On September 30th, I breached my evaluation account. I started September with great discipline, but close to the finish line, I lost my patience and abandoned my rules. Here is an honest breakdown of what happened, what I learned, and what’s next 🧵👇

Starting a new Lucid Flex 25K eval

Passed the last one, then blew the funded account in 2 days.
My problem isn’t the setups. It’s accepting I’m wrong in the moment.
So one hard rule: max 2 trades a day. No exceptions.

It’s what keeps me from blowing accounts, time and capital.

Market Structure Update 📊

Price is currently trapped between two major HTF PD Arrays. Expecting consolidation and range bounces early in the week.

Ideal setup to stay extremely patient through Monday & Tuesday ahead of the FOMC catalyst!

Weekly Strategy | FOMC Week 🧠
PML taken last week. Expecting early-week consolidation to build liquidity before major distribution post-FOMC.

Strict discipline through high-impact events!

3/3
The account is still safe (+$359 total, solid drawdown buffer). I don't feel anger—just clarity on what needs fixing. Resetting for tomorrow with strict protocol enforcement.

[OczekTrades @Oczus_04]

Hard psychological lesson today (-$390). I fought the trend, misread the higher timeframe context, and completely ignored my max trade daily limit. Here is an honest reflection on execution, tilt, and discipline 🧵👇

2/3
Knowing when to step away after red trades is still my biggest hurdle. One undisciplined day strips away days of clean execution.

Weekly Recap | Eval Account Update 📊

• Stats: 3W / 2BE / 1L / 1 Small Loss
• Result: +$749 total P&L ($501 away from target)
• Execution: Solid risk management overall. Friday’s final trade was flawed due to HTF analysis error.

[OczekTrades @Oczus_04]

Weekly Protocol | CPI Week

4/4 After a 2-week reset, I’m back with a fresh evaluation account and a clear head.

Grateful for the lesson. Process over outcome, day by day. Let's work!

3/4 During my break, a community member pointed me to the psychology modules of the course.

Studying them over the last two weeks showed me exactly why I acted that way and why sticking to the protocol is non-negotiable.
