Zaki - Stackavelli

Passed the 400k account. Patience through uncertainty. Discipline through hardship. Took my time (3months) and trusted the process. Alhamdulillah. The goal now isn’t passing challenges. The goal is consistency, payouts, and protecting the opportunity. Grateful, but the real work starts now. Built through pressure.

@hamidcpt Damn. Your right that’s too much of a slip for b/e

@zackii98 0.5% of my account. It was huge brother

I was break even on a trade and still took a loss. CFD firms are just terrible.

@_danieldag @TacticalT888 Haha it was a honest assessment of my own situation that im going through right now. Hopefully sharing it was helpful 💯. My DM is always open bro 🤝

@zackii98 @TacticalT888 😂😂 made me laugh man, but jokes aside you're 100% right, and this has happened to me a lot as well, mind if I DM you? Built something around this exactly

How the fuck can i clear 3/4 evals, make technichally 9k in total, cleared all in 3-4 days but cannot seem to make 1000$ on a funded. Make it make sense to me. Where am i going wrong?

3 months of progress ruined in 2 weeks. Hard truth: the market didn't beat me. I beat myself. Looking at this calendar, the pattern is obvious. My profitable days came from patience. My biggest losses came when I stopped accepting losses and started trying to force them back. Today I took 2 losses, had 1% drawdown left, and instead of protecting the account, I got emotional. The account wasn't blown by a setup. It was blown by a decision. And i gotta live with that.

Failed the account today. Tough pill to swallow, but accountability comes first. No excuses. Mistakes were made and now it's my job to make sure they don't happen again. Learn. Adjust. Rebuild. Alhamdulillah in all circumstances. 🤲🏾📈

@E8Andrew @E8Markets I have a 400k E8 one performance account. Can i apply to pass another? i thought the max allocation was 500,000 @E8Andrew @IncrlgzTrader

Casually floating with $183k in profit with zero stress. Only at @E8Markets

@hamidcpt you forgot 2 more zeros at the end there

$100 -> $10,000.

1L (-0.6%) to start the week. Was in profit but couldn’t close because it didn’t give me b/e. We move forward.

@jaycerifit Facts💯 🤝

@zackii98 That’s funny. We all on the same journey but in different points of it. Think of it as tuition for the lifelong money printing skill you’re about to have 🤝

I couldn't stop blowing my accounts, no matter how hard I tried. Last year, before my first payout, I fell $200-$400 short 3 times. Each time.. I tilted and gave it all away. At my worst, I was tilting once a week. Sometimes losing half the account. Sometimes losing the whole thing. The crazy part? Every single Sunday I'd tell myself there was no way I was doing that again. Why would I? It was the most painful, stupid thing I kept putting myself through. Then the next week would come.. and I'd do it again. I genuinely felt like I had no control over myself. Completely helpless. I KNEW that if I just stopped tilting I would have already had multiple payouts by that point. So I sat down, got real with myself, and wrote these rules. I literally have not tilted since (going on 5 months since last minor one and 8 since last major one) 1. It's always the small things that start it. Anything over 2R. A subpar entry. A pre-open trade. These don't just cost you one trade — they start a spiral. Cut them off before they start. 2. You will always think you won't. Every single time I tilted, I was confident going in that I wouldn't. That confidence is the trap. It is always possible. It creeps in before you even realize it. 3. It's not that deep. The second you step outside, you'll have forgotten about it. And instead of sitting in a loss, you get to celebrate the fact that you just beat the thing that used to destroy you. 4. You will forget about the loss by next trading day. Every time. Without exception. 5. It's supposed to feel hard. To break this for good you're going to have to sit through feelings that are genuinely gut-wrenching and do nothing. The discomfort IS the work. Expect it. Welcome it. And you will breakthrough 💪 66 days to build the habit. That's all it takes 🫡

@trevor_hun_insi @E8Markets Is 1:1 I wouldn’t say tight. Pretty standard

@E8Markets 8% drawdown for 8% target is tight

E8 Pro. Every number you need. Right here. Static drawdown. Daily payouts. No consistency rule. Swing trading allowed. 80% payout share as standard + 100% available as an add-on. The rules don't change across any account size. Profit target: 8% Max drawdown: 8% (static) Daily drawdown: 2.5% Daily profit cap: 2% Request your first payout once you hit minimum profit. After that — every single day. 30% off everything with code E8 for the next 7 days only: $5K — $27 $10K — $62 $25K — $138 $50K — $208 $100K — $398 $200K — $838 $100K is the most popular. We'll let the numbers explain why. Code E8. Simulated accounts. Real payouts.

@hamidcpt As long as you took your setup, you won. This is just another data point that will help you refine later.

$Nasdaq Unfortunate today.

