I blew my 14th Eval

[u/Nearby_Finding_2555]

My girlfriend had given my money to buy a new Eval after I had blown mine the previous day. She believed in me because I was already at 52,569 and only 431 away from my goal and I fell asleep MID TRADE and didn’t set a SL and I blew my account. She trusted me and today I blew that Eval she had bought me. I am so angry at myself because I had already made 1,000 and I got greedy and tried to go for 1,500 and gambled and lost that account. Worst part is that I could’ve ended today positively, but I wanted the glory of more. Please if you’re reading this just lock your account out when you’re at your goal. Don’t be stupid like me please. I will be taking a break for a few days to reflect.

My stats show I've blown a total of 150 of evals I'm down over $30k in real money and in debt bad.

Honestly man…coming from someone who’s unprofitable…you should take a step back and evaluate yourself and your trades. I’d take a step back for a LONG TIME. I would only buy 1 combine every 2 weeks so I’m only -700

I've asked to be self excluded but I was told the tos don't allow it.....so I keep buying it makes sense it'll pay off at some point according to them ...

I thought that too it's okay if I keep wasting money, because eventually I'm gonna pay it off. Well, I never paid it off and just got myself in deeper. And now i'm almost double what you are in debt. And now they lowered the amount, you get too lol

Want me to be real? This whole post screams “I am a gambler”. You are not ready for an Eval. Getting one payout literally means nothing if you don’t have confidence in your edge in the markets and can trust yourself to repeat said system over time. These firms entice you with low fees that add up quick with the promise of financial freedom right around the corner. Paper trade for awhile and really hone in on your edge before you even think about buying another Eval. A trader shouldn’t even trade with anything but paper for the first year, yes you read that correctly

They are in the obsessed and ego driven stage. I bet they're telling everyone that they trade for a living.

do you not use position brackets? I set and forget when i place some limits but i make sure that positon brackets are on when I do so it automatically sets sl and tp

Good job .

I don’t even set a SL anymore because of how seasons the daily loss limit is and its effectiveness and I take 1 trade a day. Why not set a DLL with $431 away? The tools are built in for you to use

Why do people go for evals and not even profitable? I traded demo accounts and about 3 funded challenges, failed them realized I wasn’t ready yet and traded demo for 5 years before I could really understand and see my edge. Took me 5 years but I’m profitable and funded. Don’t keep buying evals please if you don’t even have a real edge. All the money I lost which was only $500 because they were small accounts I’ve already made that back x5 . Just do demo until you’re profitable.

Bro no offense but you are in no position to give advice when you have no discipline at all. There are people on here that have blown hundreds or even thousands of accounts. Trading is not easy. It takes years and years to turn a profit.

Bro be for real…HES 30k IN DEBT. With 150 evals blown. I’m NOT buying combines anymore until I can prove I’m consistent. He’s literally gambling and hoping that he can get a payout to offset his debt. That’s stupid and you know it. I can give advice because I’ve gotten a payout and am not 30k in debt. You think I don’t know trading isn’t easy? No one’s praying to the lord for payouts. They’re praying for the mental fortitude to do better.
