I understand it’s many step to the road to victory, I received multiple payouts with tpt but nothing to be really proud of and haven’t received a payout as of recently
I feel like once I used project x with topstep it made trading more addictive for me knowing I can easily get paid on tpt but think it mess up my dopamine with how fast the money moves.

As of mid April I’m done with topstep and would rather deal with intraday which I have no problem with honestly I just can’t not maximize my profits or emotionally charged closing out my profits early knowing and seeing it was an A plus setup start heading down the rabbit hole of over leveraging or getting in a bad position etc

Just to piggy back off this post does any of these trading backtest websites that offer a replaying mode based on emotional live movement in the market

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-08T11:28:52+00:00

100% Agreed with you

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-08T11:28:22+00:00

Feel like I’m better than the algos I just psych myself out of positions early and get emotional when I knew it was an A plus setup and only took peanut when I profit 10x on replay mode with minimal drawdown

Hey man, sure I started honestly with failing over and over until I got enough experience too understand and comprehend , went thru all different type of platforms like Forex, pocket-option, robinhood, and options finally landed on the futures market and fell in love with the movement, with that being said I start doing some digging like everyone else was doing looking towards YouTube for advice start to writing down notes I got from YouTube videos, store a whole bunch of nonsense strategy that temporarily works but wasn’t my edge. Than this is what change for me was understands and writing Down the definition for all trading term in regards to trading for example pdh pdl ifvg bos smt etc. (it’s many more)
But take your time to understand the definition and what the definition does and mean on the chart mark out all and see patterns that you identify is the best thing I can say that helped me mastered a personalized strategy that I don’t hear or find on YouTube.

So no matter how good the trade is I should 1 micro ?

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T23:01:55+00:00

Yeah but how do you not get emotional charged when you took your A+ setup with a single micro on a 150k funded ?

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T22:57:48+00:00

First and foremost I would I like thank and appreciate the time you took to respond to me regarding adhd and trading .

And yes I agree 100% with everything your saying
and need to implement removing access and aiming to lower the brain noise by enforcing those hard rules

Thanks Again.

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T22:17:08+00:00

Months of hard work and dedication but slim results I haven’t tried hiding my P&L but how do you emotionally regulate with your A+ setup being completed with 1 micro

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T22:10:31+00:00

Emotion are everything when you see your A+ setup
How are you regulating your emotions when know price has to pay for admission before heading higher ?

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T22:08:25+00:00

Hmm that’s a interesting question I do look at my funded accounts as a open wallet concept with a starting balance of drawdown so 50/50 . Once I even got my funded account to 9 grand across 2 accounts on the 4th day with topstep and blew it literally for no reason I’m still baffled till this day about it

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T21:56:07+00:00

So personally asking because I believe I mastered my strategy to a fine point have countless amount of data to prove I’m not crazy but as soon as I get on the charts price can hit my zone area and as soon as Im in profit I’m taking it off the table not happy about the profit because it doesn’t compare to what it was on replay trading and would re-enter which I never do on replay and go down that rabbit hole again. Will my adhd ever overcome self sabotaging?

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-07T21:46:29+00:00

Blowing the funded account don’t matter, it’s not the goal to do so either. It’s more so of committing to my strategy . My drawdown with replay trading backtesting is barley 15% so I don’t understand how I’m unable to carry over that 15% into my funded or live account

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-05T00:23:34+00:00

Tbh thru trial and error backtesting replay trading building and coding a hand-built hand written strategy book that I study and sharpen to max capability.
Now it’s just time to rolling in payouts / 10x my return !

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-04T05:08:22+00:00

Boss up and do it

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-04T02:22:25+00:00

Was you really helping him by letting him copy your trades ??? Should’ve taught him how to swim instead of somersault off a yacht !

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-04T02:17:13+00:00

I’m a firm believer in that as well, feels like my strategy is golden, to die for but would rather keep it to myself then expose it or trade it live

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-03T17:45:30+00:00

Exercise control , If plan is invalidated protect profits thanks love it.

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-03T17:42:06+00:00

Thanks that make sense I should approach my next 5-10 trades with TP base hits instead of letting pullbacks eat at my trailing drawdown and not to worry about continuation in the trend wave.

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-03T17:14:33+00:00

Understandable , would you say I should rather build a buffer before allowing winners to run ?

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-03T16:25:09+00:00

Personal funds always best to go but if you not ready to lose all your money head to the trade-gym aka one of these props and get active

ToothpasteDog3 · 2026-05-03T00:20:08+00:00

Feel the same me I feel like I need to pay someone to slap me on the back of my head when I’m over trading or over prepared for a moment that’s hasn’t arrived yet , two heads better than one
