Way to Go tradethereaction! Here is mine for the end of the week after 4 days. Seventh time is a charm . The belief of "If I follow my rules, I will be a millionaire" stuck with me last week. Maybe I should write that down.
Should have stopped trading in the morning when I was up about 600 bucks. I kept trying to short this momo on bigger levels initially. Learned my lesson. Never short the momo till we start losing key levels of support (which we NEVER did today). Congrats to those that killed it. I was on the right side and my bias got in the way eventually to try to short. Sad thing is I had a plan in case what happened today happened. Its in my other journal post Ultimate Trading Analysis. But it could be worse. Ended with only -$40 bucks.
I will be starting my 4th attempt in next few days..actually passed on first attempt, was funded but hit max drawdown in first month..so this will be 3rd gauntlet after that..think I realized the problem ..trading wrong products ..now will stick with NQ, ES.. cheers everybody - way to not give up !
Thank you btw. You'll do fine. For me I had to clean up some things in my trading. So far so good. I think I can potentially double this account size if I stay disciplined.
I don't believe there's cost for add'l exchanges during gauntlet..I've beat myself up enough trading wrong products/wrong methodology -- time to rise above it..we've all had our experience in trading and life when we sucker ourselves into a lie or falsehood..kinda like a toxic relationship...the lie going something like - "this time will be different"
They say unless something changes it's insanity- doing same thing expecting different results. You sound like you at least realize that something needed to change and hopefully you will implement those changes to see better results. For me having a mentor made all the difference. I just contacted Alex w/ Earn2trade and he's giving me access now- Thank you.
