Being stuck in eval jail is the worst.
The only way out of it without blowing a bunch of evals is literally getting S2F accounts.
Once you get the hang of it on some S2F accounts you can move back to evals.
Trading is momentum.
Pokemon cards are stronger than the US dollar.
Pokemon is more liquid than the watch market.
Pokemon is outperforming the S&P 500.
Pokemon is the best investment asset in 2026.
Sharpen the sword just for the sake of keeping it sharp.
Thats the way to make more as a trader.
Stop focusing on the money, just focus on improving the skill.
Money is a byproduct.
If you can just stay alive when the market is ranging, you can make life changing money when it expands.
You just need to recognize when market is high probability vs low probability.
Once you can recognize that, just strike when the iron is hot.
prop firms made traders too entitled.
bring back the days where prop firms didnt exist and people had to bust two jobs to fund a 4 figure live account.
then they'll learn how much of an advantage prop firms are.
too many new traders are spoiled and complain
I hate the people who are like "you NEED to trade a live account because prop firms have rules"
hey retard
your paying $50 for $2,000 of drawdown, no fucking shit its gonna have rules for a payout.
dumbasses want to pay $50 and get access to live account privileges.
I took $25k in payouts this month so far, and literally most of it was last week.
All i did was literally long 6pm open with 5 minis and it was just smacking.
You need to become a better pattern recognizer.
If something happens two days in a row, its probably going to do it the third day too.
For two days straight, the low of asia sesh was 6pm open and we wouldn't sweep it until london.
It was free longs at 6pm and hold them until london made a new high then trail your stop.
Once you can recognize shit like that, you can just spam it and make a big buffer on your accounts.
If you were red this week, you learned a lesson I learned in 2022.
Stop thinking you're michael burry.
Stop trying to short the market.
The market is literally designed to go up.
Especially when we trade near or at ATH's, stop trying to short all together.
I gaurantee if any of you look at your trades from when you started, you made more money longing than shorting.
Secondly,
when market makes ATH, it wants to keep going up.
Stop trying to time a crazy short, stop thinking ur michael burry, just trade the trend.
Literally that simple.
After a big week like this is when most people blow accounts.
They see how much other people made, they see how much they made, and they want to replicate it.
Size back down to reality next week and stay alive.
If you had a big week this week, make sure you check back into reality next week.
I was sizing 5 mini's every trade this week risking $1,000 per trade (I only run 10 point stops)
Next week im back to 1 mini risking $200 per trade.
Its going to be a mental challenge, but its necessary
