We've all blown an account or two 😅
Share your biggest funded-trading mistake so others don't repeat it.
Overleveraging? Revenge trading? Breaking a rule you didn't read?
I'll start:
My worst one was revenge trading after a losing morning. I took two clean stop-losses, got frustrated, and told myself "I'll make it back on the next one." I doubled my lot size, ignored my plan, and blew a 50K account in about 20 minutes over a single news candle I never should've touched.
The lesson: the account didn't kill me, my emotions did. Now I have a hard rule — 2 losses in a day and I'm done, laptop closed. Boring, but I haven't blown an account since.
