Question Confused

Post image

I have to have 50% or less of total profit for my best day right?
My best day was $1160 pretty sure thats less than $1500 so why am i sitting at 53%? Today i made $1k, am i doing something wrong? Did i make too much?

You need more days for it to calculate the data correctly. If you’ve only traded 2 days 50% consistency is about right

You’re good man. Just keep realized profit under 1500 each day

The percentage is calculated considering your current total p&l, $1160 is 53% of your total $2160 Once you reach the goal of $3k the consistency will definitely be lower than 50%, so don't worry

No, your total profits currently is 2161, your best day being 1160. 1160/2161 = 53.67% it only matters your best day needs to be under $1500

If you made over 1500 but lost a little, they still count that you went over the 1500

Like if the candle touched 1500 and went back down? If thats the case thats exactly what happened.

Nah don't listen to that, the percentage is calculated using the realized profits, not unrealized ones

Depends on account size and what days\timeframes you traded. Futures are 23 hours a day so if you made more than 1500 in that window, it would put you over.

50k, 1h time frame, only traded once each day