@jaycerifit Built through pressure. No shortcuts. No lottery trades. Just thousands of reps, mistakes, lessons, and patience compounded.

It's pretty wild. I'm 2 years and 4 months into trading and it has finally begun to click. That's even with being profitable for 11 out of the last 14 months. Even though I was profitable I was still struggling to be consistent, weather drawdowns and overcome psychological hurdles like reaching payout. It took me 14 months to pass my first evaluation and then passed 3 in a day and 12 over the next half a year. It took me 2 years to secure my first payout and then secured 8 in 4 months. I never did it the way trading influencers teach you to trade evals -> full porting and trying to pass in 1 or 2 trades. I took them slow and steady to minimize spend (since I literally started with hundreds of dollars). I never traded funded accounts the way influencers show off -> full porting their drawdown or cutting it in 1-4 trades. I also took them slowly and steadily, taking (4 months!!) for my first funded account to reach payout. So even though I haven't done anything flashy in these first 2 years and 4 months, I know I've built the foundation for long-term success and unshakable confidence in my abilities.. And big, flashy payouts once in a blue moon can't beat that. I'm not here to play the prop game. We don't know how long they will last and cannot build a business around something that is historically unreliable and constantly changing rules to hurt the favor of traders. I am here to play the long game. I want to leverage props to build up and eventually trade my own capital. And I want to grow my portfolio to over $1M. I don't care how long it takes. I'll do my best to document it all here. But man.. I'm sitting here reflecting on it all and these near 2.5 years have FLOWN by. So if you're really going through it now as a trader, on your last dime, maybe feeling hopeless, maybe constantly blowing accounts and feeling like you have no control over yourself; just know that it all passes with time.. and it flies by. Before you know it, it'll all feel like a cheat code with the money you're making with trading. The odd thing is, there was no one big epiphany for me. It's been more like dozens of epiphanies compounded and experience/wisdom built out of LOTS of pain, mistakes, regrets and time on the charts. It really cannot be forced and you can't skip steps. But once you reach the other side, it feels sooo damn good to have overcome it, overcome yourself and created a money printer that can set yourself and your family financially free.. and the ability to live the life of your dreams. Even though I'm not all the way there, I KNOW I've got it now.. it just took 2+ years to fully realize it. The next ~2.5 years are going to be fun 🫡

Absolute mental breakdown today. Very disappointed in myself. Went from being +1.7% in profit to giving it all back and more. Now I’m sitting at -2%. The emotional heaviness of feeling like a complete failure and being my own worst enemy is terrible. I tell myself every time that it’ll never happen again, yet I find myself repeating the same mistake over and over. Why do I start chasing? Why is accepting a loss so difficult? If I had simply accepted my loss, I would be sitting at -1% right now and that would be the end of it. Instead, I let my emotions take over and turned a manageable loss into something much bigger. The frustrating part is that I know I can trade. I didn’t come this far by accident. I’ve put in too much work and overcome too much to question that. But when these emotional takeovers happen, it’s like logic leaves the room. I’m glad the weekend is here. I’m going to take some time to reset and do some deep reflecting on why I struggle so much with accepting losses. As of now, we’re sitting at -2% with 4% drawdown remaining. The account is still alive. The challenge now isn’t the market—it’s mastering myself. InshaAllah, I’ll be back when I’m ready.

One of those days again. Tilted and gave back a good portion of the week profits. The rule was simple: no more than 2 trades per day. I broke it. Frustrated? Yes. But the lesson is clear: Knowing when enough is enough will save you more money than finding another setup. Discipline over impulse. Process over emotion. Review. Reset. Come back next week, In shaa Allah. 🤝

I target 1.5R–2R rather than trying to maximize every trade because it aligns better with the 40% Best Day Rule at E8 Markets. While some setups may eventually reach 3R or more, consistently banking 1.5R–2R allows me to distribute profits more evenly across multiple trading days and reduces the risk of one outsized day affecting my payout eligibility. That said, one piece of data I’ll be tracking for the rest of the year is how many of my setups actually go on to reach 3R after I’ve exited. Then, in 2027, I’ll review the data and decide whether it’s worth incorporating into my strategy. Too many traders change their systems based on a feeling or a handful of recent trades. A hunch can be valuable, but it should be tested separately—not blindly integrated into your process. For now, the plan stays the same. Stick to what got you here. Collect the data. Let the evidence make the decision.

2nd trade played out. ✅ Direction alone doesn’t pay. Execution does. I can be right on where the market is headed and still lose on a setup. That’s why risk management will always matter more than ego. Trading isn’t a game of being right. It’s a game of surviving long enough to capitalize when you are. Maximize the upside when you’re right. Minimize the damage when you’re wrong. That’s the dance with the market. Stay in the dance long enough, and you start moving with the rhythm.
