Full-time IT. Dad. 1–5 MNQ after work. Honest recaps. Blew a 150k TPT. Not financial advice.

Work-break tape. This is the leak. MNQ +$383. MGC +$85. Flat. TOS on a break.Same window that blew the Lucid 25k yesterday. Rule I wrote down: 2 MNQ, $200 stop, after work only. Green doesn’t make the window legal. After-work session is still the only one that counts.

Didn’t trade last night. After the Lucid 25k work-morning blow, the rule is the session, not the chart.2 MNQ. $200 stop. After work only. Friday cash open is the same trap as Thursday.Account stays flat until I’m actually at the desk after the job. Anyone else sitting the open on purpose this week?

“Blew a $150k TPT. Blew a Lucid 25k this morning at work. Same mistake both times: I traded the session I wasn’t supposed to be in. 2 MNQ. $200 stop. Day job stays.”

Lucid 25k Flex. Manual lockout. −$1,013 on a work morning. 9 trades / 18 contracts / 3 winners $62.50 made. $1,013 lost. Longest trade: 57 minutes while I was supposed to be working. After-work rules I already wrote down: 2 MNQ, $200 stop. I traded the cash window instead. That’s the blowup. Not MNQ. Account’s done. Day job isn’t.

Chart from 6:26am. That’s not after-work. That’s me splitting attention with IT. Size and session were both wrong.

Cash open, not my normal after-work window. Size stayed 2. After work tonight is flat unless the $200 stop is still the rule in my head.

After-Work MNQ, day 4.No US data today. That’s not a green light.Rule stays the same whether I get the cash open or only the last hour: 2 MNQ. Flatten at $200. No makeup size because Sunday was quiet in my head and still −$614.If the first trade is sloppy I don’t take the second just because I have a screen.Not advice.

Clocked the day job in my head and still treated this like after-work.Lucid Flex. Midday MNQ. 4 trades, 8 contracts, +$109.50. Flat. Lockout. Sunday I sat in a −$614. Today I left.Kids, IT, one 25k that already paid $690. I’m not trying to turn $109 into the next check in an afternoon. I’m trying to still have an account when I get home tomorrow.2 MNQ. Done at $200.Not advice.

Day session — had the morning free. @TradingLucid MNQ 4 trades · 8 contracts · 3 winners Gross +$208 Winners +$223.50Locked out after. Flat.That’s the 2 MNQ rule actually used, not written down after a red night. Tape ran 30670 → 31040 then gave some back. I didn’t stay for the whole push.Not my normal after-work window. Same cap anyway. 2 MNQ. Done at $200. No extra size because I had extra time. Not advice.

Lucid Flex 25k LFF02558489800004One payout already: $690.25 (Aug 16). Paid.Now: Balance $25,302 / $25,100 Profit −$387 Min profit days 2 / 5 Daily min $100 EOD drawdown. No DLL.That’s $202 of room over the start line after taking the first check. Next payout needs more green days and I don’t have a lot of tape left to be sloppy.After-work rule this week stays the same. 2 MNQ. Flatten at $200. No makeup size.Not advice.

New account day one = half size. 2 MNQ on a 50k. Same as a 25k. Green last week is not a reason to change that. Not advice.

Added one Lucid Flex 25k. Not two. Not copied. Internal cap 1–5 MNQ per account. Week one: 2 MNQ. Stop $200. Tradeify live paused after −$614. New firm isn’t a make-up week. Not advice.
