I've been at it for a couple months now and I don't want to jinx myself but it may finally all be coming together. I finally noticed the thing that was killing me (the Daily Draw down) and focused on protecting that no matter what.
I decided not to purchase any more evals until I'm able to get my practice account up $10K and maintain that for at least a few weeks. I'm on day 8 and up $7,800 so the finish line seems to be in sight. Of course practice accounts are not as stressful, but I never really set a goal with it before.
Still taking too many trades, but part of it is "active testing" as opposed to back testing.
I pray I'm actually dialed in and it's not just beginners luck. Thank you Kyle for sharing all the education. I'm really trying to make the most of it.
