying issues if you need broker max loss
Sizing up he has written about on Reddit
Sizing up is very individual... has to do with your mind/subconscious
You will naturally get more comfortable in small steps
Sizing should not be robotic, you have to feel good emotionally, risk your "profits"
His greatest strength is patience
Best advice: start small!
You should quit trading if you are considering quitting, quit and reset
Trading IS a get rich quick scheme
Don't get grass is greener syndrome
He is staying the course
Don't DM him, DMs are flooded with bots now, just message him on Twitter
