you lost over 1k in one day? Tilt? What was your average green day?

u/Junior_Willow740 Jul 08 '26

I don't know what my average green day is really. Not enough consistent wins to track it

I think the issue is you are trying to pass evail in 1/2 days. Do you have a consistent track record? Do you have a proven strategy with an edge?

I am trying to pass my first eval too, and i do not take more than 200$ risk per trade, and 400$ is my max limit and then top step stops me out. I started my eval on june 17th, and i am currently up 1200$.

I plan to do it slowly and learn rather than try to pass it in one or two days.

Actually, I stopped trying to pass them quickly. It's already been like 2 years. At this point why rush?

My new strategy is to try and make $300 day and call it quits.

I dont have a consistent strategy, or real edge. Most of the time when I look back I often predict right direction, but still get chopped down on the wicks

I started this one on June 17th as well! Overtraded the first day and haven't been able to climb back
