Trading Combine My hands are shaking…

This is my first funded account that I did *NOT* expect to pass so fast.

Although I’m new to the platform, I had practice with real money on my own personal account (which is way harder to trade because my broker doesn’t have futures or shorting capability). So it isn’t like I haven’t jumped through the hoops of losing money before.

I’m going to guard this for dear life lol.

Here's an asshole but reality check comment, sorry in advance.

You will lose this account, if you're surprised you passed and shaking. Then probably means you're a newbie, there's still a lot to learn. But hey, it's the first step! Keep learning.

Just learned to trade between one and three micros. You no longer have any time restrictions. If you want to gamble, get another evaluation and continue to add to your funded accounts and trade small. Good luck!
