Still struggle with exactly what you have been taking about lately. Short term thinking and breaking my rules. I get tunnel vision too easily after a loss. I have made big steps to improve that and am right on the cusp of breaking through with the last two months finally being decent profits but I broke my rules again today and had a bad last week so the struggle to respect myself and my trading continues.

Wanted to give back to you guys and @E8Markets is letting me run this giveaway of the PRO plans with daily payouts!! These PRO plans were limited and are actually being removed the 1st of JULY so I’m excited to be able to give you guys the opportunity to trade them. What you gotta do is - like this post - follow @E8Affiliates - follow @E8Markets - comment below what you currently struggle with the most in your trading I want to see honest and transparent answers. Love you guys hope these accounts go to people who need them most.

@MrZincx So pretty to have that buffer on all accounts. You are in great shape.

I trade to make money, pt 2. I’m a big fan of the DLL accounts with Topstep. I’ve been sizing up with the IB setup and using the DLL as a break for the day. Trading the accounts separately has helped a lot as well.

@JoshuaTrades Same it’s been a tough week. Still showing when conditions are clearly not great I am incapable of having proper discipline and respect for my strategy. I am happy I am seeing success now, but I have a long way to go.

It's been a really difficult week. I've had the wrong draw every AM session. I've also had terrible risk management all around. A lot of losing, but thankfully the accounts are still alive. Now I just need to stop hitting Topstep DLL. How's everyone else doing so far?

@champagneszn777 That has been my mechanism but still not perfect. Easy to disrespect some accounts thinking it’s okay because you have others.

I’m ngl. Having multiple accounts keeps you from overtrading on 1. Cheat code.

Started the week with such a good setup. Got too relaxed and each day this week I slowly let discipline slip more and more and got punished. Back to the basics. Need to lock in small payouts and slowly rebuild my accounts now. June still a good month if I can slow down and set up for July.

Played more aggressive and out of discipline today than I would have liked. Blew one of the 4 TPT Pro. Had small win on 2 and a nice 2k win on one. Need to accept small losses on these and not treat as full port account. Lack of discipline carried through on other accounts as well after some nice wins I found myself chasing the close and got burnt on one of my alpha fundeds. No excuse there I know better.

Adding 4 tpt 50ks to the funded stack. Glad to have another crack at daily payouts after blowing my last 2 last week.

@KayvenTrades @vedictrades Yep this lesson is hard to learn. Your system works and feels too easy sometimes and you mistakenly think the game is on easy mode and don’t respect your system or the risk of trading.

@vedictrades The frustrating part is the dumb days aren't random — they always follow a pattern. For me, it's usually after a big winner. The confidence turns into laziness, and then I don't abide by my risk management rules.

idk what’s going on. Some days I’m locking in so hard while trading that it impresses me Some days I’m making the dumbest mistakes possible. It’s a mental block.

@vedictrades It really is like nothing else where you need to be locked in the zone. Need to be calm enough to be patient and wait for your setup not chasing price and need to be focused and dialed to not be too casual where you aren’t respecting the risk. Complete balancing act.

@Toasty_Trades @TradingLucid Congrats! Let’s hold the line and grow

First $10K month. Getting moved live. Who would've thought I'd make it this far? The goal now is to keep improving and stay consistent. Huge shout out to @TradingLucid they make everything so easy.

@aw_trades_ @ApexTradeFund What is the scaling to get to 5 accounts?

we're finally starting the onboarding process for the @ApexTradeFund live program!! it's 5 accounts, each with a max drawdown of $3k... so my $150k of profit, after 1 payout, gets reduced to $3k over 5 accounts and the rest goes to a "vault" i'll be honest, it's better than just 1 account, but for a firm to market so hard for scaling with 20 accounts and getting $40k+ payouts every 8 days, only to move you live after 1 payout on the new accounts and receive only 5 small live accounts, it's pretty subpar, especially for a program that didn't even exist lol that may be a hot take but i was hoping for a much better live program than this. oh well, it's still decent and ill be excited to trade them so no hate from me just being critical as i always am with any firm their full faq on live is below, let me know what you think!! apextraderfunding.com/help-center/ge…

@FuturesFarming @Alpha_Futures_ Still waiting on approval from Friday request. Hopefully they getting through them now

Payout all approved on @Alpha_Futures_ 40,500 to bank after profit split. I tried to get a profit day in after i got the email, but lost 3300 per account. On to tomorrow.

@edmistonjosh @FuturesFarming @Alpha_Futures_ @Tradeify @bulenoxofficial He’s certainly not doing as much affiliate as he could so if that’s his game he could be better. I would love to see his stats for May and June and how he tracks everything. It’s a unique and crazy approach that I don’t expect most to understand but is fascinating.

@AncientRipple @FuturesFarming @Alpha_Futures_ @Tradeify @bulenoxofficial lol bros a degenerate affiliate gambler he ain’t ever being moved to live

Meh day in terms of discipline today. Didn’t trade @Alpha_Futures_ while I await 45k payout to be removed. 20k payout got removed from @Tradeify this am, made 4400 on those accounts so I just need four profit days for another 20k. @bulenoxofficial counts today and Friday as one day, so I didn’t trade them. Did day 2 on @fnfutures evals. Blew the @TradeDayFunding evals and reset for day one. Biggest fumble was @TakeProfitLLC I was up 7500 on new accounts and didn’t stop. Blew them, reset twice (15k cost) and made 10k each on last round. So I request 20k after split. Terrible discipline, but made out with 5k profit on the day after resets Hope everyone did well.

Good trading day today, but overshadowed by breaking rules last night being dumb. The itch of having an account close to payout and wanting to secure it is a hard lesson to have to learn through experience. I need to be able to sit in that discomfort and wait for the best setup. I failed that task again and hope the lesson is learned. Up 2.3k on Topstep 50k with 4/5 days complete and I took a gamble trade during Asia on a Sunday. It’s not my rules not my setup and no logic tells me to do this. Pure disrespect. Lesson learned let’s set up another chance to prove that we have learned it later this week.

Finally seeing some results after a slow start to the year. The Good: My understanding of the market is at a new level. I have a framework of the market that is ingrained and intuitive to me. I have a strategy that feels my own and I can execute with confidence. The Bad: I am far from trading like the professional I want to become. June's goal after a solid may was to control expenses and keep under 3k. 21 days in and im over 6k in expenses. I continue to have a discipline problem and will get buried by it when times are tougher. Too loose with challenges, revenge trading, impulsive trading, chasing price, tunnel vision. I still struggle with all of these and it is a total disrespect to the trader I wish to be. This week we focus on building the habits for the long run and stop chasing the green day or wiping away the bad feeling of a loss. I have proved I can make money, now I need to do the hard work to prove I can stay in the game long enough to keep it when I make it.

@PJtrades_NQ These are my biggest issues perfectly said. I am seeing huge improvement in every other spot but this one is really sticky to change my identity on

Can you take a big loss and walk away? Can you end the day red without chasing it back? Can you size down when every instinct says size up? Can you sit on your hands after getting stopped out? If the answer is no, the market isn't the problem. You are.

@RealJGBanks Tell how the recovery went not where you are now. How was it after this?

- $350k in one day. Started with $5,000 and thought I had everything figured out. A Million was next. I oversized because I was impatient and lost half of my port in one day. This was 2019 and was ready to give up trading. I’ve learned all the lessons when it comes to growing accounts and risk management. Don’t rush it. Slow and steady is the way to go. Remember it’s your journey. Trust the time work it all out. It’s a process. STICK WITH IT. You WILL become a Millionaire.
