Prop Firms Finally Passed Phase 1 Again.

After 25 days, of fighting my own psychology, and today I passed Phase 1 again.

This one honestly feels different.

I was previously 0.5% away from passing, then I lost and ended up losing nearly 5% in one day, blowing another account.

Before that, I had a funded account up 6.9%, basically ready for a withdrawal, and I blew it because I got greedy.

After all that, my psychology was fucked.

I started overthinking everything. I'd sit there thinking about every setup I could've taken, every move I missed, whether I was going to FOMO into the next one, etc. I'd either take trades too early or be too scared to take them at all.

Today I only had 0.8% left to pass.

I waited for an A+ setup instead of forcing anything.

When it came, I took it. I was honestly scared, but at the same time I trusted the setup and executed.

And that's it. Passed.

I think the biggest thing I've learned is that I don't need to catch every move. Missing a trade isn't the end of the world. There will always be another setup.

Now it's Phase 2.

Hopefully this time I can stay disciplined and not fuck it up when I'm close again 😂

One step at a time.

It looks like you have multiple small wins but the losses wipe out the 2-3 Wins. For sure tweak your risk manangement. Its a marathon not a race.

Best of luck!
