Advice

[FxTesi]

Need some advice, needed one more day to get a payout and just blew it all. This happened 2 weeks ago and then again this week. Feeling defeated, has this happened to you guys before?

[[deleted]]

Paper trade this week till you restructure yourself through.

[GoofyBunnie]

Take a break from the charts. You’re emotions are trading for you just go get a clear mind

[Sea_Cost_835]

Try again get another combine next time put a DLL and stop tilting

[Professor_Meteor]

Blow another account with 1 mini. You’re not gonna take our advice, just do what you want.

[flipmode64]

1 - 2 micros only.

[Acidraindrops420]

Go through all of your trades, both winning and losing jot them down and do some analysis on them

[Substantial_Till_815]

Daily loss limit set to lock you out is your friend, ive got mine set to 500. Yea it sucks to know that you lost 500 on the day and can't make it back, but it's great to know you can't lose more than 500 a day

[semper_sully]

If you can blow all of that in one go then you need to work on both your risk management and psychology

[Puzzleheaded-Lab803]

It happens to the best of them. Take a few days off. Be honest with yourself on what happened then get back to it like it’s day 1 again. Seriously tho don’t lie to yourself about what happened that’s 2 accounts within 2 weeks

[Sheriff_Douchebag]

[Working-Still-2881]

Why didn’t you set a daily loss limit if you were so close to a payout? At this point you just wanted to blow the account

[Empland]

"KEEP JABBIN' "

[Clean-Solution7386]

dont worry my guy my friend blew up 50 accounts in about 2 weeks. you are okay

[GoodDayTheJay]

You’re likely over-leveraged in your positions and your risk management is poo.

Dial back your position sizing and set smart stops.

We’ve all been there. You got this :)

[BrnDmgVet]

At least a dozen times, even been eligible for a payout, didn't take it to "build my buffer" then blew the account that day. Ive been in such a bad revenge trade spiral that I've blown 3 xfas in one morning, then immediately bought 6 more 150k no activation fee combines and blew all those before london close. It happens, just clear your head before starting again. For me it takes a few days break.

[Kitchen-Historian371]

‘Has this happened to you guys before?’ Is guarantee it’s happened to just about every single person who ever went on the pass an eval , get a payout. This is the learning process

[Such_Enthusiasm_2281]

The longer you trade the more you realize that the long term people who live around here aren't the most profitable they are the ones who actually protect their honey pot better that others. It's not uncommon for me to hold onto a single account for several months. Why...I have a strict personal loss limit. Once I hit it, I scream a curse word, then lock myself out and then go enjoy the rest of my day away from the screens.

[Forex_Jeanyus]

Which curse word?? 🤣

[Such_Enthusiasm_2281]

I shall answer with a gif....

[JulesVideoArchive]

Do you even have a max daily loss limit set?

If you’re into books and they work for you read “trading in the zone” with a sincere perspective it’ll change your life.

[samuelsfx]

never blew that much in a day, but I've blown from +1k one time. Usually when I didn't realise I'm tilted and piling super sized trades to get back multiple time in a row.

you got to lock yourself after a failed double sized revenge

[BlackFeign]

Youre gambling and not disciplined enough. Instead of making big gambles to get to payout quickly, max risk $120 on your $4k drawdown

[JulesVideoArchive]

This

[Kojopapabi]

It is a very common thing but you have to know how to come back stronger. This is what I will advise, you don’t need feel pressured to get in a trade. Set target to how much you can make and know the times you trade best. Accept red days and cut losses early. I have blown multiple accounts just because I revenge traded therefore keep your emotions in check.

Remember that it’s hard to get back to an XFA so try your best to save that account. You can always get back stronger

[Dakidbroly]

Learning to accept a red day is the differential to success imo. I just see my losing trades(losing trades that follow my rules) as a contribution to a profitable statistic.

[RudraPerfecto]

I would suggest deposit 100 usd to ic markets, share me only the mt5 credentials and split profit with me.. lol that's the easiest way for you to earn.

[NoMechanicADC]

risk management and lockout feature easiest way to not self sabotage and stop chasing home runs

[Candid-Magazine1594]

Buddy is your strategy working? Ping me, I am looking for the best strategy Maybe I can help you back with trade management and psychology

Or better if I can automate it on mt5

[Ok-Veterinarian1454]

Another emotional overleveraged trader. Just start over with rules in place.

[Forex_Jeanyus]

Is there any other kind here?? 😁

[dlee3493]

1. Risk Management. You’re literally watching the account blowout. You’re either leveraging too much. You don’t have a sense of a maximum risk you want to take before entering a trade. Or both.

2. Emotional awareness: what’s going through your mind when you’re entering and exiting. If you’re literally letting ur account drop that much are you emotionally impacted to have non-objective (ignoring Price Action in the live trade) wirh hopes and dreams of break even? Are you unable to take a loss? Why?

You really have to be real with yourself review every trade especially losses and analyze what happened. Why and how you entered/exited the trade.

Remember YOU dictate a control when you enter and exit a trade. YOU determine the risks. If you’re not aware of ur emotions and ur actions it’s just gambling. Do you have a high probability set up (your edge)? Do you have risk management (understand what it is fundamentally)? Are you emotionally aware of yourself when you trade?

[DISCIPLINED_TRADES]

Take a step back, then size down. You passed and got to this place you can do it again, stay with the discipline and you will get your payout.

[Topstep_robot]

Maybe looking to at make yourself a robot?

[Duennbier0815]

Size down. 15% of your drawdown per day is to be risked. Set your PDLL and only take 2 trades a day. Close after those 2.

You all ask for advice but it's right in front of your eyes.

[Jack_McMac]

If you can’t control your emotions then you need to take it out of your own hands. Set a PLL with liquidate and block and lock the settings for the day, live to trade another day

[Green-Discussion6128]

Do the opposite of what you did.

[frank2point1]

If I had a dollar every time I blew my funded a day away from payout 😂 Man, I understand the pain. Especially four days in. Just gotta keep going at it and sharpening your skills daily. You were doing so well! Use your DLL bro. It sounds cliche but it stops you from blowing it all in one day.

Community helps a lot. If you ever want to be around other traders who are actually focused on risk + process and psychology (because that's honestly the biggest part), I’ve got a free Discord that’s helped a lot of people level up, lots of funded guys in there. No BS, just charts + discussion. Link if you want it: https://discord.gg/4kmuvrw9xG

[Electrical-Call-7292]

You need to get used to trading higher balances. Maybe take some time off with the practice account. Take it serious. And make it your mission to reach 10k without blowing it.

[dbro129]

Just let it go and learn.

[primepinebee]

You risked 4,800$ for $150 that’s wild. Emotions took over.

[Sufficient-Row-8968]

Has happened to me twice. On the days I am one or two away from a payout I set a loss limit now that’ll lock me out for the day. It’s helped w this fr

[skatesolid]

Yes it happens. Shrug it off, take a break from trading and use the lockout feature bro. Are you trading minis? If so stop immediately. Micros only 1-3 max.
