It’s been a rough ride these past nine trading days. I haven’t been blogging my daily trades because I blew up my account. Well, technically, I didn’t blow it out entirely, but I did exceed my Max Daily Loss limit of 5% of my equity. During this time, I was day trading using an FTMO Free Trial account to practice with their key rules on risk management and emotional control. Unfortunately, I let greed take over. I was on a winning streak and decided to push my luck, which ate up all my gains for the week. I never seem to learn, do I?

Today was a good day! I made a profit of 1.41% by employing my scalping strategy. As you know, day trading can be intense, but the right tools and platforms can make all the difference. Let’s dive into some of the best tools and platforms that can enhance your day trading experience and improve your success rate.

Today, I made a profit of 2.59% by employing a scalping strategy, my preferred trading style. I focus on quick in and out trades, aiming for a 1% gain per trade. If I reach it or more in one trade, I stop trading. Conversely, if I lose 1%, I also stop and come back the next day. I also use breakout trading, adding another layer to my approach.

Let me share my last Friday trade with you. I managed to snag a 0.15% gain with just one trade. Unfortunately, I was so exhausted from work that I forgot to screenshot the profit percentage result. But hey, a gain is a gain, right?
