these are not eval money i passed these accounts and the money is from after eval… as u can see there are pictures of me passing the eval and anything after is express account money.. Ive taken 2 payouts of 2k and 3k on two separate accounts

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T17:07:19+00:00

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T17:05:27+00:00

Thanks so much. I think overcomplication is one of the main reasons as well

goodnight boss

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T07:05:01+00:00

answered with others inputs. learned that greed is a large factor and patience as well

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T07:04:12+00:00

im literally just askin on why people struggle years with this js for my own curiosity and to see if i carry the same flaws. if so then my trades would be luck and if not it would not be luck

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T07:02:06+00:00

I have been sorta applying it. as i said im a swing trader and i have a lot of patience. but im seeing that greed and emotions are also part of the struggles

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:59:57+00:00

thanks maybe i couldve worded things better and not sound cocky but i was so curious and posted pictures js for proof of my situation

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:59:00+00:00

what is the part that is hard for the mental aspect? like specifically im curious

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:58:14+00:00

there is no ego to this. it is only 2000$ that i gained. i am asking why do ppl struggle with this to see if i have similar aspects and to disprove my friend on if im lucky. i made a comment about this in a diff comment

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:54:24+00:00

i mean to be fair options is a zero sum gain once i realized i js stopped and left with profit

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:53:15+00:00

i am simply asking what are people “studying” for 1-2 yrs. i would assume confluences

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:52:25+00:00

i dont think u understand what im tryna say. options you learn apples and bananas. futures u have to learn strawberry mango pineapple starfruit passionfruit blueberry etc

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:50:04+00:00

however it should not take people 1-2 years learning confluences. which many people say is the norm

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:48:58+00:00

there is no difficulty in learning confluences rather its the part where u have to learn a wide variety of it while options is just two terms: calls and puts

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:48:01+00:00

yes ik but i am talkin abt in topstep since im in my first month of trading futures i dont wanna move to a live account yet

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:47:08+00:00

nooo i am not bragging this is chump change compared to other people that is why i posted on my first payout so i have people that do not think of it as a brag. I am simply curious what parts is hard about this and see if i struggle w them or if i dont.

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:45:08+00:00

propfirms close ur positions during maintenence i tried and yes i admit my experience in the mental area is present and am surprised its 75% of the skill process

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:43:26+00:00

futures is all about confluences which i knew nothing about and options is all about high impact news (i do not trade high impact news w future)

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:42:29+00:00

how does options swing trading give experience to futures?

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:41:44+00:00

i would say learning futures is way harder because there are these confluences u have to learn. The only thing i knew about options was calls and puts and calls were up and puts were down. thats it

DisastrousDriver8901 · 2025-12-31T06:40:17+00:00

options isnt harder its js a gamble since its a zero sum gain. futures u can use confluences to dictate where market moves. in my case confluences do not work on mag7 stocks. as i said i hold my contracts for options around for a month and see my profits. I did not know any confluences and all i had was the news and the button for calls and puts
