Day 10: had I held onto my trade this morning it'd have been easily a >$1000 using 1 contract to trade for this day trading setup. Instead, I got out for >$200.

My next goal is to figure out how to hold onto winners longer for day trading setups (not scalping ones.) I've seen many times these setups produce large gains for both day and night movements.

I assume you might have found some working strategies helping you to pass these combines quickly and easily. A (struggling) newbie wouldn't trade more than one combine at the same time, unless he is very confident with what he is doing. Might I ask how long you're into trading and on average how many setups do you trade daily?

Thank you for your participation and keep up with your good works. Congrat btw.

p.s. I hope this journal won't mislead newbies about how easily it's to pass any combine or making money through trading because it's not. This is a real tough business for anyone to get involved in and it's not suitable for everybody.

Day 11: winners = 3; losers = 0, PnL = $685; position size = 1

Comments: as long as I followed my trading plans, my trades turned out to be fine most of the time. Meanwhile, my E2T 75k account balance reaches new high this time.

Have a wonderful weekend

Excellent job and congrat again.

From what I'm aware of, you'll save money from monthly professional data fee $100 and NinjaTrader's monthly subscription fee $25-$50 if you trade under LiveSim first. Once you make >$5000, they will convert your sim account to real account where you'll begin to pay those fees. They'll also setup your funded sim account faster.

Just tell them to setup your account under LiveSim first if you want to save money in your pocket.

Good luck and keep us posted to see how you're doing. I'm more than happy to see you're doing well in funded account.

Are you also trading with real money in your personal account the same way that you're trading with E2T account? I'm just curious to know and you don't have to answer this question if you don't like.

No I知 just trading these funded accounts. I知 wondering if they have a disclaimer about posting on social media about the funded account. Also I知 probably going to trade live immediately. I want to start taking small profits as I make them.

I've no idea either. I don't believe my previous post would cause any harm/damage to them and I'm okay to remove it if E2T wanted me to. Also, I don't think they would care about posting your PnL in funded account on here as long as you're not making any serious allegations about their business model. You might ask them about it and give us their feedback if you can.

I'm not planning to take any small profits from funded account, if I can make it, until I've accumulated enough profits to allow me to increase position size or scale up.

I'm definitely taking the small profits. You don't want to realize zero and blowout. Always smart to take something along the way.
