This Mistake Destroyed My $100K Funded Account
🔻 The Trade That Started It All
I took a valid trade on EURUSD following my trading plan. There was no major news, and technically, the setup looked solid. As price approached my target zone, I opened MT5 to close the trade—but within just a few minutes, the market reversed sharply. The position went from target to breakeven, and then quickly into drawdown. At that point, instead of accepting that the setup had failed, I made a huge mistake—I removed my Stop Loss. I continued holding the losing trade, hoping that the market would bounce back. But the loss only deepened, and eventually, I hit my daily drawdown limit, closing the day with a 4.8% loss on the funded account.
📆 The Next Day
Emotionally unsettled but still trying to recover the previous loss, I jumped back into the market the very next day. My first trade was based on proper analysis and started moving in my favor, but I closed it at breakeven—not because the setup failed, but because I was afraid of taking another loss. After that, I entered a random buy trade on gold, purely out of emotion, with the hope that it would go in my direction and recover the previous day’s loss. Since the entry had no analysis behind it, there was no logical level to place a stop loss—so I didn’t set one. I just held the position, hoping it would turn. But the market moved further against me, and I eventually hit the maximum drawdown limit, leading to a complete account breach.
🧠 What Went Wrong
I removed my Stop Loss after the market reversed from my target—this broke my risk management and turned a small loss into a 4.8% drawdown.
I held on to the losing trade, driven by emotion, even though the setup had clearly failed.
The next day, I returned to the market emotionally unsettled, still focused on recovering the previous loss.
I took a random buy trade on gold, purely out of emotion—since there was no valid entry, I had no logical SL, so I didn’t place one and ended up holding a blind loss until the account breached.
✅ What I Should Have Done
I should have closed the trade immediately when price reversed sharply from my target zone.
I should have kept my SL in place—removing it was the exact point where I lost control of the trade.
I should have taken a break after making a major mistake and booking a big loss, instead of coming back the next day in recovery mode.
I should have never taken the second trade—it was a random entry with no logic, no analysis, and no stop loss.
