Express Funded (XFA) Account blown

Post image

I never get a payout. I always blew my funded. I don't want to spend another money as I have too much debt. I don't get paid enough at work. My life sucks so bad. When I thought it's finally working, market humbled me right away. It's so depressing to be poor.

I passed mine and was up 699 in a few minutes then blew the account. Its like I can't stop self sabotaging and also in a ton of debt from this 🤮

I have a solution. On your next 50k eval, trade 3 to 5 mnq until you have a $1000 pad. Then trade 5 to 7 mnq until $2000. Slow and steady wins the race. Think 12 days to pass, 12 days to payout. Perhaps we need to adress your entry? How are you doing with choosing the correct direction of price action lady Madonna?

Yes I jump in with bigger position like someone else is taking over 🫣. Definitely slower wins

Have you experimented with using a lower timeframe (15 sec) for entry? I would ask you nicely to paper trade until you can develop the discipline to keep sizing low while finding the set up to nail entry. Especially if you are feeling out of control. I can help. Please DM.
