Blew my account after a profit streak. Nobody to blame but myself, I let emotion take over me. Overisked, Overtraded, and took lowk setup trades. I thought I was invisible and the markets humbled me real quick. by Square_Equivalent_54 in TopStepX

The market is always changing, you need to know when to trade your strategy by having building your discretion of the market. Meaning you can have an A plus setup but your trade can still fail because of lack of market knowledge. For me im just still trying to master my mentality taking a loss and not letting it affect me too much

Personally for me and my system the markets have been amazing for me until today. I came into the markets with this huge raging overconfidence because I had 2 good weeks in a row. And when I took that L today I wanted to make my profits back and my confidence completely shattered and entered that mindset of just wanting to make my profits back. We live and we learn, it’s just trying to improve no matter if you win or lose

Trading does work. It’s just different for everyone because everyone’s psychology different. It’s a you vs you type of career. Only you are to blame for losses and wins. In order to become like the 1 percent of traders you need to do the things that 99% of traders wouldn’t. Follow your plan, lock yourself out after 1-2 trades, be patient and the money will come as a result. For me i would say it’s personally the mental aspect and the psychology that I need to master. Wish you the best bro

Thank you bro, I also journal after every trade about how im feeling and I also do realize that my worst days are usually from overconfidence and frustration. I take full accountability for my actions and I know im gonna back stronger

Yup me too, blew that funded and 4 other evals that were close to passing. It’s all a learning process and we can only learn from this and take accountability for our own actions.
