Just when you think you finally have your edge. I was priding myself on the fact that I was going to pass my second eval without blowing multiple a bunch of accounts.
Reality, I closed out my GC position too early, just $54 shy of passing my eval. After I closed it ran another $300.
I then proceeded to blow my account chasing $54 ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ. #lucidtrading #propfirm #topstep
One life tip โ
If youโre all time red in your portfolio, and youโre in the mindset of looking to โmake it backโ, just stop.
If youโre trying to make something back, youโll be in a constant state of psychological weakness and revenge trading.
Trading is literally a lifelong skill. If you get real good, your family, kids, and future generation could be set up forever.
People spend $100K + on University to get a job that will get displaced by AI.
Consider your losses in the market the cost of TUITION. The cost to learn and play the game.
And give yourself a clean, fresh, slate to start off from.
Trust me when I say this is an absolute must.
The more you try to make your losses back, the deeper your hole will become.
@bcherny@a16z@bcherny was right to call this out. Even @sama said these numbers were not true. Insane how much false information is shared blindly without any due diligence.
