@mewddsltd no, I have not, thanks for the rec. I'll check it out over the weekend. I feel like I need a better exit indicator, one that doesn't need for bar close to let me know to exit. I need to cut my losers faster.


05.02.2023 - N/A no trades, Apex trade copier got ddos, log in failed in the morning, didn't want to risk it.
05.03.2023 - [Day 31/100] - PASS: [[Day 7][Day 6]] - 4 accounts : +$40 | $3797/$3000 ; 1 account: +$40 | $2658/$3000: [Day 5/20] - FAIL

I was able to my emotions in check today. Another 50/50 day, I was able to come out on top! I did not touch my GAT setting. Loss some, won some, I do still need to cut m losers faster. I tend to just let it hit my S/L, even though I already know I'm wrong. This hope inside me, ugh disgusting! I'm still dollar driven, because I don't want to reduce contracts size for PA. We will see what happen, maybe lady luck will be on myside and I can start off well. Either way, I must commit to my daily loss limit. I must take the good with the bad. If I do hit my daily loss limit, I need to switch to reducing my contract size and be defensive. I need to follow through. Utilizing my strength good days and limiting my weakness on bad days.

So 4 of my eval passed, I'll be setting them for PA later today. I have been thinking back and forth on this, and I've decide to go with 5 PA starting tomorrow instead of 9/10. I will leave my other half in my pocket and start using them once I am able to show some consistency with me not breaking my daily loss limit. I know my risk management is preventing me from keeping money in my pocket. As for my 1 remain eval, I'll trade it whenever, and keep posting on it.


Today was rocky, hope everyone got what they wanted! GSW in 5 =)

So when you pass a EVAL you don't have to fund them immediately ? You can pay one fee and then bring the others on as you go?

No, I do have to pay the fee. You are correct in that you must fund it within 48 hours of passing. I passed 5 other evals already two weeks ago. So after today I'll have 9 PA and 1 EA.

I am asking once you pass the Eval do you have to pay the fee right away or lose or can I start the PA when ever I want and pay the fee? Thanks and congrats

Yes, you have 48 hours to pay otherwise you forfeit the PA account.
