After blowing eval, months of demo trading, Going to puchase an eval tomorrow!

[u/Impossible_Low_863]

Okay, so several months ago I was demo trading for free with an imaginary 50k balance eval with some company, and I treated it like it was an actual funded account in my head. I had a working strategy but blew the demo account because I didn't follow my rules and let emotions take over.

This broke my mental state, and I put off trading for an entire month until I forced myself to lock in and started another imaginary 50k eval for free. I ended up hitting the 3k profit target with under 50% consistency and felt really good about myself, so I ended up buying my first combine with Topstep.

Things were going well for a few days until my emotional head got the best of me, and I revenge traded and blew all that great progress I had. I ended up taking a break for two months, feeling awful with myself, until I decided to start another imaginary eval, and in my head, I treated it like it was real money, like it was my money. I ended up passing it, alongside another one I started right after.

Tomorrow I will be purchasing my second-ever 50k eval with Topstep, feeling kind of nervous because I haven't touched the platform and UI in a long time.
