This must be the worst day for my system since the last day of the funded account with E2T.
However this time it is not my system at fault but me ... I have missed 2 trades on NQ (+16 points) and i have done one trade with 2 contracts without noticing it until after the trade which resulted in a loss of $430.
Total loss for today -$705, going to call it a day to avoid any more losses and to make sure the daily draw down isn't going to be hit.
I am still in the evaluation account. After i forgot to do the updates for a few day's i have decided to no longer do the daily updates since i no longer see the use for it. Now i am just saving my screenshots offline and i am exporting my trade logs from Rithmic everyday so i can review my trades again in a later stage if i wanted to.
I will report back here once i have lost the account or reached the funded account.
It took some time but i finally made it, i have reached the $3000 target today.
I am no longer trading the system i was using on NQ, it is still profitable, on paper, but i was missing around 15%-20% of the trades and because of this i was unable to make a decent profit. The system still has good potential but i think it has to be fully automated to avoid the large number of missed trades.
In the last 2-3 weeks i have been trading a system that i have been using since a long time (multiple years) but stopped using recently in an effort to try (semi) automated trading. I am still going to work on the system but no longer going to waste my trading time on it, at least not until i get it fully automated.
I was $600 away from my draw down limit when i decided to go back to the system i knew and used to trade and in 2 weeks time i managed to make $4000 without to much risk.
Once i have the funded account i will keep trading as i have been doing the last 2 weeks, meaning trading only NQ and ES.
@RDK91 Congratulation on your achievement. I've been following your progress. It is good to see that you pass OneUp in time. You also motivated me to take Gauntlet. It looks like you are one of the first ppl who passed it.
