Good stuff!
I started my first ever, legacy 50K Tradovate Eval... First 4 days I was only a little in the negative no big deal.... Until day 5...
Valuable lesson - If your stop too small, the limit and take profit will still go through.. But the Stop Loss will reject.... It filled immediately, then turned South before I knew my stop was rejected....
I just couldn't bail out, and kept hoping the trade would turn and go my way... It didn't..
In a matter of about 3 minutes, I'd lost between $800 - $1000, and was super frustrated that I was gonna blow this eval that quick...
I finally hit the close order, Result - $1251.25 lost on a single trade...
And then I traded another couple times to try to redeem myself.... I Failed again...
I got only had $350 of drawdown left.....
So, next day.. I started risking $80 - $100.
Then 150 -200 and am back up to risking $200-250
Im at my 9th trading day, and back up to $51,129.49.....
Still have several days left to try to finish it off... But the process, and the things I've learned from classes have proven themself already...
4 weeks ago, I'd never heard the words Prop firm, or TradingView....
Stick with it, and Learn...
