Overtrading.

Tight rules during the funded stage:

• IF first trade is a loss, get off the charts instantly.
• After - Analyze properly, to see if the trade you took, did truly align with your model.

MAX 2 trades a day - 10am and 2pm.

Do NOT care if trade went to TP or SL, that’s part of the game - not every trade is gonna be a winner.

Control your thoughts - and do not focus on P&L - You can look at P&L after the trade is over.

• Still, manage the risk you’re putting on - During funded, no trade should have more than -$200 stop loss.

Remind yourself, that LOSING is part of the game - and controlling losses is how you win.

Being prepared.

Every single morning, DO NOT wake up at 10am and come into the market trading right away - YOU need some form of a morning routine to properly prepare mindset and get ready for the day.

• Wake up at 9 - Wash your face, begin to feel awake. Get your brain started.
• Look over Weekly, Daily, 4H - all the HTF to understand your bias for today.

Applying yourself to current market conditions.

IF price is in a difficult area, BE prepared to not even trade, you need clear DRAW and bias for a trade, without it, we are trading against the market.

BE OKAY with market being difficult - you’re not missing out on anything.

Completely REMOVE any background noise like social media or other traders during your time trading, this affects you and you don’t even realize it.

STOP RUSHING.

I think the biggest issue for me, is feeling rushed, like I need to get a payout ASAP.

UNDERSTAND, that PROCESS > OUTCOME. If you just follow your rules and stay patient, you will get paid quicker than you expect.

Market does not owe you anything, you have to work hard to take what you want out of it.
