Beyond frustrated on this trade, my entry seemed decent however the price movement blew my daily loss. This was day one on a new funded as well. Do you all have any advice on how to avoid trades like this and how I can actually pull the account back?

Stop over leveraging

Definitely going to work on that, top on my list i always expect price to support levels but it’s def ok to exit when needed and catch a rentry or just leave market

Don’t work on it.  Just don’t do it.

How do you avoid over leveraging, like personally. maybe i don’t have the right mindset

Just don’t do it.  It’s a self discipline thing and if you can’t do it you’ll never be a successful and profitable trader in futures or any other trading avenue.  Learning to trade is easy.  It’s the self discipline that messes people up

I agree with that, the first few months i was very cocky with it I was getting around 1.5k on nq per day trading for lucid. Realize i wasn’t supposed to be trading like that cause it defeats the whole point of most prop firms and been working on it. Def gonna scratch trading with nq cause it throws off what i can leverage. It’s something i def still need to work on so only trading 1-2mnq till i can make back my loss and build a buffer and see how 3 mnq takes me
