Justin,
Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time with the Trend catcher system. I hate to state the obvious here man but stop the bleeding, don’t trade live until you figure this out. Second thing is pick one market, learn everything you can using the system you want to use on that market until you are consistently profitable and then add another, I don’t doubt your ability to multi-task on multiple markets, but if you are not profitable, a little focus is in order.
Are you trading futures, binaries, spreads? Just looking at some of the bar sizes you are using, you might want to make adjustments there first. For example, if you are trading the indices (NQ, TF, ES, YM) for TC on binaries, most people use a 6 tick diagnostic bar and trade the 20 minute contracts and have had great success with it. If you are trading spreads 12 tick dx bars were often used and you either scalped or trend traded trailing with the MVP depending on what your chart was showing you.
Go back look at your trades mark up some charts and post them here in the forum so that we can see what you are seeing and help you. Without that, there is really no way we can see what it is that you are doing that is causing your struggles.
Set a daily profit/loss goal and when you hit it, stop trading. Darrell has some great risk management posts in the forum talking about the 5% rule study that one and implement what he talks about in it, trust me it will help you if you follow it. If you set a 5% daily profit goal based on your account size, you could double your account in a month. Make a plan and stick to it the alternative is blowing up your account.
I can’t stress enough the importance of not placing another live trade until you are consistently profitable in demo. It’s the only way for you to know if you truly are ready. Demo is the cheapest education you can get.
Ask questions, post your charts here and any one of us that has been in your shoes, and we all have, will be more than happy to get you back on the path to success.
Good luck,
Peter.
