To be fair, prop firms are having issues with Forex because the major platform is banning US clients now. So now I'm testing into a Futures trading firm. 100k account size testing is going well I'm almost 1/3 to the profit target.
However I only pay 40 bucks to take test. Once I pass there'll be like a 220 activation fee. First payout you can withdraw a max of 2500. I say this to mention risk/reward. I'm investing very little to make a potential ton.
It's odd I just up and jump from Forex to Futures overnight however I already had a working system trading forex and I just trade the same similar instrument over on the Futures side. You need a working system and you need to size down.
One thing that started working for me when i was trading in the stock market was to make the switch to CASH account. It really does force your risk management skills because you start to divide your size up especially trading actual shares. Even if you still want to trade options, they settle overnight and you can trade options daily!
I hear you. Breakin bad habits is hard but so important. Journal is a good way to see where you can improve. Discipline is how you then actually can improve. Letting profits take precedence over process is something I am struggling with too. I force myself to bring it right back to basics, studying and trading very small size when I become undisciplined.
Yeah been there done that. The struggle is real
