Most frustrating day I’ve had in a while.
Solid YM setup but bears didn’t see the light of day. Such strong injections down, both after the sweep/ recovering dd.
Scaled in & pa decided to turn around.
Biggest red day I’ve had in a long time…
1% left in the ac.
Started a fresh @fnfutures 50k bolt account today.
Beaut of a setup but sellers took control then sold off from the highs. Not the start we wanted but all probable. Back again tmr!
A W today but lost the funded due to being auto liquidated on the pull back as actual entry was slightly up on rejection due to bad fill.
We have had 1 successful profitable cycle so far this challenge…
Time to start the next one tmr! Let’s get Eval->Funded->Payout
A probable loss today…
Solid loss but unfortunately risk was 2/3s minimum out of my dd room.
Have 60usd in the account left… only option is to full port it on a solid MYM setup next and try get that dd room to 200+.
Otherwise it’s not looking good…
Absolute beaut of a setup on NQ today however risk was too much for me to endure on 1 con w the tiny bit of room I have left on the 25k. So had to watch this one play out instead. Nice to see the model firing on all cylinders again.
Let’s see if we can get one more this week…
1 & done for me today…
Wish I kept holding this beaut, however needed to recover Dist to DD room on the ac. Got 2 trades of room now so still tight.
Plan is to be as selective as possible and protect the already 6.5R we sitting on for the month. Then we should recover the ac!
After securing the payouts I shot myself in the foot. Misread the rules around the max loss limit and ended up thinking it reset to initial balance (24k) and not initial ac balance of 25k.
Anyway started today w 250usd in dd.
1 Probable loss later and we have 1 left in the ac
Now just taken this on NQ to put us heavily in the green on the week!
Should be payouts secured.
This week of trading I’ve really capitalised on the market. Recovered all my dd and losses from May and on top of that have put $500 on the week.
Let’s keep the ball rolling
Wednesday -
A big W on NQ. Wanted to see the bear move play out since open, however buyers really tried to take us back up.
There was a long position there, but pure intuition had me sized up on the short and it paid off.
Back again tmr. Up about 3.5RR on the week
Tuesday -
A big win on YM and a Loss on NQ. Ended the day green but not by too much.
YM solid setups back into CC. NQ also was a super solid setup, however price was again at all time highs so not surprised we edged the high then dumped…
Been hectic so here’s the recap of the week so far…
Monday we took a solid W. We had quite a hectic sell off so wanted to see bulls at least trade back to mid range of the high before reversing.
In the end we took the high but I got my piece of the pie in this scenario.
Solid setup on YM which didn’t manage to play out.
Probable loss so no problems there. We are trading fully aligned to the model and that’s what matters🫡
Started session today with a banger W.
Could’ve held into the low as we were strong enough, but recently shorts have been more risky and the win rate has been sitting low. Decided to get out w a decent piece of the pie and not take the risk to the full low.
In YM shorts now…
The tides will eventually turn in NYC and we will get those payouts and scale, however I’m using this eval to “controlled test” London, and to also see what the results are with higher risk…
I’ll update every so often on this ac, as NYC still remains the main focus!
Recently market hasn’t been providing for me in NYC session…. And as I come towards the last leg or 2 of this 100 day challenge, I need to improvise, whilst keeping the consistency going.
So I’ve been observing London and have taken it live on a 50k Alpha Futures ac.
Day 69 -
Took a loss today, was looking for that expansion lower. Fortunately was sized lower due to market holiday.
Back again tmr! Let’s try end May strong
