I don’t want to go back to work

Money is running out. If I don’t find consistency I need to go back to work 1.03.2026

Week or two good trading and then day or two to mess all up. Its time to breakout out of this cycle. Maybe public journal with daily summaries will help.

Step 1 - get funded by Apex
Step 2 - first payout
Step 3 - regular payouts

On Monday I will restart Apex evaluation.

I find consistency is an impossible target in a market you don't control. Profitability on the other hand is realistic. Have a plan that makes sense to you. In that plan have a set up criteria, and entry criteria and a money management criteria. And above all, stop following other peoples, its just noise. 99% of traders on social media are full of crap, frauds and liars. Good luck

You are right. I need to add - consistency in my actions, consistency in following plan every day, every trade without a fail.

3000 $im dollars needed to get funded. Most likely day one is done. +425.
If I trade later US session I will make additional post.

1) TST long, chickened out of trade bit before horizontal level.
2) BPB long, valid trade but got stopped out.
3) TST long. Didn't like how price moved, too many pullback and decided to close it.
4) and 5) BPB shorts
6) mini TST short. Failed to go higher, level tested 4 times and last test was strong rejection.

US session I focus more on SPX500. Done for a day, +521 $im dollars in total.

1) Not a cleanest BPB short but direction was down. Trailed aggressively, didn't like the sideways move after entry.
2) BPB long.

Done for a day. +355 $sim dollars. US has Bank holiday. It may impact price movement today.
In last two Bank holidays my trading wasn't good.
1) BO long with logical target.
2) BPB long valid but got stopped.
3) Micro BPB short. Plan was to take TST long at (4) actually but got influenced by youtube, toke short and got punished quickly. Watched and wanted to win free account.
4) TST long.

5) BPB short.

EU session.

1) TST long
2) BPB+TST long but got stopped.

Three failed trades.
3) BPB long. Might not be good trade if price trades into the level too much.
4) TST short. Again might not be the good one, price moved sideways and many overlapping candles closely below the level.
5) BO long. Same here - too big move before the BO level.

6) and 7) BPB longs. Exits with close trails stops.
Day continues...

Quite difficult EU session. Start was good but then price started to dance around todays opening price and can't find direction.

8) BPB long 9) is the same trade. I exited from trade 8 by mistake and re-entered. Trailed close again.
Wanted to click copy chart but clicked flatten.

Gym time. I will be back to US session.

US session only 2 trades. Done for day +517 sim dollars.

Pullback long. I saw 3 tails in same level and decided to close trade.

Pullback long.

EU session

Couple of good trades 1) and 2) BPB longs

3) Bullback long
4) TST long. Not a good one. First gold failed to make new high and then I went long into BPB short level.
5) BO short good but failed.
6) Breaout failure trades are not in by trading plan but I still toke it.
7) TST long, bad one again, zooming out 1m chart it was not visible.

8) BPB long.
9) BO long.
10) BPB long.

Lot of effort for +10 sim dollars.
Break. Let see what US session brings.

US session bad trading , too tired ....

First trade good, could have ended day +400

And then only losses and ended day -1025

No more US session trading. EU session offers enough opportunities to make money.
Start 10:00
End 17:00
Lunch break between 12-14

While I was filling private journal I had trading platform will open I saw support holding and price moving away.
Got some losses back. Now I am done. Final result for a day -570

Bad trading. Only 1 trade by plan.

1) BPB long
And then all losers - all avoidable.
2) price did not touch the level, toke just a pullback trade.
3) TST trade but against a trend, straight into BPB short level.
4) lower low from opening price again against the trend.
5) chased trade, entered really late into BPB short trade at the level where target 1st target should be.
6) BO but coming from lower low and stopped out with max DD hit.

Restart on Monday.

Didn't trade yesterday. Started Tradeday evaluation. And then Apex send email "new sales."
I will buy that one too (I like to trade on SierraCharts platform) and trade them parallel.

1) BPB+TST long
2) BPB level and round number 4020 as BPB long trade for me.
3) TST long, but closed as price started to move sideways.

Toke long break. Well re-charged, but this is last trade today.

Bad read at first, mistake, two good trade and profitable day.

1) TST long. I though bigger range is in play. Should have closed or reversed trade at BPB short level.
2) Bad BPB short trade. Avoidable loss, usually when up and down doji's in row market don't know jet what way to move.

3) clean BPB short
4) I though I toke BPB long. Made cup of coffee, arrive back to desk, saw odd thing I am long, price is below entry, who can I be in profit ? When I understood I have made mistake, closed trade right away. And I was luck, made 4 points profit too.
5) TST long, used trailing stop till target was reached.

Most likely I am done for today.

Good start, with 3 BPB trades.

1) BPB long
2) BPB short

3) BPB short
4) TST long, again bad one, toke long info BPB short level. It might be already 3-4 time I do that.
5) BPB short, was okay, 2 tails confirmed level for me. Sometimes I just get stopped out.
6) BO long

Time to re-charge for couple of hours.

1) TST long failed maybe it was because it was 1 minute before London open. But I have also seen that strong move start just before London open.
2) TST long, strong move away from todays low.
3) BPB long
4) TST long.

1) BPB long, didn’t like to stronger candles down and managed myself out of trade,
2) TST long, should have held till horizontal above but as price was close to todays opening price, closed trade bit below it.

3) TST long. As price where in range, trailed closely.
4) BPB long
5) BPB short

6) BPB long, closed because missed the target by couple ticks and reversed.
7) TST long

Step 1 is done. Goal met, tomorrow should be 1st trading day with TradeDay as funded trader.
Journey continues. Working on the step 2 now. On the way to 1st payout.
What I like about these statistics it that realized reward/risk is 2.5
I know that's not up to me. My stop and target is always market structure based.
Sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. Also its up to market to I get paid or not.
