Uhm why not?
Do or did you stay at home from your day job everytime a loved one got sick? And i am not talking about something life threatenig here.

Someone getting sick is fairly common, my mother has been having a sore throat and a cough for a few weeks now, should this also be a reason to stop trading for a couple of weeks?

My son just had some fever and didn't sleep very well so he did not had the energy to go to school. As i have mentioned i was still taking care of my son, however that is not a 24 hour job, at least not with my son.

If someone being sick (again, nothing life threatening) is such a large psychological barrier to a trader so they can not trade well then they might be better off to quit trading all together. But that's just my opinion

Have you received your funded offer yet? My gauntlet ended yesterday (March 11th), and I'm wondering how long they take to send out the offer.

Congrats on a great performance!

Not too bad I think. Max equity drawdown -$800, and ended the challenge with +$3100. Sadly nearing the end of it I flushed a good amount of gains with some brash stubbornness in my decision making, really ended up hurting the end result and punishing my confidence

I received my certificate.
Now i do expect to receive my final offer today.

Depending on your situation it can take up to a few business days.
