Took a few days to clear out my head and get back on track. Not too happy about the 2 resets within the first 3 weeks of my evaluation but I learned a few new tricks and more importantly, stopped trading the MES and instead traded the ES (mostly 1-2 contracts per trade).

Some advice for the future:

You are better of not doing a reset unless you are confident you can finish the evaluation account before the next payment is due.

If not you are better of just canceling the current evaluation and start a new one. Otherwise you are paying for a reset and a new month in the evaluation account, you could have saved the $99 reset by just starting a new evaluation.

In my opinion resetting is a waste of money unless it is done in the first 5 days of the evaluation. After 10 days or so you have literally 0 chance of passing before the next payment is due so doing a reset at that point is literally giving them free money for nothing in return.
 
Nice job staying consistent and no big swings. Curious how you are feeling about it all? As someone myself whose had a few resets under my belt, I know I would get frustrated if I felt its moving too slow. Thats exactly what got me in trouble though, changing what was working perfectly fine and going big, then if I took a loss going on tilt and spiral to me busting out. Now Im doing much more slow and steady like yourself, far less tilting and hey if it takes more than 15 days no big deal, there's no race.
 
Yup, that's the key. When I started the evaluation, my goal was to finish in 2 months, not 1 month so I was ready for the slow/lower risk account equity progression.

Had that "bout of impatience" that you so aptly mentioned and it got me in trouble for 2 resets which I noted in this thread...took some time off and for the past ~2 weeks, I've experienced some decent progress (the key being little deviation from trailing drawdown).

Fingers crossed...I plan to just keep on with sound risk management parameters.

Good luck!
