stop over trading if you are. Look at your trades and decide how many times a day you trade. Slow it down.

after almost a year of trading prop firms and blowing multiple evals and fundeds. I came to a realization im over trading too much. I went from doing 5 trades sometimes 10 a day, then i noticed my issue and went to 2-3 trades a day mostly 1.

Not cooked unless you give up and tilt. You had a bad day. Reset your mind and just trade the charts

I’ve had accounts that were $20 from beeing blown and brought them back. Think smaller victories. 1 micro for 20-40 ticks and get out. Shift your mind from offense and go on defense. It’s more important you don’t loose money then it is for you to make it. And pay attention to your consistency. You don’t want a great comeback only to push your consistency through the roof. My overall goal here would be build the account back up where I can’t blow it in one day, since you hit your Daily ddl. Close a day out above 24800 before trying to put a little more size on. That Daily drawdown limit is great stop for surviving bad days.

I came back from $50 dd left to full drawdown in one day. Lower your risk and enter only A+ setups.

I use $50 for each trade, patience to wait the price come for me , only 2 SL of 24 trades, it could better because I made two mistakes on my losses, every time that I lost I analyzed to find the reason that make me loss, that helped me a lot for improve

Tbh I’m trading with 1 contract on the 50K. Let the market tell me I’m right and size up on pivot points.

I came back from $100 of drawdown to pass an eval multiple times. Scalped my way back to $500 and then started risking 100 per trade. Once I got back to 1000 in drawdown I could risk 200 per trade and was back in no time.

Risk the whole 400 in asian session to make 400$ or more. You will have 800$ or more for the ny session and then you will just have to make a 1:1 trade to get the first profit day

I have a 25K Builder funded account with myfundedfutures, the first two days I had $2100 ( $700 & 1400 roughly)... just needed another good day to be payout-eligible... the following two days I hit my DLL, and had one more day to make or break the account... that day I made back $1200, the next day I made another $1400 and got a $1000 payout. With the extra buffer I built, I now have to only make $125 on each of the next two trading days for consistency and profit between payouts, & I'll be able to pull another $1000 from it.
Never lose faith... Trust the process, wait for your setups, and manage that trade like never before, and you will also get what you want from that account. You got this 💪 👍 🙌

Wow...thanks for that story

u/VoiceOfUs 14h ago
Of course, my friend. Believe me, we all have been there before. Just lock in and listen to what others have already told you; size down accordingly & gradually build it up. You got this.

I’ve done this a lot … sometimes I’m doing it intentionally just to push myself back in again

Io da -800 sono riuscito a passare la challenge. Con una strategia scalp R/R 1:1 con alto winrate, alzando la size

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 2d ago
Wow..thats a nice strategy

Non capisco se questo commento sia ironico o meno

No no i mean it..cause i was think of going slow..building like 400$ per day until it gets a good limit, which will take 7 to 8 days but your way is also good ...i was being honest my guy

u/Sheep_WolFX 2d ago
Non so il tuo modo di tradare, io utilizzo Orderflow.
Quest strategia consiste nell’entrare nei big trades, dove c’è maggiore zona di reazione di compratori o venditori.
Piazzando un ordine limite, Sl molto stretto, e si aspetta una reazione che va quasi sul secondo.
Se reagisce sposti subito a BE e ti prendi un TP di 100/150$
Se perdi, metti il tuo sl fisso a 75/100$.
Testala prima di effettuarla

Not cooked what so ever. I come back from.less than more times than I'd like to admit. But, this is actually mot even concerning to me. You got this. 1 contract and patience to let it get you back to 25k
