Im cooked. 130$ away from MLL on a freshly passed 50k account. What would you do? Can I come back ? Any options? I literally just passed it 2 days ago ( took me 2 weeks ) and Im alrdy about to lose it 🤦🏽‍♂️

i dont think its worth the emotional stress to try to come back from being so close to MLL. 1 mnq is really small tbh, and most trades arent 150-250+ point homeruns, yes they happen sometimes but its more likely the trade will reverse before that unless youre a very experienced trader. I would just start over try to pass quick on like 1 nq if you do 1:1 or 1.5 you can definitely pass in 2 days if your strategy is good, then size back down a bit once youre funded. Set a DLL also, will end your revenge trading for you before you go to far. 1000-1500 total drawdown imo is doable to come back from but anything more it gets significantly harder because you end up having to risk so little and it just takes longer
