One week ago, I cleared my first futures funded account, but overconfidence led me to overtrade and take a -$610 loss on Day 1.
I stopped revenge trading, went back to my plan, and followed my rules with discipline.
Today, I cleared another 25K evaluation account —
#Lucid

@XRP2TheMoon_ @Fuhuiceo @NickDoesFutures Okay, if you want to, send me a DM and we can talk more about it, I actually built a tool exactly for this
English

@_danieldag @Fuhuiceo @NickDoesFutures The idea that red is never good. So I stay in trades longer than I should and attempt to recoup losses immediately opposed to cutting losses and quitting for the day.

Nice, check your DMs for another free Lucid Trading 50k eval 😼

@cj_wawa Me i got my first eval with the BiG WAWA
English

@XRP2TheMoon_ @Fuhuiceo @NickDoesFutures what is your typical trigger that leads you to start overtrading?
English

@Fuhuiceo @NickDoesFutures No, so I do the lucidflex 50k account. My first attempt, I was $1700/3000 profit target but I overtraded and chased a bad trade which ultimately blew my account. My 2nd attempt, I was $2900 in profit but my consistency breached the eval requirements (over trading again).

Review of the week
Part 2 👇👇
Thursday
London:
Took off a position early that in hindsight did not hit my stop loss but a 15 min bearish swing and bearish CISD let me to cut the trade early. In all honesty looking at price i don’t think cutting it was a mistake. Price wasnt looking strong and getting out for like a third of the stop loss is totally fine.
The big part is me getting back in after price showed me i was indeed onside. Figuring out a way to get back in to the trade without chasing.
My external target got hit and i would not have been stopped out BE if i held my original long. BUT: “Not being greedy and accepting that the best entry is gone, or the move is likely over, has been one of the most critical factors generating me great results over the last couple of months.”
NY:
Minor mistake, got stopped BE on a simple retracement. No point for me to place my stop loss BE there.
→ This did not happen a lot this week which is a great improvement.
Stopped out on a setup which i thought i was surely on side. Price simply took out early longs, no mistake there, should always take that setup. Glad i didn’t switch up my bias too soon and get scared to take longs.
Thoughts during the session:
“If you switch your bias too soon you will get chopped up and you will end up chasing the move towards your original DOL”
Friday
London:
Minor mistake, wanted longs during 2AM eventhough i didn’t get the sweep of 1AM low which was my original plan. Good thing is i didn’t trade my funded accounts during that time. Only when 3AM swept 2AM to get in to the best long setup of london session. I just didn’t want to miss the move if it happened during 2AM thats why i traded evals to reduce risk.
→ Not ideal, but at least i didn’t trade any funded accounts.
Could have held the longs for longer as well as the speed and lack of retracements were telling me that bullish orderflow was present. I just took the safer option and TP’d earlier.
NY:
Was in longs before 9:30, should at least take profit if possible or highly consider Taking position off if in decent profit. I did ask myself if i would be annoyed giving back 320$, which was also with a 100$ risk a 1:3RR position already. But i decided to wait for a potential instant move higher towards the EQ highs left during pre-market. It was a set decision so happy about that. The potential payoff was more than a 1000$ profit target and which a DOL so clear i decided to take the gamble (did go BE so risk free).
Participated in longs after the sellside sweep towards my original DOL, did feel i was a bit anxious about giving back profit so did not bother putting on a decent size of risk or holding for longer, took profits early to conserve capital.
→ This is okay imo as in the past i would have revenge traded if i would lose profits made throughout the week just to not end red on a friday.
Overall great week, only some minor mistakes on which i keep improving. Best of all my patience is almost getting on a level where i can skip a whole session not even participating in it. Excited to see what next week will bring, lets get it babyyy

Day 9 of Eval Jail — it’s over.
Managed to pass the stack today.
After what feels like forever, it’s good to finally see the green button again.
I’ll be honest, it wasn’t my cleanest day of executions. I knew I only needed a couple hundred dollars to get over the line, so I took a few stabs at it.
The trade that got it done was the 10:50 long into London high.
Macro time.
Huge displacement candle.
15m gap respected.
Nothing spectacular, but the job got done.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Let’s run it up next week.

@CryptoAnna17 @TradingLucid @fnfutures @Alpha_Futures_ yeah I get that, mind if I dm you? I built something around this that might help
English

@_danieldag @TradingLucid @fnfutures @Alpha_Futures_ I think I was tired what causes lack of focus in my case...the volatility was crazy on Friday...I should stay away...when you are mentally tired you stop analysing,,,

@Benjamin_SMC followed the process at least which is what matters

@elevate_trade @DiegoBTrades Have you tried enforcing your rules so that you can't blow up in 1 day? Hard rules?
English

@_danieldag @DiegoBTrades Not patient enough to deal with 1k drawdown.
English

Finally built my buffer trading 1 micro max 2 its taken 6 weeks i know its not the cool huge payout or flashy pnl but super proud if I can do it on 1 micro why can't i do it on more will slowly keep building adding more accounts and more consistency my patience on these accounts has been tremendous just gotta keep it up

English

@tamyok_trader mind if I dm you? I built something for this that I think would help you
English

@_danieldag the only thing I've tried is a DLL but sometimes it makes me tilt as well, just need to be more disciplined. easier said than done tho ig
English

blew my account. today was one of those days I actually didnt wanna trade as I didn't get a lot of sleep, but it's hardest to stay discplined on days like this where i'm too tired to stay vigilant. couple that with boredom and wanting to do a single trade it turns to many. haven't had a day like this in a while
i know i was tilted tho bc i traded right out of the gate for ETH. i think i also became careless after passing the trailing drawdown
we try again
i tried to short again ofc and then at the top i go for a long haha i gave up and tried joinng the party, just too impatient
Payouts since May after locking TF in: $25K

Funded Account - Day 17❌
I messed up and blew up the account.
That’s exactly what happens when you break your own rules.
Invested: $49 (Topstep Combine) + $149 (Activation) = $198
Payout received: $420
Total time: 35 days
Final balance: +$222 Solid ROI (112% return)… but man, lesson learned the hard way.
Back to the drawing board.

i built a trading diagnostic with Claude.
not a 40-page pdf.
not a funnel with a course at the end.
not a discord invite.
one page that asks, then reads you back.
it's free: app.tradeguard.co/7percent
here's what's inside:
→ 5 questions. behavior only, no strategy talk
→ it finds which of the 3 account killers is yours: the revenge trade, the loss-limit breach, or the overtrade
then it builds your guide:
→ why your brain does it
→ what it looks like while it's happening, so you can catch it live
→ your actionables, starting today
i called it the 7% report. one study tracked 300,000 prop accounts. about 7% of the traders behind them ever took a payout. the rest paid for a challenge and never saw one.
no team.
no funding.
just me and Claude
every trader has a breaking point.
most find out which one is theirs the expensive way.
this takes five questions.
app.tradeguard.co/7percent
free.
either you find your breaking point, or it finds you.
