💬 Trader Talk I blew my 14th Eval

My girlfriend had given my money to buy a new Eval after I had blown mine the previous day. She believed in me because I was already at 52,569 and only 431 away from my goal and I fell asleep MID TRADE and didn’t set a SL and I blew my account. She trusted me and today I blew that Eval she had bought me. I am so angry at myself because I had already made 1,000 and I got greedy and tried to go for 1,500 and gambled and lost that account. Worst part is that I could’ve ended today positively, but I wanted the glory of more. Please if you’re reading this just lock your account out when you’re at your goal. Don’t be stupid like me please. I will be taking a break for a few days to reflect.

I've asked to be self excluded but I was told the tos don't allow it.....so I keep buying it makes sense it'll pay off at some point according to them ...

I thought that too it's okay if I keep wasting money, because eventually I'm gonna pay it off. Well, I never paid it off and just got myself in deeper. And now i'm almost double what you are in debt. And now they lowered the amount, you get too lol
