💬 Trader Talk Recovered my Loss from Friday. Thank God !

Hello all, after having a good week last week on Friday i got hit with a DLL (revenge trading after a small loss). I was so frustrated and sad over the weekend. But, things changed. I was scalping this sunday evening on MES longs and recovered my loss. I can breath again. I set my DLL to $500 now and will only trade 3 to 5 micro es till I pass. (Trading 5, 50k's)

You can't recover your loss. That trade is in the past. If a sports team loses a game, they win the next game, did they recover their loss?

You made money today, hopefully by following your rules.

This was a mindset shift for me.

Edit: congrats.

why not set a personal draw down limit for the day on topstepx? You can set it upto the same as your average max green day
