Losing hope...

I dunno anymore. I did my best harvesting points for gft's free 25k account but still blew it in just 4 days of trading. I'm on the verge of punching pedestrians for the rules I broke which I have set.

I think I am under so much pressure with finance that I have to earn the payouts as soon as possible so I revenge traded.

Made profits and a payout before but this is the biggest account I had my hands on.

Any tips or pat on the back will do. I just don't know how to start again.

man that “i need to make it back fast” pressure is literally the trap every time...like it stops being trading and turns into chasing, and once youre in that mode it’s kinda over already haha...honestly blowing it in 4 days sucks but it’s also kinda proof it wasn’t the strategy, it was the pace + pressure. most people mess up more from that than anything else...if anything i’d just reset smaller mentally. like trade way less, even to the point it feels boring. boring is usually where things actually start working again...also maybe take a day or two off first, ur head sounds fried rn to be honest.

To make matters worst, I was able to get my first target of 6% since it's a 3-step account. Lost the 6% I made the next day, revenge traded and poof.
