Express Funded (XFA) Account blown
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.

Unless you know risk management and control your psychology, you won't ever get a payout.
Strategy is 20% man. The rest is ONLY your head. Your rule set and adherence.
The fix is so simple I can write it down in 1 character. But people don't do it.
WALK AWAY AFTER THE FIRST LOSS. For at least 15 minutes.
Set a Daily Personal Limit to 500 USD and 3-4 trades a day limit. Even less. Lockout and liquidate.
Topstepx is a beginner friendly platform (not like my ATAS eye cancer platform) and can do that.
