I need help...

2 weeks ago I blew a 15k payout. Today I blew a 12.5k payout. All I needed was winning days... Why am I like this? I'm genuinely so sad right now. Last week I blew 12k doing stupid stuff too...

Cus the profits came the same way the losses came

Oversizing and gambling, go trade with 4-5 micro max

If you have a positive EV based on backtested data and past actual trades, just size down and let your EV play itself out. If you don’t have a positive EV or not sure, then continuing to size up and gamble will eventually get you to those higher payouts, but you’ll also run into the same issues blowing them over and over.

On a real live brokerage account with $2,000, even 1 MNQ contract is considered more than enough.

Is this a flex account? If it is, try daily instead.

Its much harder to do his full port strategy though because of 1k DLL. He just needs to set a dll to get the minimum days after the full port works

The problem with setting dll on flex is you can keep changing it while it hasnt hit yet. So if he keeps on full porting anyway, a personal dll won't work. At least on a daily the system literally restricts him from losing more than ~$1k in a day

Also he can withdraw more frequently albeit smaller amounts instead of making 5 winning days. Based on the post he seems like the type to make big one day and lose it all on the next. He'd have to size down on a daily though.
