While reading this I wondered if you ever considered ditching scalping altogether and focusing on swing/position trading? You’ve recognised the damaging nature of your current approach and have laid it out really well but what did you do to explore other means, if any, of achieving the same trading goals?
Reason I’m asking this because I’m working on my own “fire and forget” approach and I was able to find atleast one other member on BP who was successful in achieving this approach. Here’s an interview that was done with him for context.
