I got disqualified from the TFT competition yesterday due to my irresponsible behavior by breaching the daily drawdown rule. 😳, honestly I have been in severe pains since yesterday because I had high hopes and expectations of myself in this competition only to be cut short by my indiscipline. once again I broke my rules of not trading out of my session because I taught I saw a really tempting setup, and I lost. secondly I have been researching on how to trade news and found some good results in my hindsight studies so I decided to trade the news yesterday, although I was bullish on the USD and bearish on my specific markets I trade (EU, GU, gold and US30), I was anticipating the news to favor the USD of which it did. As soon as the news was released, I shorted GU, gold and US30, boy o boy, price moved in my expected direction and I was feeling like a boss thinking that I have finally cracked the markets. my euphoria got into my head. while I was waiting for target to be reached, price reversed and hit my stoploss on gold and GU. I was very livid and I threw all caution out the window, at that moment I forgot all the warnings that the elders have made here and every other trading advice that I have read over the years which I thought I had integrated into myself. I thought the market gods were just manipulating the markets as usual and I shorted GU and gold again and then I removed my stoploss on US30 (a very costly mistake). I had wining trades on Tuesday and Wednesday trading US30 and I felt like I have mastered the beast, oh Jesus, US30 doesn't deserved to be called a beast but a monstrosity monster 😭😭😭😭. US30 began to rise and then fly and then soar.... I prayed for her to come down, she refused, I begged her to come down, she said no. And then I did something very stupid, I began to will her to come down, how arrogant of me to think I could control the markets with my will. And then surprisingly US30 submit to my will (or I thought so) and she came down to my entry. I foolishly did not close the trade, because I thought the storm was finally over, meanwhile GU and gold hit my stoploss again. I did not bother, I was just praying that US30 should just go in my direction of which she did and I was finally thinking alas the worst had passed. Then the tsunami strucked before my eyes, US30 began to surge up again and I was just watching like mumu, hoping it will still come down but it never did. It kept on going up until I finally decided to kill my hope and close the trade with a $4k loss. I didn't even know that TFT had already sent me a disqualification mail. after closing all the trades, l lay down with a throbbing pain in my chest and feverishness all over my body. I realized that my expectations were cut short, my hopes were dashed and I have to wait till next month for another opportunity. ICT always says, if you don't open your eyes to the markets, you will open your ass to the markets, brethren, I confess that I honorably opened my ass to the markets yesterday and they did not hesitate to give me a resounding smack. Alas I will continue to trade my TFT account even though I have been disqualified, I will focus on making back all the losses I made by the end of the month with strict risk management, hence I have decided not to risk more than 0.5% per trade. To my fellow noobs on this thread, honestly risk management and discipline is the holy grail of trading. I don't care whatever strategy you are using to trade, if you don't have strict risk management and discipline, you're is just a few moments away from being wrecked.

Lastly I humbly submit myself to the elders here for any tongue lashing, warning, criticism, ....... I welcome them all.

Boss, e reach to get serious.
Like i do say, to win a giveaway account or win with competition is not too hard. To keep the challenge account to withdrawal phase is the real deal. Many people gets an account here or some other platform, blow it then come back here soliciting for more. It's same cycle.

Until checks and balances are being ensured, there won't be any change to the competition and giveaway accounts..

It is what is. Though, I believe some do try to keep and trade as safe as possible but most I bet treat the accounts as such, "free".

I thought you traded just EU & GU. Where did gold and us30 fall out from..

Donsheddy:


We know say you no go still trade slow 😂😁😁

I'm considering modifying the competition rules. Moving forward, only committed and serious participants will be allowed. To be eligible, participants must have an account age of at least six months and a history of activity on the thread. A request to assess their qualifications will be necessary before extending an invitation.

While the competition results can be made public, the primary method of joining will be through invitation. The competition will run for three months. To qualify for a $10,000 challenge, participants must achieve a minimum of 10% profit, and their drawdown (DD) must not exceed 10%. Additionally, they must actively trade for a minimum of one month to be eligible for the prize.

We will utilize a Darwinex $10,000 demo account, which should be linkable to my FXBlue account. However, I still need to confirm whether the demo account will expire within that three-month period. It's important to note that Darwinex offers lower leverage, allowing only a maximum of 0.1 lot size and a maximum of two positions at a time. Participants must be willing to adhere to these rules if they win the challenge account; otherwise, they will face a permanent ban.

We need to stop playing. Our play don dey too much.

Take profit is at $30.00, this is where I'm working on now, leaving my trade to run all through till it hits TP. Whenever a trade has moved close to 70-80% of my TP, I close trades only to find out most of them hit the TP that same day and the rest the following day or thereabouts.

We are still work in progress though, we can only get better.
Other trades are yet to be activated, if the market doesn't come to us; we won't go to her either!

This is just un-called for. You are now descending the slope of reason. Keep to the thread's purpose which is to share trading setups, ideas and calls aimed at helping traders improve their trading skill. It is an unwritten constitution of the thread.
