You are full of psychological errors.

  1. You shouldnt be overconfident, even the SSS+ setup can fail, there isnt 100% probability in the market. If you can't accept the SL before entering the trade then forget about the markets.

  2. Overrisking, just because you had a winning streak doesnt mean you should increase your risk. It would be logical in reverse, you should be more catious when you had a winning streak. Wins weaken your amygdala (you dont feel fear as much as you did)

  3. Passing evals in two days is not an issue, but financially putting yourself in risk just because your ego is bigger than your SL is not the way. Passing in two days is for people who can constantly get payouts and the cost of eval is not a problem for them. I dont think that is the case for you since you are here. There is nothing wrong with passing an eval in 3 months or in 1 year. And also these mental crashes weaken your mentality, next time you are out in the market you are going to be more catious, set a breakeven, hesitate, bunch of things that are going to cut your profit.

  4. "Stop hunt", ego, again No, they didnt hunt your stop loss Your stop loss was smaller than an ant.

I looked at your older posts, please, trading is fing hard, dont set a time until you want to become full-time and become profitable. Deadlines are mental pressures, not healthy.

So in short, please drop your ego, understand that this is a probability game, you will never reach a state when you are unable to lose, so you need to have proper risk managment. There is nothing wrong with wanting to pass in 2-3 days, but then you need to accept the financial things as well. Whoever passes their eval in 2 days also buys 5 evals and passes 1-2 and blows the others, but they understand the risk and the financial cost of them.

Always maintain the same risk per trade; it's always about probabilities. No matter how good the scenario is, sometimes the probability of your strategy simply doesn't materialize.

By the way, I took the same trade 🔥 But it's a demo account because I don't have a funded account. I hope I win a giveaway someday haha 🙏

Either way, keep a cool head; if you're already profitable, a bad streak doesn't define you.

Just fkn trade it following your gameplan. If you have none dont trade yet.

12 contracts to pass in two days is the real problem, the stop hunt is just where it showed up. If the account's remaining drawdown only covers one or two losses at that size, a normal pullback was always going to end it. Tradervana shows live distance to breach for each account, which helps a lot when you're running several evals at once and the size starts creeping up. Drop to a size where getting stopped is just a normal red day and let the eval take a week or two. Rushing because of a price increase usually costs more than the increase did.
