At first I was planning to wait it out because I kept seeing people saying BTC was going to drop to $50k or even lower. I thought I’d just wait for the big drop and buy then.
But I realised nobody really knows where the bottom is, so instead of trying to time it, I started DCAing daily. I’ve been buying throughout the $60k–$90k range and just sticking to the plan regardless of the price.
Curious what everyone else did during the drop. Did you wait for $50k, lump sum, or just keep DCAing? And are you still buying now?

Cammer has received 3 insane payouts and attached is the proof. He shows up daily like a soldier ready for war and has deserved these payouts and more. If you want to ask him how he does it then join the daily streams in the discord and find out for yourself!

Simple reason. A small live account doing 0DTE options is basically paper trading with real emotions attached. The math doesn't work for me. You're risking $25 to make $40 on a $500 account. One bad NFP morning and you're down 20%. That makes position sizing difficult for the trades I wanted to take.

The attached July 16 trade history shows SPY calls and puts closing at +$1132, -$347, +$182.50 and +$1186. These are all individual trade results, not payouts.

I couldn’t have taken the same positions on a $500 account. But larger dollar profits don’t prove better trading either. More buying power increases what I can lose, so the room above my drawdown floor mattered more than the advertised account size.

Vanquish’s Advanced Options plan has no evaluation time limit or firm imposed daily loss limit. It still has an end of day trailing drawdown, a 30% daily consistency requirement and a minimum of 4 trading days.

Having no deadline helps me sit out when I don’t see a setup. I also set my own daily loss limit. Being allowed to keep trading doesn’t mean I should keep going after a rough session. Trust me when I say, took a long time to understand this.

Evaluation profits aren’t withdrawable. I have to qualify for a funded account and meet its payout requirements. Evaluation fees and any resets also come out of my own pocket, so repeated attempts can become expensive.

The psychological pressure is different from trading my savings, too. I still need to take the losses seriously and follow the same sizing and exit rules.

For me, this route made sense while working on those habits. Before adding more money to a live account, I want a longer record of consistent decisions instead of a couple of wins.

What made you choose an eval over your own live account? And what would make you switch back?
