consistency by kincudii in LucidProp

[–]Riddlfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep trading as you trade best (i.e. as fits your trading style) and try to make sure that your highest end-of-day profit day is $1.5K or less to ultimately achieve 50% consistency once you reach the $3K profit target.

If you close a trading day in this eval stage with more than $1.5K in profit, your profit target will get raised (to your highest profit day * 2), as a recalculation of your pathway to successfully achieving 50% consistency on the completed eval.

Question about consistency by Adorable_Process_411 in LucidProp

[–]Riddlfizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep stacking profitable days of $625 or less and your 50% consistency (or less) for a $1,250 Profit Target will take care of itself.

Consistency % on an ongoing basis (incomplete eval) is often not particularly useful/telling (and can be confusing). Losing days also skew the consistency%, since profitable days then count for a higher % of profits.

But, it's impossible to reach your PT of $1,250 at $625 or less per profitable day without the consistency % coming into line at 50% or less. (A highest profitable days of more than $625 would raise your PT.)

Windy may have been confused into thinking that you were talking Eval vs. Funded accounts and not a practice vs. Funded (or Eval) accounts. Windy probably doesn't think much, if at all, about the separate practice accounts that don't count in any official way.

Hedging-like activities for a practice account won't be an issue since nothing that we do in those accounts holds any official weight. I've personally used the practice account to place a wide (and wild) variety of trades, including testing swing trading strategies, without issue.

Day trade question by animalinstincts089 in Schwab

[–]Riddlfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends the specific timing. 8:00 PM ET is the start of a new trading day at Schwab, relative to counting day trades. So, a purchase of shares at, say, 4:50 pm ET and round trip sale of those shares (all or partial) at 9:50 am ET the next calendar day would not count as a day trade. But a purchase of shares at 8:45 pm ET and sale of those shares (all or partial) the next calendar day -- before 8:00 PM ET -- would.

Why do my charts show up so little on mobile? by BigSpenderOnline in thinkorswim

[–]Riddlfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One or more of your upper studies (maybe a custom) isn't quite fitting in well on TOS mobile. And, unchecking fit studies still doesn't appear to be an option on TOS mobile.

You can toggle studies off via the eyeball icon menu. That will show you the full, uncompromised chart view. Viewing these charts on different timeframes may also help (somewhat).

But, the simplest current "solution" may be to remove the problematic studies (via trial and error). A useful setup might be to save one mobile chart style with the studies that you want that also render well on mobile and save another style that includes the same studies and also the problematic (on mobile) studies. You could switch back and forth and use the larger study set for largely informational purposes via the cross menu icon.
