❌ ($456.50)
❗️ I’m glad I’m not actively trading because I would not survive the drastic 150+ pts 5-mins candles.
⚠️ 5 Business days before funds deposited are available - so I should be ready next week, aligning with contract rollover.

❗️ There’s something wonky going on with the P/L day calculation. No active trade yet while I wait for funds deposited to settle. I added 1 Micro to my existing swing position.

🔴 ($2,578.40) on ThinkOrSwim
🔴 ($8,328.68) on NinjaTrader
💰 YTD ($9,414.53)
❗️ Three years of chasing break-even on Props is over. I’m calling it a sunk cost and moving on. My personal P/L in 2025 covered the loss.

🔴 (572) pts - "Worst" Trade
💰 2 Loss
❗️ The potential & burden of the (25) Funded accounts became too heavy to handle. 2026 was the year that I get to Payout, or end the pursuit of prop firms
❗️ The 3-year Prop journey ends today
❗️ Moving forward, Personal account on ToS only
