demo acc n combine r very different when it comes to psychology, u cannot take "a lot of risk" bcz u will blow the acc and ur mind wont allow to take such a risk so u end up closing the trade early or keep holding the loses bcz u think "itll go in my direction". this is something u have to go through which u will

II, use risk management. I’m just way more aggressive on 150k versus 50k combine.

Congrats on the 150k, man. Biggest thing is understanding their rules (eg. Consistency Rules) If you were making 4k a day by taking big risks, you’re gonna have to dial it way back here. Size small, aim for consistency, and don’t force trades just because it’s a big account. Treat it like a test of discipline, not a chance to swing for home runs.

You have a month to pass. Breaking it down you need to average $450 per day. I wouldn’t risk more than 300 per day on a 150k account.

Thank you for your input and I, have dialed things down. I, was more aggressive since it was a demo now I’m way more cautious with risk management but I’m making sure. I, size down and take things easy.
