Finally trading my PROP FIRM FUNDED accountE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!Jesus2K24I normally don't trade during this session. But I activated my funded account today and just wanted to CHECK what price was doing on NQ and saw a great setup. Although I got in early on the first trade, I re-entered understanding that my analysis was NOT wrong, and I remained humbled and saw the BULL FLAG that was created on the 1 min. Before this trade, I had already done a top-down analysis and seen the direction price was going, and initially it was bearish, but price hit some important resistance zones, and I saw it respect them, and I went for a little 1:3RR. DISCLAIMER—I DO NOT, WILL NOT, AND WILL NEVER TRADE A 1:1 RISK/RATIO. I DON'T THINK THAT IS SMART; I RISK A SMALL AMOUNT AND GO FOR A SAFE 1:3 RR, AND IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME LIKE THAT. EX: IN THIS TRADE I RISKED 6.25 POINTS, AND MY TAKE PROFIT WAS 22.00 POINTS. I TRADED 1 CONTRACT. THIS IS THE MATH FOR THAT: 6.25 POINTS X $20 (1 CONTRACT PER POINT) = $125 STOP LOSS 22.00 POINTS X $20 (1 CONTRACT PER POINT) = $440 TAKE PROFIT ^^^^^^^^^^ THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN YOUR NORMAL TRADER TRADING A 1:1 RR. ^^^^^^^^^^ If you were trading a 1:1 RR, you would have only taken home $125; something is better than nothing, but to me, it doesn't make sense, and my psychology remains humble during the trade.
