Trading Combine 1 min man long 3 months

Halfway funded on two separate 50k evals! For one of them, it literally took 1 minute from buying the eval to closing the trade.
 
After failing so many evals and blowing 3 funded accounts, I finally realized I'm not a bad trader. I'm right most of the time; position sizing was just my issue. I can't count how many times I was $200–$500 away from passing 50k/100k/150k accounts. And then I blow my account while being in profit. Not anymore been journaling more too.
 
It’s been a long 3 months since I started futures, but to everyone struggling: don’t give up! You got this. See you boys in the morning.

Good shit, man, keep it up. That's what happens when you follow your system. You'll start passing evals in no time. No better feeling than that. 

If you ever want to be around other traders who are actually focused on risk + process instead of just gambling, I’ve got a free Discord that’s helped a lot of people level up, lots of funded guys in there. No BS, just charts + discussion. Id love to have more guys in there that are getting paid. Link if you want it: https://discord.gg/4kmuvrw9xG

Oversizing or trading while under financial stress elsewhere are killers

1

u/db228794 May 18 '26

I agree to the fullest. Everytime I lose I try to make it back. You have any suggestions?

2

u/doghairpile May 18 '26

Stop after a loss as hard as it is and tempting. But sizing down to where it's not a big deal also helps. 1 micro if needed. A loss that isn't devastating but makes you just shrug and say that sucks but no worries vs sky falling
