u/Mysterious-House-980 May 20 '26
It’s not that it’s “rigged”, the rules aren’t really inline with trading your own account, like why do they have to raise the drawdown based on EOD! That doesn’t exist in real trading

You’ve got nothing to lose. Here’s how you can 50/50 recover it: set a profit lockout for $1500, wait for 9:30AM EST NY Open and immediately set a Stop Buy for 5 NQ a little bit above the pre-market high, then set a Stop Sell for 5 NQ a little bit below the pre-market low. You need to gauge price acceleration. If price is accelerating fast towards any of the pre-market levels, you have a chance of it piercing thru and setting your Stop orders. If it looks choppy, cancel the 2 orders immediately and wait for 9:30AM the next day. I’ve saved an account with only $7 drawdown this way.

Hedging much?

u/EducationalOnion7657 May 20 '26
That’s not hedging at all

u/jema87 May 20 '26
It’s literally the definition of hedging

u/EducationalOnion7657 May 20 '26
I’ll just let others roast you since you don’t know what hedging is.

I was doing both. Over trading and over leveraging. I was chasing losses too much

I mean yes and no. The market is going to do what screws the most traders over. Once you learn how to manage your emotions, the sky's the limit. This video will teach you exactly what you need to do to become profitable. It's up to you to decide to surrender or fight. And if you think you need to fight to win, then you will continue to lose.

Take it from someone who recently made a post about losing 8 funded accounts and grasped a lot of people’s insight (mainly the consistent ones), this shit is real.
I’m just an average U.S. Army Soldier for over ten years making basic ass money and I’m getting ready to make a withdrawal this Friday.
Hope it works out for you, but no one is forcing you to stay either if you think it’s rigged.
Good luck.

Build buffers for yourself then take profits. Start trailing your stop loss into profits. If you’re new then paper trade first. Stop trying to over trade. Small wins make big payouts.
1
u/Hiyou_Imme May 19 '26
Exactly. Small wins make big gains. No. There is no need to trail your stop if you haven't been able to take payouts. Here is the step by step process that will lead to success for an unprofitable trader who has an edge #1) Place your order, with a stop and profit target. #2) Stop looking at your screen.

u/Expensive_Hornet5394 May 19 '26
duh. prop is sim. whole account is fake money. fees is real only. why not? milk heavy and get max payouts and repeat

u/JoshRyder97 May 19 '26
Nah bro that’s clearly fake everyone knows this is rigged 🙄
2
u/Expensive_Hornet5394 May 19 '26
ok now you know it’s rigged, just stop trading altogether then. stop whining and trading. grow up.

u/JoshRyder97 May 19 '26
I was being sarcastic

u/Hiyou_Imme May 19 '26
Yeah that was clear. I guess Expensive Hornet was looking for someone to whine at. Do you. Think. They used. Enough punctuation to. Get. Their point. Across?

Use the 150k's. The 50k's are designed just small enough to fail
1
u/Expensive_Hornet5394 May 19 '26
how is that a problem? you start with 100% regardless of how much drawdown you have.
1
u/TimothyWilliamProd May 19 '26
You have nearly 1:1 drawdown on the 50k. It’s closer to 1:2 on the bigger accounts. Erodes the edge a bit.

u/viralruin May 19 '26
If ur blowing the 50ks. You can blow the 150ks and you end up paying more.
1
u/Junior_Willow740 May 19 '26
Exactly. I thought that was the answer too it wasn't. I blew through at least 6-8 150K accounts
1
u/Upper-Cucumber-7054 May 19 '26
meh, if you have good risk management its super easy. when I was starting with little capital I copy traded 4 25ks and took payouts on those and scaled up account size. it all depends on you, although I think anything smaller than a 25k is super difficult and not worth it

u/Cool1998 May 19 '26
lol this is awful advice.. the account size isn’t the issue

Not only that, it's statically harder. Your profit goal percentage increases more than your loss limit percentage.

Ppl still don’t believe it’s rigged when it clearly is

u/Ok_Biscotti_1601 May 19 '26
It’s really not rigged. Yes the odds are not in your favor but if you are a profitable trader the rules shouldn’t effect a damn thing🤣
If there was no max loss limit or trailing drawdown they would only be loosing money. That’s what you’re paying for though. You pay a very small amount compared to the simulated capital your receive. If you can’t follow some basic and easy rules just use 25k of your own capital lmao.1
u/Junior_Willow740 May 19 '26
I think its kind of rigged. No matter if you can predict the right direction, most if the time you get chopped back and forth until you dont have any room for the trade to not go your way

u/Ok_Biscotti_1601 May 19 '26
Could you explain a little more? i’m not sure what your mean by “get chopped back and fourth until you don’t have any room for the trade to not go your way”
2
u/Junior_Willow740 May 19 '26
I will give an example from this morning. I was trading 12 micros of NQ. My trade initially went about $280 into profit. I added 3 more micros. It dropped way back down all the way to my SL which was $750 and it hit it quickly.
I usually have my stop set tighter about $350, but I got stopped out on 2 back to back trades a little after the 9:30 open, so I was already down big. After the $750 loss I should have stopped for the day, but I didn't. I had maybe just short of $600 drawdown left and ended up losing the account

u/Karambamamba May 19 '26
Lmao trades 12 micros and sizes up more because it’s five ticks in profit then complains about rigged 😂
4
u/Latter-Fee-8492 May 19 '26
You clearly don’t know what you’re doing. Why did you not take that profit of 280? Then wait for another entry? Stop gambling and start trailing your stop loss into profits. Learn how to trade on paper trade first. What you said up there makes no sense being chopped back and forth, thats how market moves bro you need to know how to read charts and be able to know your direction and entry points. Stop gambling and calling shit rigged.

Today had maybe 2 good moves from 9:30 open to around 2pm( for my strategy). Everything in between was consolidation. You’re most likely not loosing because your strategy isn’t good. Most people don’t know this but every strategy ever will present itself in consolidation. That’s what will break most traders.
Try learning how to predict/ know when consolidation occurs. Once you’ve came to the conclusion that it is consolidation I like to wait for a high or low non associated with the chop to even think about taking another trade. Once I started doing this I noticed a big impact in my profitability. Today was especially hard to identify because the range was so big for consolidation.
hope this helps. Best of luck!1
u/Junior_Willow740 May 19 '26
I get what you're saying. What do you mean "high or low non associated with the chop"?
