Opened my first prop firm account for the first time. Monday-Thursday I did amazing and made $3000 which is half the profit I need to pass eval. I seen a major sell off but thought it wouldn't affect my set up. The setup is sweep of liquidity then watch FVG for change in state of delivery. Today was hell. I seen my setup and took it and lost money for the first time. I immediately thought the market owed me money. So I kept trading and trading. probably 10 or 12 different trades. Some won some lost. My account went all the way down to $2400 of profit. I somehow pulled off something I shouldn't have and traded NQ mini and started scalping which is very dangerous. My account now sits at $3200 of profit. I learned that the market owes me nothing and that if it's a A+ setup and it doesn't work, it's nothing I can do about it. I know everyone always says it but I guess I had to experience it myself. I would upload screenshots but tradify is slow at updating the dashboard. idk the purpose of this post but yea

I hear cpi and FOMC and certain news days shouldn’t be traded because it’s heavily manipulated. I’d rather take advice from experienced traders than to learn from experience 🤣

I know some people say they trade one good setup a day some trade multiple trades a day. I’m curious as to how many trades you all usually take a day. I want to trade more than once a day because the setups I see are very good setups. But it leave me to question, if I have 1 good trade then later in the day see another good setup happening and try and trade it - am I being too greedy?

Just got my first 100k tradify account I plan to trade futures. How many accounts did you blow before you because funded ?

I just bought a tradify $100k account to trade mes and mnq. I probably should’ve asked this before I got the account.
From my understanding as long as you have one good set up you’re disciplined and your emotions are out of it and you also have good risk management. You can be profitable.

My question is how many of you out there trade with a 9 to 5 job? Is it difficult ? Do you set the trade and walk away then go to work? Do you wake up earlier to trade London sessions (if you trade futures) ? What times do you trade ? Do you manage the trade on your phone ?
