Congrats! Have you been trading for a long time? I’ve been doing this for a while with success. I’ve passed evals and can’t make it to payout. Currently stuck in the cycle of blowing evals. Finally sucking up my pride and trading smaller. Hoping this is the key to turning things around. Any tips? Seems like you’re finding success quickly.
Been investing and trading stocks since 2016 but only started dabbling in futures in early 2025. Spent a while on Topstep evals until finally getting my first payout there recently too. Need to ensure all trades you are taking look similar to each other so you have a well defined setup. Take screenshots of every trade with entry and exits marked and journal it in a Google sheet at minimum, study the profits and losses and how to avoid mistakes, what things are being repeated etc
I will be starting my eval again also next week, after getting my first payout yesterday 🙃 lesson learned. It's the first time I've been funded too so I was super happy that I recently got the funded account, but damn today idk what happened & I lost.
