Just trying to see what this whole trading thing is about.

One and done 10 minutes into my day. I am pressing pretty heavy in order to pass this eval in the 3 days needed. Strategy so far holding up. This took a sweet bounce from Thursday's RTH lows to the ON highs. I normally target 3 - 5 points but today I figured I'd go for the London sweep and it paid off. Locking it up till tomorrow. Fingers crossed I pass and then start pushing for that payout. #Daytrader $ES_F #LFG

This is why I love trading and hate it all at the same time. I know many people treat it as a game and honestly sometimes when I deviate from my levels I am straight gambling. But clearly my zones work, caught a little baby short at about 9:15 and went in pretty heavy and was able to catch enough of a move to make some money. If @TradingLucid did not have a consistency rule I would've entered again one more time at my support level. Oh well.. Third of the way to passing, now let's just try and be smart so I can get to a payout already.. Anywho happy Friday all. See you back here again on Monday. #Evaljail $ES_F

You know when you make 1500 on funded account and you come back the next day with 2 NQ minis instead of 2 micros and immediately lose $1700 within 2 minutes of the open and then you proceed to say fuck it blow it within 5 minutes? No? Just me.. That's great, picked a 50k Lucid.. I'm sure that'll pop soon too

So the 25k PA died today. Just was trading with too much size. The 50k PA got me almost past the buffer. Days like this make me feel invincible but then I remember I haven't had a payout in months. To think after starting the year with a 6k payout I thought I was going to hit 50k this year.. lol.. Trading is so cruel.. Anywho will trade smaller the rest of the way to my payout. I think the legacy accounts have a 30% consistency rule so I have to get to like 55200.. Yay me.. @ApexTradeFund #basehits $ES_F $NQ_F

And then I do something like this where I buy a 50k with no DLL, full port twice at my points of interest and I win and pass the eval in one day.. Like I've s aid passing evals is nothing anymore. I need more discipline to get the payouts. My strategy prove to be profitable so now the only thing that needs to change is me. Welp let's see how this one goes.. @ApexTradeFund #ES_F #NQ_F #Roadtopayout

I am so fed up with my crap. I do not understand why i do not have the discipline to wait for my set ups even though I see the results of when I do. Monday chased trades all morning, DLL of $600. Awesome, f@#$ me. Tuesday I sit, I wait I take my set up, 4 trades later up $450, 100% on the day. Great, I feel like I can get this stupid account to a payout. Today, I make up a freaking set up on the fly. Losses. Okay no worries. Enter at my set up, it doesn't go my way so I cut it short. I re-enter once I see it was working out, DLL of $600 hit again. So I go shower, disappointed only to turn the charts back on and my set up worked BEAUTIFULLY!? But was I able to catch it? No because I did some stupid sh!t before that. Sometimes I just don't understand. My strategy works, why do I continue to refuse to execute it. I'm almost tempted to find a way to automate it to get out of my own way. But unfortunately it's too discretionary and according to claude it isn't profitable. I just don't qet what is my problem.. anyways that's my TedTalk. Also I hate DLL. This account has like $100 in drawdown, just let me blow it already.

So day 1 on the @ApexTradeFund funded account and of course first thing I do is chase a trade, which if I would have held on to, it would have worked. But it's moments like that that I am like when am I going to get tired of my own shit. But anywho took a trade that was within my set up. Then chased another trade only to cut it extremely prematurely. Then went on to have 3 back to back trades in my set up and they worked. So all in all only up like $300 on the account but that is fine. Realistically that is what I am going for anyways so I am happy with how my day ended. Maybe I will get another eval by monday so I can have 2 accounts running. #ES_F #Funded #TGIF

Welp one more soldier died today and the final eval passed. It's funny because I have found a decent amount of my evals get passed so it's not even exciting anymore. But the discipline is not there and it is so evident for me. I had two accounts within 600 of being passed. One was passed. So obviously the overconfidence took over and account #2 was blown and not one of my setups was taken. Like dude what are we doing.. I don't know, I'm happy I passed but it's pretty uneventful until I get a payout I suppose. Anywho.. Yay me! 😐 $ES_F #funded #daytrader @ApexTradeFund

