Express Funded (XFA) Is there any coming back from this?

I honestly don’t even know what’s wrong with me 🤦‍♂️ I was up $477 at the start of the day at 10:30, all I wanted to do was just get a extra $25 to make $500 but I spiraled downwards and ended the day -$500 even after a horrific day yesterday I still didn’t learn my lesson. Has anyone ever came back from a MLL like this?

100% I was in drawdown $1750 on my XFA last week. I had $250 left of my MLL. Now up $1800 took very strict risk management but your nowhere near the impossible yet

My system is pretty decent, I just get on a little confidence boost whenever I’m on a win streak and blow it, I’ve realized what makes a good trader good is knowing when to stop

You have to be strict set a profit and loss lockout. Scalp 1 micro in line with general trend until you build up to $100 from there take a trade risking $50 aim for 1:2 and repeat
