After 387 days (I'm a slow learner) I passed a 50K eval with Apex. Thank you @Kyle Henris and the work of all your awesome coaches for your amazing course and encouragement. Hoping the next 50K takes much less time, but I am not putting any artificial time line on it. Thanks also to the amazing community that has been built here for your encouragement as well. To any one recently starting out: Don't ever give up, don't get frustrated, just follow the good habits and suggestions taught by Kyle, you'll do just fine. On to a payout, and passing another EA.

A long while back, a few of us had talked about doing a group and discussing live while doing some charting. Anyone interested in this?

Coaches and community - for those using Jedi entries, do you stack them (I may be making up terms)? For context, I am entering Jedi orders right before market open, then don't look at them until close. To clarify the question, in this example, if you have separate demand areas (see screenshot), do you put in 3 orders before open so you get filled on some of them? Of course, on bad days this would risk having 3 trades going against you. My risk management allows 10 bad trades before I blow up an account, so I'd feel comfortable with 3 losses in one day, as they give me wins on other days. Or do you just enter the closes demand area one and not get filled on others (assuming I am not in front of the screen to enter others during the day nor to asses whether market/plan structure changed). Thoughts?

There comes a point in every trader’s journey where things feel uncomfortable. Results slow down. Momentum shifts. Confidence wobbles. And suddenly the temptation to change everything starts creeping in. New indicators. New strategy. New rules. But here’s the truth most traders learn the hard way. Discomfort does not mean the process is broken. Growth in trading is rarely smooth. There are stretches where the edge feels invisible. Periods where patience feels harder than pulling the trigger. Moments where discipline feels boring compared to trying something new. That’s not a sign to abandon ship. That’s a sign you’re being tested. The market rewards consistency over emotion. It rewards those who can stay steady when results temporarily fluctuate. It punishes those who constantly reset the game every time it gets uncomfortable. Before changing the system, ask yourself... 👉Did I follow my rules 👉Did I manage risk correctly 👉Did I execute with discipline If the answer is yes, you’re exactly where you need to be. 🚀 Stay consistent. Stay patient. Let the probabilities work over time instead of reacting to short term noise. — Coach Stephen

Let’s be real for a second. You want to trade… But you don’t have $10k+ sitting around. You don’t trust Funded / Prop Firms. You're not sure if Funded Accounts are legit or just another trap. Totally fair. That’s exactly why I’m hosting this session. 📆 Wednesday, February 11th 🕒 3:00 PM Eastern 📍 Skool Meeting Link 🎥 Session will be recorded and available afterwards This is not a hype session. This is not a sales pitch. And this is definitely not “just believe harder bro.” This is a straight-up conversation about Funded / Prop Firm trading for people who are: • On the fence • Skeptical (and proud of it) • Limited on personal capital • Tired of guessing what’s real vs. BS We’ll talk openly about: • How funded accounts actually work • What most people misunderstand (and why they fail) • Who funded trading is for, and who it’s NOT for • Whether this path realistically makes sense for you No pressure. No hype. Just clarity. If you’ve ever said: “I’d trade if I had the money…” or “Prop firms feel sketchy to me…” This session is for you. 👀 Show up curious. 🧠 Leave informed. See you there 🤙 — Coach Stephen
