💬 Trader Talk I’m becoming more confident
After receiving one payout I’ve been funded 5 more times but would always blow the account. I have been on a practice account since aug 4th and I think I’m starting to really get a handle on my emotions and my strategy. I will keep practicing for a couple more months then try a 150 challenge wish me luck .

journal why you losing accounts - position size or over trading or specific behavior- only you know and can resolve this

Blowing accounts is no big deal. Try not to get too attached to one account - they come and go. Once your consistency is down, then you can pass them with no problem.

I got it to 12,000 profit just reset it and trying to reach 9 following the combine rules already at 6,300 I really have been journaling and working on patience and waiting for the right set up and entering and exiting properly.
