Starting point: eval account. Goal: $100k in payouts.
I want to prove that if you follow your rules, discipline is what makes everything work in trading. Documenting every step here the wins, the fails, the lessons. No sugarcoating, just the real journey.
Day 7 Lucid: passed.
Asia session again, execution still a bit sloppy, PA wasn't great and got wicked out repeatedly on a few contracts. But I only needed $300, and I got there.
One eval down, more to go.
NY on Lucid today: +$1,200. Made a mistake though misplaced a trade, then strayed into London when I should've stuck to NY only, lost $538 on it.
Day still passed, just sloppy execution. $300 away from passing Lucid.
Day 6. Picked up another Tradify eval 3 evals running now, 1 almost passed.
Traded the new one in Asia, caught a nice pingpong for +$810. Old Tradify eval also green, +$336. Keeping NY clear for Lucid to push that account to pass.
Day 5.
Asia (Lucid) +$703, NY (Tradify) +$377.50, both 1L 1W. Patience would've avoided both losses. Also fumbled a TP order buy limit instead of sell, left profit on the table.
Week 1 done. Next: patience, max 2 trades, cleaner execution.
Day 5.
Traded Asia today on my Lucid account normally I skip Asia, but wanted NY free to focus on my other eval.
2 trades: 1L, 1W, net +$703. First trade was avoidable, more patience and attention would've saved that loss. Broke the NY-only rule on purpose this time.
Day 4. Lucid +$905 1 trade, exactly the setup I wanted at open.
Tradify -$516 waited for a retracement that never showed, price kept going higher, entries were too early. Held the max-2 rule, lesson from yesterday applied.
Day 2.
Sat out Tradify, jumped into my new Lucid eval instead. Overslept, missed the NY session, still landed 2 trades around 1:25pm both losses, -$675 total.
Not proud of trade 2 especially rushed and emotional after the first loss. That's exactly why I document everything.
Day 1 on my first eval.
NY session, 1 trade waited for exactly the setup I wanted to see, entry followed all my rules. No forcing it, no rushing.
This is the start of the journey: eval → $100k in payouts. Trusting the process from day one.
