Today was not that eventful, waited over an hour for a pay but it paid out. A few funded accounts were up and one was down by not following my rules.

What’s going on so I don’t know it was mostly I feel like it’s a boring day today for the most part like we did get a couple moves um you know early on we got some moves but uh you know I waited through this and then played the up and then it just kind of chopped from like 11:00 for an hour and 30 minutes I waited for this up candle to get close enough to this pivot point for me to play

It to the downside and that was my big move of the day um that was it I I there was ton of chop in here as you can see I stayed out of this I might have played a little bounces here and there um but yeah I played this downside and then that was pretty much it couple things here and there um I got this eval today uh 700 away from passing it and you can see the trailing draw down is

Pretty solid uh this funded account lost because I was doing stupid stuff um I thought I was in an eval and I didn’t realize I was in a funded account and then this is my other funded account we’re up 223 today um yeah and then I end up smoking this eval um I guess I’ll just do all all my uh Recaps in one I got bullox um my bullox account is up 46 9 today um go to show you how much

Commissions were taken out I was playing minis today I was playing micros today and I was playing a lot of micros and I think it was just eating up my commissions um but my account balance currently is uh 51 621 another th000 bucks and I can request a payout and I got trade like five more days I think it is so hopefully I get a payout there um I’m waiting for two other accounts to become funded uh they just take a

Couple days to get back to you to they approved one and I’m waiting for it to go live and um the other one I’m not sure what happened to it but they said they’ll get back to me in a day or two so I’m just kind of waiting I’ll message them tomorrow um and then I have a my top step account account which they’re running the deal right now it’s like 19 bucks um one of my accounts was up 275 it’s

An eval which brings a total to 50, 630 and then um the copy trading accounts all three of them are up 137 each and then I had two that I hit the threshold on the downside so you know they’re evals so I kind of play a little bit heavier than I should and play plays that aren’t great um so yeah I hit two two that are down and basically tomorrow I am going to be looking to uh to slam them with

Some you know it’s either evals when they go down about a th000 bucks uh I either got to make the thousand bucks the market closed no that I either got to make that money back or um I just smoke the eval because it’s an eval and right now they’re only $19 if they were $37 or 50 bucks I’d probably treat it a little bit better but at 19 bucks I don’t want to waste days of trading um on a on an

Eval that’s down to make it back slowly I’m either going to you know so those two eval accounts they’re either going to be up 1,000 bucks tomorrow tomorrow are they going to be smoked um and that’s pretty much it uh I just you know I look at the cues if you look at the q’s today you know not the best of candles we gapped up kind of sold off closed near nearish of low of day um I would love to see

A pullback of I don’t know a couple bucks on the cues and then kind of re-evaluate from there um so I don’t know we’ll see what goes on but uh yeah I mean that was pretty much it kind of like a mixed day um I’m glad my two funded accounts are up the other one took a a hit and just keep working for payouts so uh yeah if you’ve been following along be sure to uh you know like the video subscribe

If you’re not subscribe I I do the Recaps every day I’ll be trading live soon and you uh definitely don’t want to miss that so yeah and that’s pretty much it hope you guys had a good day and uh see you guys tomorrow
