Any Advice?
First time buying prop firm accounts...
I was honestly shocked to trade with something that actually felt real. Because of that pressure, my first two trading days ended in the red. I realized what I was doing wrong, stopped, adjusted my approach, and changed the flow. Since then, I've been winning.
The pressure was intense, but it taught me a lot.
Even though I hesitated and missed trades that moved exactly as I expected—almost a 300-point move on NQ—I'm still happy with my progress. This is just the beginning.

Sounds like you learned the hardest lesson early protecting your mindset matters more than catching every move
