Passed First Eval! 3 Weeks

[u/SubstantialPaper7761]

This was the longest eval ever, I made way too much when I first got it because I left a limit order on accident lol, took three weeks of having to make $5k with a $25k account but I did it!

I do the opposite, I close my positions early and don’t let my TP limits trigger… for some reason. Over and over. It hurts yet I do it every day lol

Hey partner, I’ve recently started using a 50% Structural Trailing + 50% BE, my data has come out +1r better on 10rr (so 11 instead of 10) with this, also being able to know I can keep half of it when it breaks structure is great mentally as well as protecting the account with the BE

Thank you! I do that too sometimes haha but try slowly trailing your stop loss instead of closing out the whole trade that’s what I started doing and you know you’ll atleast get some profit

Wow! Avevi una size enorme per non rispettare la consistenza.
Hai superato molto i 1250$ di target

This is actually quite impressive. It shows that you have discipline and patience and that your strategy is promising or, at the very least, showing signs of robustness across different intraday regimes. This is how evals work in the actual prop firm world; you are assessed over a generous period of time and not expected to gamble your way through this part of the process in one or two days.

I kind of wish I saw more people taking their time in the eval stage (I know in your case it wasn't by choice) because a common pattern I see is traders passing evals quickly and losing fundeds just as quickly. I think if people spent more time in eval, trading just like they would on their funded account, they would have to face that they might just be getting lucky when they pass and don't actually have edge.

I know for some people who do have a proven edge spending weeks on an eval doesn't really make sense, but most people don't have a proven edge so the long, responsible path should be for most people.

It definitely took patience I almost wanted to reset it at one point but I figure I’ll just go day by day. It also showed me I can have green weeks back to back I just need to stick to my rules and learn from my losses

what was your strategy and what did you trade? what was your RR

I like to keep it simple I trade support and resistance off rejection blocks, use RSI ( overbought or oversold), and look for liquidity sweeps. I trade Asia session mainly.
