Had a solid May and I’m in decent profit for June so far.

Still spending way too much and moving too fast though. If I don’t get that under control I’ll be back in the red quick. I know it and I’m prioritizing it.

Blew my two TPT Pro accounts today — that one stings, because I thought having those as a buffer meant I could finally slow down and stop buying challenges for a bit.
Still have enough accounts to hit my goals and run my plan and secured a 2k lucid payout today. Time to be professional. Control the spend, slow down, and lock in.

@bepotrades Awesome. Good discipline it looks like. What was the breaking point(s)? How did you finally turn it around and trust the plan?

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

Well blew the tpt after payout. Gotta say this one stings. I need to focus on the risk in the plan for the day and not the potential upside. Should have max risked 500 per account not the full 2k on a Friday after payout.

How can I finally learn these simple lessons.

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

I pray to the trading gods for more mornings with this clean of a setup. Who else took this on @NQ?

Finally cleared buffer on a TPT pro account will attempt the "Daily Payout" tonight and see if we can get a streak going.

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@TraderLe Did the same today on tpt. Feels bad

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@MAGNUS_FUTURES Swung big with conviction and hit. Well done. Interested to hear how it goes after the payout and the transition with alpha. Keep us informed if you can.

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@jaycerifit Well done mate now lock in on them and grind a payout and compound from there

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@TacticalT888 Frustrating part of the journey. Resist the temptation to rush through this phase as it cost me 10x what it should have. Go slow and let success compound. You have proven something works now let time do the heavy lifting.

@aw_trades_ @tradecopia Just when you thought you were out it pulled you back in. Way to keep the streak

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

Almost $20,000 from @Alpha_Futures_ in 20 days.

I struggled to gain traction there for about a year. Since the Alpha Trader rollout, it's felt like a completely different experience.

A good reminder that sometimes you are one small shift away from turning things around.

Sometimes the grass really is greener. 📈

@dhesi_trades Such a clean setup this morning

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@bigchartrades Can’t imagine that long of a run. Guess I’m you 3 months ago

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@Oraclecapital__ It is the final boss of trading and it’s not meant to be fast or easy

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@DamnGoodTrading That is the worst. Why do you think copy trading is the solution here?

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@RealizedTrader @JoshuaTrades @Topstep Beautifully said

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

We got this. Days where it feels like the market is gifting huge moves and we didn’t see it right or sized wrong or too impulsive are the most painful. In the long run it’s just a max loss day.

Focus on process and controls to make max loss days less painful and where they are a part of the equity curve we are okay with.

I’m right there with you. Two funded accounts I sized too heavy for the trade idea moving too fast and took a max loss instead of a huge win. Felt complete tunnel vision and spiral after it happened. Happy I am in control enough to not blow everything like I once might have after that. Next session I hope to slow down trade the strategy with correct size.

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@deezus157 That’s a huge win

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@deezus157 Good on you documenting it. Write down rules for tomorrow and success is following them failure is not. Slow down and let success compound

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

@mactrades Nice transparency. I got tunnel vision in the chop too today. Tomorrow slow down and wait for the trade to come

[AncientRipples @AncientRipple]

Been there. Eval detox slow down prove you can sit through the discomfort and the itch for rest of week. Regroup new plan new structure.

Personally building the habit of never buying eval during a trading session only outside hours. There is never a setup that is a must trade that’s the mind playing tricks
