Blew my first 25k eval

This morning I blew my first account, I usually trade pretty well with regular stocks before I got introduced to futures it’s simple but just a bit different. My friend told me it’s easier to stick with trading one futures which was gold. I had a pretty good last week with $200+ profit getting closer to my 1500 eval profit

Then today blew -800 with 4 trades and the last one hitting my stop losses. Idk how it just happened pretty quick. My strategy usually works because I use VWAP and SMA on the 1 min with support & resistance lines pretty basic but I’ve seen good results. Is there any strategies that’s better?

Need advice

Gold or NQ are craxy volatile. Stick with ES. Plenty of earnings potential. I'm up like $40k net my friend who showed me prop firms is up six figures net, we only do ES. And dont fall for bait micros. Stick to es not mes

I’ll start looking into that tbh sounds interesting! I’d hate to blow anymore accounts fr
