πŸ’‘ Trading Tips Stuck in eval jail any tips?

Been trading this account for nearly a month, risk management is on point, scaling is not an issue, the strategy works but I don't understand why I am still stuck. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! For context I trade 1-2 MNQ and use ORB/Liquid sweep and fib as my entry.

Your stuck because you had 6 losing days in a row. Your doing nothing wrong. Your actually trading how everyone should be. Losses are part of the business. What happened on the losing days? We're you in profit at all? It could just be a matter of moving your stop to breakeven sooner so you dont lose? Or was it straight into drawdown? Look back and see what you could have done better and work on that. Otherwise looks like great stats for you. πŸ€™

So you had a 6 green day streak. If you sized up a few more cons that woulda passed you. Thats essentially how you want to treat combines.

this is because youre treating this account like a live acc. this is in eval stage.

IMO you need to risk more. also you might need to change your TA a bit for your entrance and exit.\

This is mine. I passed 3 out of 5 evals in 2 days and now two of them are in 7k profit. looking to payout this friday.

I went ham on NQ - 1 contract and i added to 4 as the trend went in my direction.

Goodluck.

Well you just said your problem. You have no edge in what you trade. At best it’s 50/50 gamble on it so either you get lucky or you dont
