Stuck to my rules. Took my entry too late. Told myself let it hit TP or SL no matter what.

Funded account blown. Onto the next.

@JD_Futures Thanks JD

Paper Trade for my strategy.

This is the trade I was supposed to take but I tilted and traded before I was supposed to.

I would have made close to $400 in profit today on my funded account. Lesson Learned.

At this moment, it's a battle against myself. I need more discipline.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

@jc_futures_ Thank you JC

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Absolutely tilted today. Broke every rule I can come up with. Trying not to let the mindset of "Is trading even for me" sink in.

I hit the DLL. The funded account is not blown yet. But I need to take a breather or it will be.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Squeeze has set up. Watching for an entry.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Been waiting over a month for My Funded Futures to give me my payout. Anyone else having problems with them?

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Something someone said on here really stuck out to me.

Everyone can take a trade, but not everyone can tell you why they took that trade.

I wrote that down on a flash card and stuck it above my laptop. Because I want to drill into my head...

"Why are you taking this trade"
"What set up to make you want to risk money"
"Is this within your rules"

Because I am one hundred percent guilty of just pressing that buy or sell button and the trade has nothing to do with my strategy and rules.

📊LucidFlex 25k Funded Account Journey
🗓️Day 3

I started the day off bad by giving the market my money first.

Emotions: FOMO and Greed

I took a breath and took a really good trade at market open when I saw it chasing the 4H. I could have ended my day at $160 in the green, but I gave back $40 because I got greedy wanting to have more profit.

For the rest of the day, I will paper trade because I rather take my $120 in profit then give it back. A green day but a horrible one. Will come back tomorrow with a stronger mindset.

Remembering that today is a lesson.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

I hate weekends. Ready to trade again.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Always hold yourself accountable.

If you don't follow your rules or if you don't have any, you will tilt every single time.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Today was green. But it was a hard one.

I placed a bad trade earlier and I realized it was a FOMO trade. So, I sat and waited for London Support and Resistance strat to set up and it did.

I had the perfect entry and the perfect exit.

Going to call it a day and start again next week.

LucidFlex 25k Funded account is now sitting at $278.

Lucid 25K Funded Account Journey
Started today, November 5th.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Lucid 25k Eval passed in 4 days.

Only lost 1 trade and that was Tuesday the 3rd.

Moving onto Funded.

I'm finally starting to feel normal again after having a baby.

Remember consistency and discipline is key!

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Saw the dump into the 4H.

Took a 1 Micro trade.

Only needed $394 to pass the eval. Eval passed.

Only took 1 trade today. Hit SL at $409.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Catch the dump into 4H

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Remember the market is open all day long.
You don't need to rush a trade just to be finished early. Don't risk your capital if it is not an A+ setup!
Make today a green one!

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

@JD_Futures Same to you!

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Watching to see if it will set up a squeeze and hold.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

@JD_Futures Sometimes. I use two strategies at the moment. One a Squeeze strategy and the other is called the London Support and Resistance strategy. Both from JoovierGems.

[Zay @ZaylenFutures]

Not a valid set up for me
