Yes. I was funded and I started trading as of Thursday. Was a pretty smooth transition. I did have the option initially to trade with one of the funding companies who offered me a live sim, but I declined and I was moved over to the other funding partner. No complaints though. I haven't withdrawn, but I have been profitable so far.
With regards to Uprofit, I passed evaluation on Friday, and I am in process of waiting for account since I already signed the contract. Should be up and running in next day or two I imagine. Has also seemed to be a smooth process. I think these are amazing opportunities to make money as long as you treat them like a business.
Here is my sincerely advice which might help you in the long run.
You must have setups to trade or else, you don't know what you are doing. For each setup that you trade, you must collect screenshot from the moment you enter to exit. Spend your weekend or at the end of each month to analyze your screenshots for profitable or losing trades, you'll discover many amazing things. It is a lot of works, but there isn't easy ways to do it. I spent more than 10 hours every weekend to go through ton of these screenshots so I could improve my strategies. If I can do it, there is no excuse someone else can't do it.
Besides, the main reason why I'm emotional in trading is because trading 75k combine isn't the only account that I trade for. Each mistake will cost me a lot and because of such pressure on my shoulder, I try to master everything perfect such as a perfect setup with a perfect entry, perfect stop loss and a negotiable exit.
Thank you so much for the advice. Unfortunately I still haven't arrived at the condition of consistency and with this as soon as the bad day arrives I make big mistakes that make me wrong. I believe that the factors I need to focus on are setting rules to do and being able to apply them to the fullest. Then the psychology in the management of the position. I still have a long way to go, but I'm willing to do anything to make it. I will hold on and keep improving until I pass the challenge. How long did it take you to become consistency and find your edge? Did you burn any account?
I'm still on learning curve to figure out my edges for some setups. I need to focus entirely on screen most of the time and I don't like to get distracted. Making calls on chat room will make me nervous while I'm not a successful trader yet.
While waiting for my funded account setup, I continued to practice in SIM.
I took 3 trades since last night until ~10:30am (US central time). They were all profitable trades and I can see a huge different from trading more lots. So, if I ever have to trade any combine again, I guess I'll pass it much faster next time using more leverages to trade my strategies
