Two days, not great

Symptoms of why my trading is not winning. Seem like I’m just taking too many trades and going too hard again.

Leverage / inconsistent over-leverage. I will go broke if I don’t fix this.

I want my $650 to last until I become a steady winner. So I need to absolutely nail down leverage. Which means:

2 entry MAX until 1k (4 micros total only if trade had gone 3pts+ in my favor). Breakeven -> 15 to 45 minutes to 3 hours.

Cycle of getting in early -> underwater -> see the trade I’d want to take. But sometimes you are wrong. So then your stuck big, and maybe adding to get out.

Not enough patience. Ideally I want to target swings/legs. If you look at time today, that’s holding a trade early for 15 minutes, towards 9am — 11am (45 minutes), after 11am (1hr — 3hrs), right before close 30minutes.
