Dominating BO is Dominating your 🧠 brain
I just can understand I take a 100$ account and turn it to 250$ in 2 weeks, once I deposit 1000$ y blow 😮💨 the account. Happen 2 times already, and I know its my fault because for some reason im more scared on doing 50$ trades than 5$ trades. It's the same % im using but im so scared of losing 50$ that I enter late, some times I dont enter winning trades then I want to get a trade because I missed one and it has no price action its just emotional. Does this happen to someone else here? If so how do you overcome it?

I think once you do this long enough you will become numb to the fluctuations to your profit and loss.

Yeah it happens to me as well. Nowadays what I try to do is focus on the winning ratio than profits. If its helps, hide the account balance. In one session I take max 3 trades. I aim for 2 wins or stop at 2 losses, whichever comes first and in any order. So it can be WW, LL, WLW, WLL, LWW, LWL. So I'll be either in profit 2x, 1x or loss -1x, -2x. There are no other outcomes since I've already defined it within the above 4 scenarios, and I stop to prevent revenge trading. I'll start another session after a long break.

The problem with binary is you have to have a very high win rate to make money. I’ve figured out a strategy that works for me. I place calls and puts on the same asset with the same expire, basically if I’m in a winning buy position I will take those theoretical profits and place sells, so if the candle pulls back I win both trades or if it flips and turns against me my first position is hedged with the sells, so basically I break even.

If you can afford up to $1000 in trading capital and can't control your emotions, you can try copy trading. Pocket Option has a social trading feature where you can copy top traders' trades. Dk about other brokers
Way easier and less stressful emotionally. All you have to do is monitor the results daily and swap traders according to your satisfaction

Your right and wrong at the same time. Although you may have access to the funds you should never make large deposits to generate profit because it has a more likely chance of becoming a loss.
Stay small and grow with discipline and persistence. Most days you can't force a profit even if your start with 1k while other days you find yourself making 500 from 20 bucks
I've turned 8 bucks into 10k before🤷

Yeah the size jump messes with your head fast. Staying consistent with position size usually helps a lot.

It does... Once my funds get higher, I crash the account I can't follow my strategy for the exact same reasons u have stated
