Guys, am i the only one who has a terrible time with evals? even when I try to NOT rush them , I end up blowing up after a good consistent week. ONE day it takes me to blow everything , and then I tilt for a whole week because of it. I decided now, to go aggressive without any attachments, building a position and hold for a few hours, only trade at extreme levels. any suggestions or tips from pros who pass evals left and right here? I know how to trade but the rules get me every time
You aren’t alone, dude. I’ve been working on building patience and accepting losses, but yesterday I blew it because I used the wrong lot size. That damaged my psychology, and then my mind said, ‘You’ve already lost—go all in.’ Maybe you’re going through something similar: a psychological issue.
What I’d suggest is training your mind with strict discipline and making hard decisions. Everything is recoverable as long as you manage risk. No matter the drawdown, if you truly have an edge, you can recover.
Journal your emotions during trades. Work on them and if you step outside your strategy, close the screen even if you see a setup afterward. If your stop-loss gets hit but the trade followed your strategy, that’s still a win. i hope it helps you. Good luck!

Biggest one, and Monty has reinforced it over and over, keep your daily loss the same as your daily profit...if your target is $200/day, never lose more than $200/day.....in this manner, you can recover a losing day in one day.
To avoid FOMO and/or if you see a setup you cannot resist after daily loss is hit, have a few throw away accounts....these can be cheap evals....accounts that are not part of your main portfolio.

well yeah that sounds nice on a funded account bro, but I'm talking about evals, it's just hard to trade for ''free'' you know?
I def agree with what you said on the funded stage, i just can't trade evals slow.. because even when I try, I end up tilting one day and lose it. The only ones I passed were the ones I traded aggressively.

Passing evaluations ultimately depends on how much you’re willing to spend—how deep your pockets are. If you have a large budget, you can afford to take aggressive risks and try to pass in a couple of days. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn’t.

If your budget is smaller and you want to keep your investment low, discipline becomes non‑negotiable. The reason you’re blowing accounts in a single day is simple: you’re overtrading.

Overtrading, revenge trading—these are guaranteed paths to failure. With real market discipline, a trader can pass an evaluation within about three weeks.

And trust me you are not alone, we all have been there done that.

Best approach i fnd is .... Use 50k accounts..... Just for evals....

Scalp using 1 mini on 1min. charts till 1k profits and then risk whole 1k wiht max contracts to make 1k or lose... If you win then go back slow to pass and if loss then at breakeven close the computer and try again tomorrow

For 50k 2k profit is like a psycological barrier... once you cross 2k profits then hitting the last 1k easier n high probabilities.. Coz your mind will be at ease

Yes, trade small enough so that any one loss does not present a significant dent in your Max Available Drawdown. Place your SL far enough away so that if it gets hit your thesis was wrong. Move stop to break even when price reaches a level of potential reversal. Position TP(s) at further areas of potential reversal and trail. Be patient, give it the room it needs, take more profit if you are right than you are willing to give up if you are wrong.

Exactly about what it takes me......3 weeks. I trade 1-2 micros on 25K/50K evals, aiming for $150 day, with the occasional runner 1-2 days per month.
Another practice is risking 10% of max DD and adjusting it down when needed.
On a 50K with 2500 DD, you can risk $250. If you lose, you need to drop to $225. If you get down to 1000 max DD, only risk $100.......Much slower, obviously, but you won't churn through accounts if you ALWAYS have a 10 loss risk of ruin.
On my STF 150Ks, with 6K DD....you scale that 10% up and down, then, as Monty stated earlier scale back for that last 20% of target.....don't give it back!!!!

Well yeah that's the thing, I just can't trade small. I'm going to keep being aggressive but with more patience.

For my experience, this used to happen when I wasn't very serious about my trading, but when I fixed my mindset, started having a better routine, I stopped sabotaging my trading.

This was pointed out earlier.

The point is that for people who aren't sure of passing, they now have the option to not lose $112 and lose $30 instead.

Tradovate -up $108 after some tentative trading while getting used to tradovate on my iMac. So far so good but remember I am no expert or Monty. I will plod along and see what happens in a couple of weeks.
Only trade for two hours. Now playing with tradovate settings. Still new to me
