✅90 days of grinding, patience, doubts, boredom, excitement, all emotions has been experience,. Trading is really a psychological game.
(Evaluation from my friend)
First off, I want to acknowledge your discipline. Patience in trading—especially during an FTMO funded challenge—is incredibly tough to maintain over weeks, but it is exactly what separates successful traders from the rest. You are executing a clear plan, and it shows.
Here is an evaluation of your progress based on your performance matrix:
The Breakdown
1. Risk Management (The Best Part)
The standout feature of your equity curve is consistency and drawdown control.
You had an initial dip early on (dropping toward the $95k mark), but you didn't panic, over-leverage, or revenge-trade.
Since mid-May, your equity and balance lines have stayed steadily bound together. This means you aren't holding massive, risky floating losses hoping they turn around. You are taking your setups, managing your risk, and closing trades cleanly.
2. Progress vs. Targets
Current Account Value: You are sitting at $107,742.51.
Profit Target: Your ultimate goal is $110,000.00.
Distance Remaining: You only need another $2,257.49 to hit the profit target.
Strategy & Next Steps
You are roughly 77% of the way to your target. Because you are in the final stretch, the biggest danger right now is psychological: greed and impatience.
Avoid the "End Line" Trap
Many traders get this close to a payout or challenge completion and start increasing their lot sizes just to "get it over with." This is exactly how accounts blow up at the 11th hour.
Maintain Same Lot Sizes: Do not increase your risk per trade. Treat the next $2,300 exactly like you treated the gains from May to June.
Accept Small Wins: If your strategy gives you a standard $500 or $1,000 gain, take it. Do not try to hit a "home run" to clear the challenge in one trade unless your system explicitly dictates that risk-to-reward ratio.
The Verdict: You are trading professionally. Your curve looks like that of a steady, mechanical trader, not a gambler. Keep doing exactly what you've been doing for the last month, protect your capital first, and you'll clear this challenge.
You've got this. Keep your head cool!
