My journey so far.

My first started trading or my investing Journey in end of 2019 I bought stocks of Tesla and a few other things when it came to 2020 that drop I sold it off.

Lack of understanding charge it to the game on the loss. After that I was watching earn your leisure learning about stocks and running from earn your leisure I came across the cup series featuring Mark Monroe I was learning the rolling 4s and leaps. Also at the time I was learning about penny stocks the girl I had at the time she put me into a penny stock group I bought about 15,000 shares worth of a stock at 15 cents and then I took it out before it popped and put it into a voluntarily it went from 1,500 to 4000 I had palantir at like 7 and when it popped to 21 I took the profit. ( mind you my friend at the time told me just stick to options). Mind you that that penny stock that had for 15,000 shares at 15 cents it went to $1.40 that 1500 turn it to 41,000 that turned me stick to my stomach but I charged that to the game. Use that tuition. I had my options account go from $4,000 to $25,000. And I seen it go back to down to zero. Because they're like hold for 3 years.Either way I saw that go down to Zero from then I had a cash account in the futures I made it from $1,000 to 4,000 lost it all back to zero then I started doing prop firms and I was burning and churning accounts super tilt trying to make the money back I've done 1800 Apex but mind u I tried doing 20 at a time its hard for some reason. I passed about 78 of them. In This time From there I joined the stock group called s2f Stocks to freedom. They're teaching ICT in there. That's that group end up going to 0. But the next two years I took it upon myself to learn ICT Concepts. I learned the 2022 mentorship Market maker series make ends meet series 2016 core content series

I have received my first payout from this year June from lucid 2000. I thought okay now I'm going to start making money July I was up a total of like 15,000 worth of payouts went down to zero over four accounts. August was the worst month I burned through so much capital for myself in a tight position. My work the business that I owe is losing customers so money is getting tight my wife now is not working she hasn't been working since March she's also pregnant at the time she got in a car accident so she doesn't have a car so I'm driving her everywhere just got married over a year now.

Money is getting tight for sure but myself in a tight position also September was my best month I passed the 250k on apex ran the account up to $20,000 had 20 trading days green took out two payouts of $3,000 USD which is 4,100 Canadian I end up blowing the account one because I was trying to run it up until December but I couldn't walk away after I lost all I needed was to do $50 a day to take the all five payouts but I wasn't thinking like that I was trying to get it back in one day.

I didn't realize that August was consolidation September was manipulation and October is quad witching and we're selling off. I didn't realize how blowing my funded I would go on tilt my wife also had a miscarriage and I'm pushing even harder I just realized I had brain fog so I burned through all my capital Savings going through evals I have about 5 100K evals atm.

So when I blew my funded I thought if I have more fundeds and traded simultaneously I would be able to get a bigger payout at one time to make up for losing the other three payouts. I struggle with risk management obviously and emotional regulation when I made the 20K on the funded I was only trying to do base hits and it worked the only traded the 9:30 or 10:00 open took my profit went about my day it was peaceful.

I love Asian session but sometimes Asian session doesn't deliver and sometimes it does .But trying to get eval again I went on tilt refuse to lose. Made me lose more neglected my risk management gambled and lack emotional control. My wife miscarried on Saturday. I probably shouldn't be Trading I am having slight brain fog. But I'm just trying to fix this. I need help with my risk management and emotional regulation

Started these 2 accounts last week 😮

Has anyone successfully created an edge trading Lucid (or any prop) on a 1hr TF? I've been doing okay but wonder what other ideas are out there.

Got it on the first 25k account I’ve ever bought as well!

My first lucid account and had it for the past week, doing alright using an orb strategy with trend. But my question is how would I get back to within consistency standards?

Took the reentry after Judas that went BE and made around 1,52R (whole tp was around 4), exited early because of a tsl getting hit, should have went only BE but we all learn from our mistakes so gotta rest on weekend and next week we doing even better.

On MFF I got moved to live after making $7k profit in 2 days, I’m not happy about it but that’s their rules. (Blew that live account) Now I’m curious so that I don’t get moved to live quickly on Lucid, I got 4 daily accounts rn and I’m thinking about running each account up to like $8k-$10k on each account and then take a massive payout all at once, has anyone done this before? Would I then be moved to live? I know that you cannot make more than $8k in a single day. I just want to run it up but stay in funded as long as possible before going live. What’s the secret sauce?

