Next video suggestion: Backtesting session of your go-to setup in which you cover a considerable period of time. We get to see everything: no tag days, W, break evens, L. I firmly believe that that will bring everything together for most of us. Keep up the phenomenal work! Much love from 🇬🇷

This wouldn’t benefit you. Go into the chart and put in the work backtesting yourself to develop the skill

I already know the utility of RTH and the narrative that the Opening Range Gap can provide when analysing the Daily profile, but I also know that there are not many quality videos on this topic for the people that try to search them. I follow you from a while and I think you would do it well. :)

nice but you should have made an introduction for traders to keep R-multiple stats so that in the end of the month they have the average RR and win rate so they can input their stats on a equity curve simulator and see where they are in their journey. but anyway its nice to see the correct way of aiming to become a better trader, is pushed by your channel. thank you

You said that you round down to be safe, do you also do that if the number of contracts is 1.8 or 1.9 (ignoring the fact that you would shift to micro's). If not, where do you decide to round up or down? Thanks in advance.
