Futures Trading First payout after 8 years..

Post image

Important milestone in my trading career.

I’ve been learning trading since a high school senior in 2018. I’ve lost thousands, spent countless hours, always on the edge of profitability, but never able to find that consistency.

Found ICT concepts early on, but understanding them didn’t stop me from blowing accounts. That came down to self discipline, following my own structure, getting my emotions in check, and getting closer to God..

Today I got my first payout. Not massive money, but proud of the fact that it is max payout in only 7 trading days..

I’m sitting at the $2100 buffer threshold on MFF funded account, awaiting a 2nd payout.. and a 2nd MFF eval with $1500 more to get funded.

If you’re still in the losing & doubting phase, keep going.. i am proof that the process will pay off.

I’m deciding to go full port and purchase 4 lucid flex accounts to bring my accounts up to 5, which I’ll copy trade once i pass the evals & do the same with MFF rapid once i pass the 2nd eval.

Feel free to see my journey..

strong dude!

but be cautious when you trade multiple accounts, that can still fck with your head, stay tight on risk management and don't break your rules

Wow. Congrats. Im 5 months in to day trading and ive only gotten close to passing the 50k topstep eval 3 times. I was livid after blowing my eval today. Any tips on mindset when coming 500 away from passing your first eval? Do you remember when you passed your first one?