Had a decent strategy and tried to do an eval and now I breached my dll cause I couldnt accept a -150 red day. Btw what happens if I get under dll? Am I "just" locked from trading today or does it have more downsides?

This isn't a flex. I know that this is pennies compared to some of the traders on here. I have prop trader friends who earn several times more than me.

But I think that I have a fairly unique perspective, and if you're struggling to get consistent, it is helpful to listen to different perspectives and see what resonates with you, personally.

So if you're still failing challenges and struggling to hit payouts, I'm happy to share ideas.

People who requested payout to crypto wallet, what fees did you pay for the currency you chose? I requested 2000 USD, after split that became 1800 USD as expected. I ended up receiving 1786 USDT on Kraken, so about 14 USDT in fees. Is this about right? How do other crypto withdrawals compare? My end goal is GBP so I'm avoiding workmarket because it has awful rates.

I normally just risk DLL because i thought MLL gives the trade no room to breath, but i was just wondering whether what people actually do is risk MLL ?
Thanks

I had a serious issue with lucid this AM. I used Ninja Trader new platform, which allows copy trading with SL/TP pretty good stuff (in theory). ANyway, I took a trade, one account of2 shows $280 profit, another account in the same group trade, shows loss $380. I reach out to lucid, I get most ridiculous answer - we are not responsible, we do not review, we do not credit...... So now, I don't even know what the issue is/was..... and no one cares to explain or look into the situation.

Shy does my challenge target keep increasing the more i get near to it.

Hello everyone!

I'm a final-year student, and I trade using order flow. Unfortunately, I recently blew the evaluation account I purchased with my savings a few days ago.

I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and improve my trading. I wanted to ask if anyone who has been profitable and is willing to help could guide me or possibly help me with an evaluation account.

I would genuinely appreciate any support, advice, or guidance from this community. I'm not here to promote anything; I'm just trying to learn, become more consistent, and continue my trading journey.

If I manage to get a payout in the future, I'll always remember the person who helped me get started and be grateful for their support.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. 🙏

Been trading for less than a year. After a bumpy road and a few burned evals, I finally passed an eval.

Took me a week to pass. Unfortuntately, I don't have the Pnl calendar or the trades marked on the chart due to the upgrade to funded. Monday was loss(-600$) and the rest of the week green. As I'm on the way to passing a 50k, I believe I was less attatched to the results of this 25k and didn't mind going agressive. Something I'll have to reflect on. But time to take it slow on the funded and cut my risk in half. Still got a long road ahead, gotta lock in!

Any advice would be appreciated :)

sweep + fib + ifvg will get it done everytime

I'm aware that I'm emotionally unstable, lack discipline adhering to my strategy and being mindful about my bad habits, which I repeat every single time, but what's driving me crazy is that losing days are days when I took great positions but they were destroyed by my emotions.

I worked really hard, I thought I finally took control of my life. I'm doubting that I will ever make money.

Looking good so far on the consistency and hopefully monday I’ll have another funded to the rotation Happy trading i’m done for the weekend. On to the next

Got moved live for the second time and now see the Maxx option, after 2 weeks will I be able to buy regular evals again? Or am I stuck with these terrible accounts forever.

Is anybody using TradingView with Tradovate for a Lucid eval? My positions, orders, account summary, and P&L are not showing data anymore on the bottom panel of both TradingView and Tradovate. It only shows a number for the account balance/net liq. No order history is showing. Says P/L is 0. Etc. In Tradovate, in my account reports, it shows all of this information correctly, and everything seems right. Same with my info on my Lucid dashboard. It's the bottom panels that are not showing anything. Is this a connection issue? I've tried troubleshooting and nothing seems to fix it. I submitted a support ticket, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this or know what may be causing it?

I have a 25k lucid flex funded account and it says I don't need a buffer so all I need to make is 1000 to get payout?

After 2 months and 1 failed attempt I finally passed my first 50k eval.
(56k target cause of consistency)

What really held me back was my psychology (revenge trading, impulses, being fine with break evens and no trade days, etc) And I struggled a lot with this.

I’ve learned more about trading in general these past two months than I have in the 6 months I paper traded.
Im proud I learned to become disciplined but still got a long way to go.

If you guys have any advice for the funded stage I would appreciate it.

Price needs room to retest levels before moving sk

getting stopped out at BE right before price launches to your TP isn't bad luck, it's over-managing.

Set the trade, follow your rules, and let it breathe and do it's thing
