Brooks Trading Course social media communities
I have been a student of Al Brooks for a year now. Just in the last 4 months I have become consistently profitable, and even became a funded trader at the start of august. My question, and current struggle, is scaling my account and being more aggressive on days I am confident I can make money which are most days now. I find myself always not being too sure especially on the open (which I know is the "fog" all traders live in), and I take the setup with 1 or 2 micros because I am more comfortable. Then when I make my 20 points on the trade (MES) I am always disappointed I didn't use a bigger position size. Most days I am making 2-3 20-point swings and only ending the day up a couple hundred dollars due to my position size. I think most of my struggle are psychology at this point. What are some tips and things I can actively do to overcome this and start to make more money now that I am consistently profitable? I am having a problem with getting out of my comfort zone, the "I don't care size", and being more aggressive. Thanks!

Congrats on your current success! Try running numbers on spreadsheet to see what X lots will give by X points. (e.g. 10 points x 10 mini per day $1.2M/yr 😉 )
With micros you'll see how fast consistency will allow you to scale up so there is no rush. Maybe add a micro per day or week until you feel a change in psychology/trading and then back up if needed.
Thank you everyone for your very insightful replies! They have helped a lot and I have some new things to think about and study. I hope you all the best, this community is amazing.