Sometimes I cannot get a read on days like today. I bought a few @ApexTradeFund evals yesterday since they have a dirty cheap bundle. Yesterday I traded two of them using my new strategy and I made $600 combined on ES, cool. So that gave me some confidence. Today CPI hit and obviously the market dumped so I traded the same eval, got run over, blown. Cool no worries, I have 4 more. Traded the second one, up $300, cool on to the next one. Eval 3 made $600, cool next eval. Eval 4, got completely run over cool, my strategy is not 100%. Re-entered, blown. Alright no worries, eval 5 is up. Looking for the same trade, looked good then reversed, came down to entry so I doubled down, a quick bounce, blown. Okay so at this point I'm contemplating whether my new strategy is trash or am I just not testing it enough. Enter again with eval 2, not going to lie got scared, boom cut it short. +$200 more. Close it. At this point there is no denying it is dump city so eval 3 comes back in. Easy entry, boom +$300. So ended the day with 3 blown evals and 2 about 1 day away from passing. The reason today was so hard to read is because it took me 3 evals to finally stop fighting the trend and then once I did, I almost passed one account in 1 day. It's not to see I'm not a shitty trader but definitely not a consistent one in any sense of the word. Anywho.. #ES_F #dumpcity

Haven't been on here due to work keeping me busy. But managed to pass my account yesterday and traded it that same day since @TradingLucid is quick with the activation. Was up $350 and per usual kept trading and ended the day with $50. Today took shorts after NFP before market opened and called it a day. So far feeling good. Fingers crossed that I can get to payout next week. Happy weekend y'all!! 🥳 #basehits #tradingfutures #TGIF $ES_F

So started my morning 2/2. Up $350 by 9:50 am. So what should I have done? Walked away obviously Nope the overconfidence took over and I lost it all. Well obviously I need to win in back. Removed my DLL and kept trading. 45 minutes later my sccounts are blown. Honestly I am absolutely disgusted with myself. At this point I don't get it. I know they say you will get better when you get tired of your own crap and trust me I am tired of it but I cannot seem to get out of my own way. Well back to being inconsistent 👍

So here we are, Day 3 of these @fundedfamily S2F accounts. I have to admit today I left maybe around $400 - $800 on the table. Reason being is I like to my stop to BE once my first target is hit. And I know a lot of people hate that on here but that's why I partial so I can pocket some sort of profits. Today happened to whip enough that I was not getting much. I did lose a couple of trades this morning. Was down $600, (I added a personal $800 DLL on my @tradecopia), and managed to swing it back around to a positive $400 for the day. Any who, so far super happy with my execution these last 3 days. Fingers crossed I am on to something. #Daytrader #NYSE #TGIF $ES_F

So I picked up a couple @fundedfamily 50k S2F accounts since they had that 24H sale yesterday or two days ago. These are the first ever straight to funded accounts I have ever gotten. But one they were cheap and two I was looking at my stats and I made essentially over 5k in the month of August without taking a payout because I blew my accounts in September. 3k to pass the account and 2k to get over the buffer. Now let's pretend I don't need to pass an eval, 2k to get over the buffer and 3k towards a withdrawal. So I guess we'll see if my logic works. I will admit I am sizing a little more aggressively which may or may not be working in my favor but I guess we will see. So far I seem to be doing okay. #S2F $ES_F #Daytrader

So after a red day yesterday. For some reason that caused me to spiral today and decided to trade the London session. Welp safe to say both funded accounts are non existent and taking the weekend off to reflect. So much for having matured... 😐

What a day.. The worst part is that while at the gym this morning I had a feeling that today could go sideways because of my past history. So in the past I blew evals and funded accounts. Honestly I think my streak of payouts in January ended with me blowing up my FFF funded account. So I did go into the day a little more cautious today. And on my first trade, I enter short, SL 3 points away. Price POPS in the opposite direction down 7 points.. 7 POINTS!? 4 points of slippage over my SL. I will admit in the past this would have caused me to majorly spiral and probably blow my accounts. So while that sounds dandy, I am disappointed in that I usually stop at about $600 in losses, well as you can see in the screenshot I got down below $800. So I said well the lucid funded has a 1200 DLL so I'll do that. And looking back, I should have stopped at -$600. But hey I somehow scrapped my way to basically a BE even day 😅 As much as I have matured in trading since I started almost 2 years ago, I clearly still have a long way to go. $ES_F #daytrading #FOMC #barelygreen
