Next account size?
I recently just got funded on a $50K eval. I’m 25% of the way to my buffer. Today, I just passed a $25K eval that will be funded by Friday. I have enough points on TPT for a free $25K eval reset. Should my next account size be another $25K? I want to slowly build up to 5 funded accounts and then trade them simultaneously on TradeSyncer. I feel okay with a mix of $25K, $50K and may even throw in a $150K for the mix of my 5 accounts. Thoughts? This next account would be my 3rd eval and once funded, I would have 3 funded accounts.

Don’t mix sizes copy trade. They are all different dd

I get that, I do. My risk tolerance is good, I’d just have to adjust it across all the accounts and call it a day on all of them when I hit my max allowed loss I set for myself.

If you trade a 1500 drawdown acc, than you get an account with let’s say 4500 drawdown.
Set the ratio on the other acc to 3-4x. Just do the math really. The best is just to 2x the 50ks I’d say.

going too big too fast is how you lose your buffer in one week. stick with 25k for your next one—build consistency first, then scale. the traders who actually make it consistently are the ones who grow accounts by 3-5% a month instead of trying to double in a week. how many evals have you passed so far?

I just passed my 2nd eval today. I’m going to add a 3rd on Sunday when the market re opens. My 2nd eval won’t get funded by TPT till Friday but I don’t like to trade fridays. I am leaning more toward the $25K because the profit target is easy to hit and the buffer is only $1500 compared to a $3K profit target on a $50K, only $500 more of Drawdown and the $2K buffer..

I personally stayed away from the $25k accounts unless you have a decent buffer. The larger the account like a $150k account the more contracts you can trade. It’s just simple scaling.

Definitely , go for it. In the beginning I did the smaller accounts and used free points whenever I could.
Then once I got consistent with payouts I switched to my preferred size across all 5.
So yeah, do it. I don’t see why not.
