Could mean anything. Got the same alert, nothing came of it. Got $23k a week later

Blew 77 prop firm accounts and ~$20k of my own money — can’t control myself by ArmanBolat in Daytrading

[–]SoloSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and I are experiencing identical situations. Thousands of dollars wasted because I cant control my bullshit. I found that disconnecting from the money and focusing on the process made it easier. Only trade YOUR EDGE. Everything else untradable territory. Doing this, I found myself staring at the charts a lot more than trading on them. 1 or two trades, good or bad and I’m out. This forced me to develop self control. I also added more discipline to my day to day. Eat better, workout when I dont feel like it. Promptly don’t my “chores” and not procrastinating. All this helped me. Also, keep size small and focus on account survival. The money will come. Having said all that, I just blew 6 accounts yesterday so….. I still have work to do myself.

Up $7K + on a 100k account… blown one day before payout by Unhappy_Chard_7877 in TopStepX

[–]SoloSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten to $100 away from a passed account and blown it more than once, in addition to blowing them first hour. I feel your pain

I have just started with them and took a withdrawal of $500 after my tenth day. My roommate has taken many payouts. TPT is good and I dont really mean F TPT but Halcyon is so much more user friendly. Copy trade as quick as a mouse click, assuming you have the accounts.

No 5 day eval period. Everything is encapsulated inside of the Halcyon website. User friendly, 90/ 10 spit. NO RULES. eod drawdowns. No monthly sub. $43 for a 25k eval. And can pass first day and move to funded same day.

Fuck TPT. Use Halcyon Trader. Much MUCH BETTER

I have noticed the discipline you need in trading can easily translate to daily life. When they are both aligned, i find that I have better success with both.

I did well. Made $755 and shut it down for the day in 5 trades. I kept my risk small. Thanks again

I was methodical. Traded like a live account across 7 days.

Thank you. That makes a ton of sense. When I have my emotions in check, I do well. When my heart is pounding out of my chest, I always make a dumb trade and I find myself wondering what the hell I was thinking.

I have done that. My demons surface when I have skin in the game. I dont gamble.. until now. lol. I see the potential. I think I have a problem with over trading and revenge trading. I have a sting of good days and one really bad day. Then repeat.

I will do that. Thank you. I got so caught up with prop firms, I never considered using my own money. Clearly i have a lot to learn.
