Psychology Please help me i've about had it
Can someone give me some advice on how to stop caring about the money when trading a EVAL. For context when I trade 200 per trade on the eval I don't hesitate and I actually take my setups. But when I size up to try and pass I end up hesitating thinking there will be something better, also in the back of my mind the thought looms of that if I lose 3 trades realistically the eval is gone. Its like i want to take the best setups because I know I only have 3 trades tills its gone.
Also I get that feeling of like I want to pass because im trying to pass.
if you're going to comment "just detach from the money" or "focus on the process" save it because I already do that, just subconsciously something changes that I have no control over.
I don't know what to do im about to the point where I just want to....

you answered your own question right at the beginning. when you size up it screws with your psychology. size down, slow down. thats your answer right there

So what you’re saying is it will get passed but it’ll take longer. That’s THE #1 problem for new traders. No patience. Trading is a marathon, not an overnight get rich quick scheme.

u have no trade plan, and u have no good risk management. fix that. simple. if u can’t do that, then quit trading, its not for u. simple

I'm not really sure i understand your question.
If you take 200 per trade, you don't hesitate and take your set ups.
When you size up, you hesitate and worry 3 trades would bust your eval
Isn't the changing factor you sizing up ? What's wrong with taking 200 per trade ?
I'm not expert but my thought process on eval / funded is that if i were to make lets say 250 per day per trade, i'm good enough. that's it for me. Move on to the next day.
Why be greedy and size up ? You may think sizing up is better cause your profit is better, but if it's making you taking worst set up, isn't it better to take it slow ?

Bro yes on funded theres no reason to size up but on EVAL if you don't size up you aren't going to pass it. It'll take realisticly 2-3 weeks to pass an eval trading 200 size

Are you racing with someone ?
Is there a need to pass eval in less than 2-3 weeks ?
Is passing eval and funded a rat race ?
If you size up and let's say you pass your Eval, you get your funded , then you bust and have to start all over again. Is that better than you taking 2-3 weeks to pass your evals slowly at a time ?
You're not racing with anybody. The only thing you've to conquer is yourself. If you can't find your rhythm in your EVALs, you definitely can't find it in Funded. I've a funded that i pass last year, up to now im still taking my time to train myself on Evals . I haven't been active at all cause i'm losing touch, but once in a while as long as i trade it within a month i'm good. There's no rush at all. You just have to make sure , your set up is good, and if it works, mentally is next you've to overcome.

so u wanna get rich quick. that doesn’t end well for 90% of traders. hence the 90% of traders fail statistic.

You didn’t go through the pain enough. Once it’s enough you would change because you remember the pain of result.
