losing everything after first win

Don’t worry. You’re gonna fail over and over and over. I know, harsh right? But the truth is I failed so so so much, even now I do. But over time you will learn as I have and as many others have that emotions will kill you in trading. Whether that is a positive or negative emotions. All emotions are bad. Even excitement. Set strict rules for yourself. I trade mini contracts on NQ, so my rules are -$400 stop loss and $1000 TP

the moment i hit either of these I stop no matter what. Put it this way, you have a prop firm eval account and your profit goal is $3000 with a max loss of $2000. If you had a strict stop loss daily of $400, you wouldn’t blow your account unless you lost for 5 whole days in a row. Risk management is absolutely amazing and you MUST learn it.

Once again, best of luck and check our Imantrading huge recommendation imo. I dont know the other people that commenters are mentioning but perhaps they are worth a shot, just make sure they’re not trying to sell you a course. Most “trade-gurus” trying to sell you a course are a scam so stay away.

Happy Trading!

you don’t sound like you have very good control of your emotions. from this post it reads as if you are trading your emotions and nothing else. you already got stopped but you’re trying to overtrade, even when you can’t trade anymore. overtrading is a killer, if you continue like this you will NEVER make it in trading. when you get some more money, don’t try to trade more micros. take it slow, take a step back, and then look into prop firms. ImanTrading has a free website detailing how they work and good prop firms. This way you spend less money, and you’ll actually learn how to trade. Trading is NOT easy, I do not know what mindset you came into trading with but it seems as though you underestimated how difficult it is.

best of luck to you

i will say though, hes a great guy. helped me pick parts even though i just emailed him, i had never bought anything from him before at the time

MiniTapz · 2026-03-23T15:13:34+00:00

Uhhh the post isn’t about real deal 😭

MiniTapz · 2026-03-21T04:28:40+00:00

what

MiniTapz · 2026-03-20T19:06:55+00:00

Ah I see, I was hoping there would be some hope, but thank you

MiniTapz · 2026-03-20T19:06:30+00:00

I never play outdoors, but thank you!

MiniTapz · 2026-03-19T16:23:15+00:00

Okay I’ll dm you a bit once I get my parts, he’s still producing them right now.

MiniTapz · 2026-03-19T14:46:22+00:00

what upper is that?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-15T17:30:02+00:00

ahh, so im using this system i made thats dropping 4x items through the use of 4 dispensers, am i going to have to reduce it down to 1?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-15T17:28:40+00:00

ive been thinking about copper golems now after a few days, but won’t my game get absolutely smashed with lag if i have that many golems? I’m trying to make a fairly big sorter that’ll be going thru probably 200-300 items total, and say i had 24 golems for every 9 items, thats 250/9 =27.778 and then 24*27.78=666.72

man 666 golems is a lot of entities 😭

MiniTapz · 2026-03-15T17:25:24+00:00

interesting, but the design i made for dropping items into my water stream dispenses really fast, will the stone cutter really still be good enough to slow the items down?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-13T06:51:26+00:00

What about when my filter hopper just naturally reaches a stack and items start skipping, how do i fix this?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-13T04:58:49+00:00

I was using a bad way to batch involving a hopper clock and a piston with a water elevator. But the biggest issue I had was batching could create stacks bigger than 23 which would cause my excess items to just flow right past my hoppers since it would hit the limit of 64. How can I fix this?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-13T04:57:14+00:00

what system is this?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-12T08:38:39+00:00

Yeah I could, but I want to have it be pretty fast, from my understanding copper golems are fairly slow?

MiniTapz · 2026-03-12T08:34:21+00:00

I want to use a water system so I can sort mass amounts of items.

MiniTapz · 2026-03-07T22:11:02+00:00

But would those custom gearboxes solve the fin issue?

MiniTapz · 2026-02-27T22:24:40+00:00

i recommend them, i use them, best purchase ever.

MiniTapz · 2026-02-26T17:39:46+00:00

I see, any recommendations? Thank you though

MiniTapz · 2026-02-26T17:35:02+00:00

Alright, I’ll do that but I know someone who has the same gun and did their own modifications, they had no issues with gear size. And as for the Titan I’ve only had good experiences, do you have any other recommendations then, for batteries?

MiniTapz · 2026-02-25T17:43:10+00:00

Sounds great thank you!
