DAY 1

Unfortunately, my current situation is as bad as I've posted. Actually worse when you consider my parents but that's another story. I've scrapped together some extra cash from my Tradovate and IB accounts and now have a little more than $450. I spent $280 for another Earn2Trade evaluation --...

Thank you for the tough love and brutal honesty -- I'm lucky that I don't have a handgun. Only reason I'm probably alive right now. I also noticed the discrepancies in PNL....the most recent version includes PNL including commission but the previous ones do not I believe. Thank you again...

The pressure has been a killer but I've also tweaked a few things. But absolutely, everything that other people have said is correct. I'll start publishing my stats via tradervue soon to provide stats. I will definitely have to take Q Trader on his offer of assistance. I'm sending my resume...

Ok. One more time. $280 for another evaluation (normal price is $350). I have $300 in spending cash now. LoL.

My elderly parents constantly worrying about their jobless PHd younger son and jobless older son. $575 (extra $75 from my closed Tradovate account) At least I paid rent for Aug and security (which I will now have to use as rent for Sept). Sending out crazy resumes but at this point, I'm not...

It is official. I am officially with no active demo/live trading accounts. Had a nuclear mental breakdown this morning.

My monthly $350 evaluation fee is scheduled to be charged on AUG 6. Which I do not have right now.....That is unless I hit the $9K target this Friday. Not a "reset" -- a monthly renewal of the evaluation until the $9K profit goal is accomplished. I hope this makes sense.

Amazing determination and discipline. Thank you for the kind thoughts. Your 3rd world country mindset is something that I can absolutely relate to. Thank you for sharing.

I still have 3 more days to pass my evaluation before the monthly renewal kicks in. Not the ideal situation but as bad as my recent trading has been. In the past, I would lose personal accounts on the regular, and when I first started with these funder firms, I would reset a few times a week...

I spent so much time creating a trading strategy that I just recently (few years ago thanks to these funder firm evaluations) starting stop brackets so I'm late the game on that aspect. I understand your points.....very valid points. I think the problem stems from looking at short TFs. I'm a...

EOD AUG 2

Another session were my charts told me to sit still but I could not be patient. Total mental collapse....

EOD AUG 1 Blew my small personal account. Moved into a studio this weekend way beyond my budget but had to because the landlord had someone else moving in this weekend. If I do not get funded by this Friday, I do not have enough for another month of evaluation so.....lmao.....hardly have...

EOD JULY 29

I don't disagree with your comments. It is exactly what I would tell a friend/family member. I know myself. I have such bad sporadic discipline that I need this "back to the wall...fight like hell to survive" situation...it's been good to me this round. And obviously, there are more...

EOD JULY 28

I understand and appreciate your comments.

You ain't kidding. I'm on a limited amount of funds right now...a few thousand.....I was unable to renew my $500 NYC apt. (the crappy living conditions for a months whilst here has given me huge motivation and has improved my trading strategy).....need to find an apt this weekend which will...

I know how I am. I have that personality where I need to throw myself 101% at something. It's hard to explain, but this is my calling....my true passion.....as in The Alchemist, my Personal Legend. Trading is the only thing I know that I can be the best in the world at....I'm almost there...
