This week was really tough for me and ended up blowing one of my @AlphaCapitalUK funded accounts Taking some time during the weekend to review my trading

The evolution of a systematic trader can be seen in the equity curve.
From trading only Tesla: 13% returns, 8% max drawdown. One instrument, one bias, one screen. Survivorship bias to the extreme.
To 25% returns, 5% max drawdown, Sharpe 2.38 in the last 300 trades (1 year lookback period). Live verified.
That’s how evolution looks.
As a discretionary trader, you can’t evolve. You can’t add more markets because you can’t watch 10 screens at once. You can’t add decorrelation because you’re trading your gut, and your gut has one bias. You can’t scale because there’s only one of you.
As a systematic trader, everything compounds. Every new strategy you add, every new instrument, every uncorrelated edge it makes the whole portfolio stronger. Not linearly. Exponentially.
I went from 1 strategy to 20+ strategies across multiple instruments and timeframes. Each one I add makes the equity curve smoother, the drawdowns shorter, and the Sharpe ratio higher. I can add more markets, more decorrelation, more strategies, more edge. There is no ceiling.
The best discretionary trader in the world is still one person staring at one screen.
I’m running 20+ strategies across multiple accounts. If Gold crashes, my NQ mean reversion catches it. If everything goes sideways, my breakout strategies wait. The portfolio doesn’t care about the regime it has something for every condition.
Discretionary traders hit a wall. I removed mine.

Getting absolutely thrashed on the market is no fun.
I know many of you followed me because I was having a generational run with the payouts. But I am here to show you that even if you have "figured it out", you can very quickly "unfigure it out".
Nothing I have been doing in the last month has been working. Every single trade has been going against me. Sometimes I'm catching the end of the moves and it immediately goes against me at my entry.
I'm doubting myself. The psychological grip on my mental state is tightening.
I lost maybe 5-6 phase 2s, I stopped counting.
I lost confidence.
Maybe because my strategies are based off data and the current environment is just not conducive to my findings? I am unsure🤔
Either way, many people may consider switching strategies or switching things up right now. But not me. I am known for being stubborn and I will ride out this red. I will collect more data before I cast aside this strategy of mine.
Maybe I am wrong. Not sure yet - but I will keep pushing and know I share in your frustration if you haven't been winning much either 🥲
Nonetheless, amidst a generational loss streak, I kept showing up. Every single day, I kept looking for opportunities. I did not tilt. I kept pushing. Because that's what legends do - they don't give up.
And here is a small win with @FundedTradingP to celebrate. It doesn't matter if I get a payout from this account or not.
What matters is I keep showing up. Every single day.

How is it hard when it helps you to not lose money?
Revin Zabala | CEO FTM@RZFTMARKETS
Honestly one of the hardest things to watch as a firm is several traders up $15-30k on a news event, then instead of being done for the day, they keep clicking like no tomorrow and give it all back within the next 30 mins. The news candle is not an invitation to keep going, it's your cue to log off. Take the win. It's okay to stop, but for most its easier said than done.
