Yes, you can indeed. It was a recent addition, at the last platform update.

Yes, discipline is probably the #1 skill a successful trader requires. Far above anything else.

You belong to the 95% traders who think alike. But, you can always change your bad habits. Market discipline is very important If you want to be a successful trader. If you can control your Fear and Greed, learn how NOT to force a trade and create a good Strategy you will start seeing some Gains. Good luck.

BTW, What the F* is going on with Gold... rate cuts will get Gold in the $3000 area. Exactly what Bank of America predicted.

Its not that easy. 10 years of bad habits. I can control myself for a couple of days and follow my system and make money then next day i will kill my account on a single trade. Open another account and do exactly the same .

then you only need to learn to find sideward market and you are fine. work with your habits and dont change it. just recognize it and trade matching to this (so trading to your own character type). solutions in trading are often simple.

{quote} Not really if we make a more extreme example (which may be the case for swing traders). Picking you example: If balance is 102,000 at start of day, your balance/equity cannot go below 97,000. = 5k static If balance is 102,000 at start of day and equity is at 106,000 (4K unrealized profits), your balance/equity cannot go below 100,700.
Unless its a balance based drawdown account, then it can go down to just above 97k before busting the daily dd limits.

I was like you before.... Just a suggestion dont look for home run trades everytime.... ONce ina while when you have golden setup do it ... otherwise day trading base hits the way to go.... IF market selling (then on any retrace sell) n vice versa i.e go with the momentum pick your breadcrumb.... The moment i started doing it improved my profitability.....

While discipline is important, long-term profitable trading requires more than that as it is a performance-based endeavor where you are not paid for your hours but for results. The highest level of discipline won't do you much good in trading if there isn't a working plan behind it. On the other hand, the most profitable trading plan is of no use to you if you lack the discipline to execute it correctly.

I know you guys are going to give me a bunch of crap and that it's probably a waste of money but I am going to try a challenge from the 1 month old
Fortunatraders FX Prop that was starter by Andy the supposed most banned prop trader guy. Already some crappy reviews on trustpilot with no payouts.
I am not endorsing this whatsoever but will report back after my money is wasted. Trying 10K for $43. Worse news rules in the industry at a 16 minute blackout period for funded accounts! I am prepared for all of you to swat my hands with a stick. As a US trader this seems like one of the only Forex Prop Firms available that isn't confirmed scam. Rules seem clear if you read the entire website. EOD drawdown. Plus this guy is 25 years old not 12.
I am going to copy trade my personal FX account since they use Ctrader and I don't.

One suggestion what's work for me, and it was discussed here in past. Buy smaller challenges, and trade them different days. I buy only 10k even smaller. Currently had 3 funded accounts, ftmo, the5ers 5k and alpha. Only ftmo paid twice, all challenges gone by now but profit from ftmo was much bigger than cost of challenges anyway. So for example instead building 100k account buy 20k few accounts. You hit daily loss on one, no problem. Next day you start and trade second one, leave old one, do not revenge you come back later to one in loss. Somehow it works for me, but everyone is different, got different expectations etc.

Great thing about gold and indices, you have correction now and then, but can't go wrong with buy and hold. Great for swing trading, obviously cannot do that with the props though.
