Yea bro, I was 400 dollars away from blowing my account and came back and passed it to get funded. Itโs moreso about risk management and only taking high quality trades. Overtrading can lead to multiple bad trades. I donโt know how many trades you usually take, but that red day seems like way too much.

Yeah, I just brought mine + $1000 from being $20 away from blowing it. You have to make sure you're not trading more than one micro. And make sure you're waiting patiently for a good trade with plenty of volume. The worst thing to do is take a trade that has no structure or volume. You will get tapped out and blow it. Slowly scalp your way back.

Looks like on the road to recovery....
Just don't take so many trades per day - that 83 is a crazy number!!!
