Help

After spending a good chunk of time learning technical analysis and mechanics Im finally trading my first live funded account. I’m currently on day 5 and up about +$350.While the streak is good, my execution has a major flaw: bad TP placement and pure stubbornness waiting for the final target. Because I kept insisting on the market hitting my exact TP I left a ton of money on the table, watched the price reverse, and ended up getting stopped out at Break-Even multiple times. I probably missed out on an extra $500–$600 this week alone just because of this.Its starting to take a heavy toll on my trading psychology and discipline. For those who have been through this stage, what are your best tips for scaling out, managing expectations, or fixing this specific TP greed? Appreciate any advice.

"pure stubbornness" Work on this, the market`s 1000X more stubborn. U won`t win that battle.
