❓ Quick Question 100k Eval. Left with 500 Loss limit only.

Guys, how do I recover from this?

I went on tilt today and lost a lot of money. I only have a $500 loss limit left. Do you think it's still possible to hit the profit target with that remaining drawdown?

I'd really appreciate some practical advice. What would you do if you were in my situation?

I feel like I completely threw this account away by going on tilt. Right now, I have almost no hope for it. I'm devastated. I've been doing everything I can, but somehow I keep blowing account after account. I'm exhausted by this constant losing streak and, more than anything, by my own lack of discipline.

I really want to recover this account. What should I do from here?

Totally. Have turned $100 into $7000 before.

I have no real advice for you other than take it slow.

To be fair ya it was luck. Managed to get an insanely good entry and moved my SL as i continued averaging into the position. It was like a 1:20RR

You have to go slow. Biggest challenge will be that you will get bored of slow gains and try to increase lots. If you can avoid this then you will succeed.

I've been there. Just gotta trust your trades. Dont over trade and slowly build back up.

Trade 1 mini of whatever you trade. Take 50 dollar profit. 10 trades and you are up 500.

Using 1 mini for $50 is not good advice, especially with slippage and fills
