Report

Challenge context

Day 17 of the ongoing $0–$10,000 payout challenge.

Recorded executed-trade result

The session records 1 executed MGC trade totalling -1.00R: 0 wins, 1 losses and 0 breakevens.

Forward testing, reported separately

One forward test is recorded at +1.26R hypothetical. These were not executed on live or prop-firm accounts and are excluded from all executed-performance statistics.

Trading review

The review describes committing the available daily risk to a countertrend entry, despite the stated pro-trend focus. It also records a missed opportunity as a forward test instead of treating it as an executed win.

Key lesson

A research example does not offset an executed loss.

Focus for the next session

Use the intended setup and planned risk allocation.

Reporting context

The source describes prop-firm trading activity; funding stage is not inferred where unspecified. These are self-reported journal records, not independently verified broker statements. R is a trade-outcome measure and is not cash profit or payout progress. No payout figure is inferred from these R totals. Results follow the journal/session date.
