An evaluation does something to your head that a demo never does. There is a target, there is a clock running in your mind, and suddenly every trade feels like it means something. That pressure is where accounts die, and a short trading meditation is how I keep it from running the show.<\/p>\n

The pressure is not really about the market. It is about the number you are chasing. Trade the process instead of the target and the whole thing gets a lot quieter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The target is not your job, the setup is<\/h3>\n
\n

Here is the trap. You look at how far you are from the profit target and you start sizing up to close the gap faster. The target starts making your decisions for you.<\/p>\n

Your job in an evaluation is the same as any other day. Take good setups at honest size and let the number take care of itself. The firm is not testing whether you can hit a target fast. It is testing whether you can trade without blowing up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TRADE THE PROCESS<\/span><\/p>\n

The target is an outcome, and outcomes are not something you can click. Setups are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
