Hello dear traders! Since August 23rd I started to qualify in PROP-firm Bulenox. Initial data: - Account $50,000 - Max 7 contracts - Profit target $3,000 - Drawdown up to $2,500 - min number of trading days 5 So far I have done three days of trading - August 23,24,25, 2023. I post screenshots from the data provider Rithmic Trader Pro here. I don't understand well how the drawdown is calculated, but my vision is reflected in the table by the column "unrealized PnL". Why did I open this thread? This is my third time qualifying and on day 4-6 I always have a big minus on my account. When I get a minus in the first trade, I fall into tilt and want to win back, so my entries become completely idiotic and as a consequence - the account is closed by drawdown. So I need to trade publicly these days so that I can be very ashamed of my idiotic entries.... If I will be ashamed, then 90% of the time I will not try to recover for the received minus. I trade NQ futures with one contract and 95% of the time only on momentum in early London or New York (+/- 15-20 minutes from the start of the sessions). Trying to understand the concept of ICT now - but not well understood yet. About the PROP firm - I understand all about them. In the countries of the former USSR they are called by the word "КУХНЯ", translated as "KITCHEN". In other words, everything happens in the kitchen of the PROP-firm, no one takes your trading to the real exchange, and there is clearly a conflict of interest. I would be happy to open my own account with a futures brokerage (such as AMP; NinjaTrader brokerage), but now they don't open accounts for clients from my country and I have to use PROP. If you can suggest a broker, I will be grateful for your help. I am now posting data for three days of trading. Next week I will not trade every day..... Maybe I'll trade on Tuesday or Wednesday. I will try to psychologically set myself up for a positive result. And as soon as the trades will be held, I will definitely post the result here. Sorry for the long message. Thank you for your understanding. P.S. My English is very poor, so I am writing through a translator. Well, it seems to translate everything correctly.
5 Day I passed the challenge, traded for 5 days - all in plus.... Unfortunately no one in the thread said anything and did not advise, so I am closing the thread. But by opening this topic I achieved my goal - I passed. Good luck to everyone. Be safe.
When trading on a funded account, I want to post my trading results here.... If someone is just interested - please write - to post or not to post!
Hey, buddy, If you want to keep a public journal it's still something you do for yourself. So keep at it if you want and I'm sure there will be more comments eventually. Good luck and congratulations on passing.
