Trading as a business
I have been trading futures for almost 2yrs. I traded stocks, forex, and crypto before that. I've done limited options trades. A couple months ago I as given notice with my employer as part of a larger staffing reduction. Thankfully, they gave me the time off with gap pay and severance - a miracle really. This has allowed me to focus on trading full time (While looking for other work). Markets being what they are, I am having trouble finding new work despite a stellar resume as an IT professional. I have warned my family that trading is likely my new full time job. I have passed more than one challenge account, and then lost them. I currently have one funded acct, and several that are about to pass. My goal is 20+ funded accounts trading at $200/day target. That is much more net than any job I have ever had. I am also teaching this model to my children.

@Kevin Bott When I say "warned", I am letting them know this is a business, and it make take a little bit to get the cash flow going. Passing an account isn't enough. I have to build the buffer into the SimFunded account too - because that is what will be pushed to live later. I do NOT want to get into the funded space and then lose it after one payout because I took a max payout without enough residual buffer. I want my buffer space to be the max the propfirm will transfer to live if they have that rule (Bulenox does). 4K/day is an easy target as it is not 4K/day, but 200/day per acct. and targeting 200/day is generally doable. (Unless I over trade). I try not to think about the gross, just focus on the one account and copy trade to the others where I can. For instance this week, between trading about 1/2 the Asian market, and then the pre NYC market I was up $600/acct. At this point I should have stopped... That was Tuesday... Tuesday did not go well... I over traded, looked for things that weren't there, and the ranging market hit back hard. At +600 I figured why not 1K, then I can not worry about it the rest of the week with my anniversary coming up... Well, that kind of thinking was a mistake.. I should have stopped, and I knew it. My own fault..
Physiology & Psychology: Mastering the Hidden Tell in Trading
Physiology & Psychology: Mastering the Hidden Loop in Trading Most traders think their edge is all about charts and setups.But your biggest edge might actually be your nervous system. 1. Physiological Signals = Unconscious Feedback That faster heartbeat, shallow breathing, or even your watch buzzing to check in those aren’t random.They’re your body’s way of saying:👉 “Something feels threatening here.” It doesn’t always mean the trade is bad.It just means your unconscious doesn’t feel fully safe or aligned with it.Most traders ignore this or try to push through and that’s when impulsive exits, revenge trading, and second-guessing take over. 2. Reframe: The Body as an Edge Instead of treating these reactions as a problem, flip them into a filter. Ask yourself: - “Am I feeling this because I’m breaking my plan?” - “Or am I just in uncertainty, and my body craves comfort?” If it’s the first, it’s a red flag.If it’s the second, it’s a training moment: practice staying calm and executing despite discomfort. 3. Practical Tools to Try Here’s how to start mastering this loop: - Pre-trade reset Tapping This flips your nervous system into calm focus. Shifts from sympathetic to parasympathetic - Anchor a cue → When your heart rate spikes, tap your chest or collarbone or top of your head and remind yourself: “patience.safe, calm, focused,next best trade” -Whatever you come up with - Track the signals → Keep a simple log of which trades give you physical reactions. You’ll start to see patterns between body cues and performance. 4. Long-Term Frame Think of that heart rate spike not as fear, but as arousal energy.The same surge Olympians feel before a sprint.The skill is training yourself to interpret it as fuel for focus not danger. When physiology and psychology align, discipline becomes effortless.And that’s where consistent trading truly begins. ✨ Question for you all:What’s the #1 body signal you notice before you tilt and how do you handle it right now?

Revenge trading is a major issue. I struggle with it, but I am getting better. I blew a funded acct earlier this week revenge trading Tuesday. I knew the day was not good for me, almost every trade went against me. I should have walked. Some lessons cost more than others.
