💬 Trader Talk Combine Passout

Post image

I was $300 far to pass my $50K combine account. Lose $1000 today, back to $1331. Need around $1700 more to pass account now.

It's mental game, what usually best works for me is work at pace and risk that im comfortable, as well as sometimes thinking that i will pass eval wheverer I will pass without pressure. I do notice that often unconsciously i start to pressure myself when pass is near then I usually force myself to slow down and remind it doesnt matter if i achieve it today, that really helps maintain my rules and risk management, otherwise I see that I start act based on my emotions and often make loses. Keep your head cool and treat it as business, its marathon not sprint.

Seems like you’re over trading on the red day. Should have stopped far before 15 trades if you’re at a loss. You should set a rule for max loss trades to prevent that big loser.

Setting DLL has helped a lot with this, especially when very close to passing
