I also lost my FTMO challenge. It was the equity stop loss in the EA. I can still continue the challenge but I do not want - it will take time to recover todays stop loss. I don't give a damn not pasing the challenge. After some months, I can sign up for a challenge for cost which I don't see significant.

for me either..... can't figure what is keeping r2k up > 3% for the day...... 3%..... while the 100 and 500 best stocks are falling.....

thought i was going to be working the storm this week in texas so i followed you buying the 150k evaluations just to have something to do while working.....

didn't get called for texas and almost lost those evaluations today.....

keep expecting them to dump the r2k and buy the nq and mes......

don't look so good.....h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

respect , you are more successful then 99,99% of all traders will ever get. 100k is already a very high Paid second income additional to your regular job.
how high are the tax rates in your country for prop income?

the tax situation for prop is maybe more strange for trading , losses from one year you cant compensate with wins from other years because its income tax , or is this different?

Yeah, I get it.....but you are clearly good enough to grab $200 a day, copy accross 30 accounts at apex, topstep, takeprofittrader and you're pulling 6K per day.
Can't argue with your success, I just wouldn't be able to handle the ups and downs....I like slow and consistent.

this are the 2 ways. i am also like you, i would prefer 1 million percentage over 20 years timeframe over fast and rich risky ways with many up and downs.
both ways have advantages and disadvantages. maybe we die before 20 years are over .

Today I also got fooled again by randomness. A simple foolish mistake of removing the stop loss before red news which, assuming its effect would be normal, and then forgetting to put it back on. As a result, floating losses reached around 10%. The account got stopped.

A deluge from the Bank of Japan

The new account is only 5 days age in effective trading, with a meager 1.8% profit. Fortunately, the purchase price of the account was cheap, $62 (for a 10k account).

Then, if the loss is already 9% nearing the 10% limit, it's also challenging to overcome the challenge phase.

A thousand and one other mistakes can happen to anyone. So now, what next? Buy a new account or reset but profit is not guaranteed. Rinse and repeat.

I stop trading my apex accounts when all the system issues started. I think I haven't traded them for 3 or 4 weeks (that's the advantage of having paid the lifetime, no pressure).

Is is already safe to go back to Apex with Rithmic ? What has been your experience in terms of stability of the system.

ah ok, this rules for "no taxes because for no personal use" we dont have in Europe. so its much less favorable in Europe because you would lose 42% (at least in germany) or even more because you increase the tax for job income too (depends how high is job payment already) and cant compensate with losses of other years.
