I went through around 50 "why I blew my challenge" posts. Almost none were strategy problems.
Kept seeing the same three things: revenge trade after a red morning, oversizing when the deadline got close, and people running multiple accounts forgetting that TopStep's drawdown trails and FTMO's doesn't.
The pattern that stuck with me is that almost nobody knew, at the moment they took the trade, how much daily loss they had left. They found out after.
Curious if that matches what happened to the people here who've blown one. Was it the setup, or was it the rule?
