I closed the earlier long trade in profit and switched to short when I spotted the bearish engulfing sell signal encircled in blue. I have now covered my short with profit.

They said my discipline score is "poor" I am guessing it is because of that large $17 loss I sustained this morning. I will try to keep the losses smaller

KEY OBSERVATION - FTMO cTrader Web

I noticed the cTrader web platform delays to load sometimes and it prevents me from taking trades in a timely fashion

All together, this is my P&L for today

My win rate is now 78.5% and my Risk to Reward ratio is approx 1:1.

I need to make at least a $50 profit everyday starting tomorrow if I am going to meet the $500 profit needed to pass this challenge.

NOTICE!!! cTrader Web Platform Instability (I am switching to MetaTrader5 on a New Account)

The cTrader web platform stability on FTMO is very bad it keeps locking me out when I am trying to trade and I have missed many good trades because of this issue. I will have to close this account and open a new one that goes with the MetaTrader5 platform

Platform stability is a major issue with these prop firms

Bro and this is because FTMO allows free trial oh, so imagine what prop traders are suffering. You buy a challenge with your hard earned money and meet very bad trading conditions which are not your fault
