What’s going on guys so yeah it did not go well today um I had one of my worst days in a while um just real quick we’ll just go over the numbers these two were evals blew them and then uh this funded account was down 150 that’s not terrible because that account is actually 150k account so 150 is really small um then I was up you know 18 165 this one took a big drop I mean big big drop and then

I got this one got smoked I ended up losing this and then uh yeah just a little bit of money in there and then I have a funded account on my computer my other laptop that was down 125 today but all is not bad I mean I’m about $1,300 away from a payout $1,400 away from from a payout in this account um this account is about $1,100 away from a payout this one is about $680 away and that’s not even close

The you know these aren’t even that close so I got to build those up um I smoked two fun two evals today that wasn’t great um and yeah I’m waiting for my bull KN funded to come through I already passed but you know I was down more I mean my big loss today what really hurt me the most I was in on a couple of accounts and um let me go back I got to put I gota like Mouse over to

See where I uh where I took it I think it was that was one loss jeez I don’t know where I freaking lost lost I thought I lost on um was it on micros I I did it on I don’t even know I thought it was a drop maybe they got rid of it that’s the only I can think of is maybe took an L right here what’s crazy is I went short and we popped and then we had this huge

Down thing I mean just timing just entry was bad um overall like I’m just looking at some of the stuff I’ll switch to a f minute chart um I definitely shorted up here but like you know we were trending I mean this normally is pushed North see these two candles and then we go up into this area you know I thought we were going to get like an 80P Point move to the North and then we got we just rejected pumped

Again and then rejected I mean it really didn’t follow a lot of stuff today I mean that was a pretty good rejection right off the uh pivot point but uh and this was the bottom orb that was a really nice uh bounce but you know I’m just looking we dropped pretty good we came back I mean I don’t know today’s price action we got a lot of movement it just wasn’t like it wasn’t clean this was the cleanest move of the

Day actually was us coming up we hit vwap right here and rejected that right there is one of the cleanest cleanest plays of the day the rest of it is like look you sell through the 200 you pop through the 200 drop through the 200 you do the same thing with vwap like there is no you hitting uh a resistance point it was just not clean but this was a clean right here and then you know you whipped up here that

Was kind of clean but you bounced at the Pivot Point here um but after like the morning the rest of it wasn’t very clean to me um I don’t know it is what it is uh like I said this is here’s the top step account one’s up one got temporarily liquidated I actually forgot I was even in a position to be honest with you um but yeah so I mean tomorrow’s another day I’m going to come back I want to focus

On getting payouts um I just need one good day a couple of these accounts that I said need $1,200 I mean that’s $200 a day from here on out which can easily be done and then from there I just I just take it up you know I just keep keep pushing um just because you have one bad day you don’t want to Revenge trade the next day you know just calm collected say hey just keep to the script keep following what

Was working oh also uh up 95 in take profit Trader and this take profit Trader account is uh almost funded I need about $400 and I’m funded so I’m looking forward doing that tomorrow also other than that that was the day um all right hope you guys had a better day and I’ll see you on the Stream
