Recovery week — small, boring, one trade a day.
UPDATED AFTER MON AUG 10, 2026 · ACCT TDFYG50553798057
Read first What Monday cost
−$1,354 from three broken rules
The market wasn't the problem. The sequence was.
- Was up ~$700 and didn't take it — plan said take $500–600 and stop
- Took a second trade after the loss
- Daily loss limit closed the account out at −$1,354.56
- Placed orders late again — the levels exist by 9:27
The one line to remember
Paper-trade wins and "I would have won" do not spend. Only closed trades count.
Step 1 Finish the eval — this week
Need +$729 · only $645 of room
Thin margin. Trade like one full stop matters, because it does.
- 3 contracts max. 30 ticks = $450 at 3 contracts
- ONE trade a day. Win or lose, close the laptop
- Both stop orders placed by 9:29, brackets attached, hands off at 9:30
- Hit +$400? Done for the day. Two green days finishes this
- Stay above $50,270.96 · daily loss limit $1,250
Step 2 Funded — build (fresh $50,000)
About $600 a day × 5 days
Extra eval profit does NOT carry over. Account resets to 50k.
- Reach $53,000 balance
- 5 days each over $150 profit
- Best day under 35% of total profit
- Formula: biggest day ÷ 0.35 = total profit needed
Step 3 First payout
Request $1,500 → receive $1,350
Then buy Select Daily ($99) with profit, not your own money.
- Days + consistency reset after every payout
- Build past $53,000 first — a full $1,500 out leaves only ~$1,400 of room
Scorecard Grade every trade — 1 point each
Did I do it right? Not: did I win?
Answer these 6 after every trade. Yes = 1 point.
- Did I look at the chart and know what was going on before I hit buy?
- Was this my setup from my plan — not something I made up?
- Did I wait for price to hit my line — not guess it was coming?
- Did I know my stop, target, and size before I got in?
- Did I leave the trade alone and let the bracket finish it?
- Did I stop when my rule said stop?
5–6 points
Pro. Do it again.
4 points
Review it tonight.
0–3 points
Cut size. Reset.
The big one
Grade the trade FIRST. Write the money down after. A win with 2 points is still a bad trade — it just got lucky.
Hard rules Break one, do the consequence
- No chasing losses — the day ends where it ends
- No trade without the bracket attached first
- Cancel the unfilled side the moment one fills
- ONE trade a day until the eval is passed
- Never hold past your number hoping for more
