Losing Confidence and Struggling with Discipline
Hi everyone, I’m Rufi, an ICT trader. I started learning about a year ago, completing the 2022 Mentorship, 3 months of Core Concepts, and some of the Primer Course. I traded the 5-min timeframe focusing on the unicorn entry with higher TF context, but it didn’t fit me, so I switched to the 1-min timeframe. Since Sept 2024, I’ve been profitable as a beginner and even passed a funded account. However, since Jan, my profitability has dropped. I’ve been breaking my own rules: overtrading, overleveraging, and taking more than 2 trades a day. This has wrecked my confidence after months of discipline and success. Now, even in valid trades, one candle against me makes me panic and close early. I'm in drawdown, and my psychology is getting worse daily. I’ve decided to step away from charts for 7-10 days to avoid blowing my account. I’m posting here hoping for advice from experienced ICT traders who’ve faced similar struggles. Is this part of the learning process? Do I just need more experience, or is this a tough market month? Any guidance or support would mean a lot. Thank you in advance!3
