$500 away from passing 50 evals at multiple firms.
This week has been challenging. I've been taking paper cuts all week just from reading the markets wrong even though there was opportunity daily. Coming into today I was net -3.5R all done LIVE with my group.
I'm human.. just like the rest of you.
The key isn't to pretend like you're not.
It's to show up with the same rigid process win or loss.
When you feel tilt coming, step away and regroup.
It took me YEARS and blown accounts to realize I just needed to slow down.
Every time I took a break, I realized how much opportunity I missed out on because I burnt my capital too quickly and couldn't control my frequency or sizing.
Just remember, there's always another trade tomorrow.
The market doesn't pay you to force it.
If you learn anything from me.. it's that you're not trying to be perfect. You're just trying to be around long enough to capitalize on the easy trades.
Once funded I'm dialing back my risk across all accounts to $250/trade and documenting it all live trying to pull $500K from these accounts.
The wins.. the losses.. the whole journey.
