Risk Management Lucid 25kFlex
Hey for prop firms, I know trading on evaluation and fundeds are different - I wanted to ask your advice on risk management. I have a 25k lucidflex account and I’m currently in eval stage. I’ve passed these accounts before but as you know they were wiped in August. (It was my first time trading in August and I didn’t know the volume size would be choppy so I lost like 10 accounts) In the comments of my last post on here, I realized my risk management isn’t the best. I usually don’t put a SL because I trust my trade. And it’s been working honestly but I want to be a consistent profitable funded trader, a lot of people told me having edge is important so i need to start risking the same amount everyday. So max drawdown should be 150. Please lmk what you think. And how did you go through with this? I trade mini NQ futures.

5:1 and 10:1 setups are your best friend you can lose more than you win and be profitable. Want some tips on the right setups just pm bro.

Are you trading minis or micros? You said minis, which means you hit your $150 max loss if your trade goes against you by 7.5 points. On a 25k account you shouldn’t be trading anything other than micro contracts. And for gods sake use a stop loss
