day 10 of the eval. again, i feel like i took better trades today. they just didn’t work out. before the open, i took time to clear my head and remind myself that today was a new day. i stayed off the 1m and used the 5m/15m instead, which helped a lot mentally. the setup was there: large reversal, small pullback, continuation. i saw it, set the limit, got filled, and price went straight to +100 pts. problem was, my tp wasn’t at +100pts. it was at +104pts because i carelessly placed it at VAH instead. price missed me, reversed all the way back, and stopped me at breakeven. painful, but that’s the lesson. both trades were limit orders, not market orders. less urgency and chasing. both trades risked $100 max. this is a $25k eval with $1,000 of drawdown, so i’m risking 10% of drawdown per trade and targeting $200. i came in calm, cool, and collected. i left feeling personally attacked by the market. that’s not a recipe for winning, but we move on. monday is another day and a another opportunity. staying grateful. this is the longest i’ve ever traded an eval without tilting, and that's a huge win for me.

@nqjack Thanks man

@bynummm You got this 💪

two weeks of eval results. first two days were half size.

@tradetanto Thank you. Enjoy your weekend too!

@bynummm remember, with that R winning long term is just controlled loosing and repetition, have a good weekend won't feel a thing by Sunday

price ran exactly 100 points up before reversing lmao. shame on me for not knowing my calculations

had a perfect trade, price ran to my TP, then i realized my TP was too far by a few points. by the time i realized, price had top ticked my intended TP and reversed. stopped out at BE. know your quick mental math for mechanical strategies friends

@SuvoConquers For sure! Staying grateful that I’m still in the game

Yeah it might have been a red day on the calendar but look at the positives. You stuck to your plan, you walked away and you didn’t tilt. Psychological discipline is so difficult, more difficult than learning any strategy or concept. So keep your chin up bro, new day and new opportunity coming 🙏🏼

day 9 of eval. took better trades today than yesterday and felt much calmer. managed risk at $100. didn’t rush into either trade. both trades were retracement taps on fvgs and aligned with the trend. i would take them again. stayed calm, patient, and let the market move. i controlled everything i could today, and it still didn’t work out. that’s part of the game. control the downside, keep playing the statistics. locked myself out of trading until tomorrow morning. i know eventually this psychological discipline will pay off. $395 of drawdown left. four trades left.

@SuvoConquers Thanks for the detailed reply. Will check those guys out—this helps!

There are some serious succesful traders who use strictly ICT concepts - it’s just that learning to read them and trade them properly takes time. Don’t be discouraged if you’re strategy hopping because I think literally everyone has been there, you’ll jump around till you find something that resonates but it’s just part of the journey. For me personally, I trade with two screens. The main chart is the market structure and I use various ICT concepts. Then the second chart I use the IB, delta, vwap. If you haven’t already heard of these guys, I seriously highly reccomend learning from them. They have amazing content and will change the way you view the market. @TTrades_edu - learn his fractal model @XYJtrades - teaches smts / psp @GxTradez - similar to xyj Good luck bro! 😎

i'm dabbling in ict concepts for the first time and honestly, wow. i used to brush them off as illegitimate, but now that i understand some of the logic underneath them, i see why traders use them. i backtested today's pa with ict concepts, and it provided a great framework with good results. note to self: strategy hopping doesn’t prove profitability. discipline and consistency do.

@_not_a_fish That’s the dream tbh

Highly considering using my live, and never buying a prop account again I have a $2,000 live a few prop accounts But I’m feeling done with the prop game, too much to worry about in an already worrisome game

@NQTraderFutures @davidgoggins @marketbuyonly @masterblack64 Makes me feel better about my 3 day losing streak 😂

My MFFU LIVE account Shorted ATH every day with dedication Worst trader in the big 26? Who’s gonna carry the boats? @davidgoggins @marketbuyonly @masterblack64

@Rahul2profitabl I feel the same way. I think taking it slow is the best way to see long term improvement.

@bynummm Thanks man ima try to bounce back. But I’m conflicted on “gambling the eval” or taking it slow

Truly devastated. I had these accounts for about a whole month

@Bandz_Trading What framework do you use?

@bynummm It doesn’t work

@SooTrades Thanks for the encouragement 🙏

@bynummm Keep it up! Risk management and emotional control are the foundation of a good trader.

@bkfcorp beautiful!

2 trades 1w 1L

Session 12 P&L: $262.78 BAL: $51,889.56 1micro as always, keeping it as consistent as possible

@TQtradesNQ Thanks! It can be so hard especially when I haven’t seen a payout and my P/L is going down. Trusting in the process 💪

@bynummm W for the discipline bro 🫡

and i didn't fomo into the open like i've done the last couple of days. big win for me today mentally and pyschologically. live to trade another day.

feeling good about this one.
