📊 Free Trial Account — Final Day Summary

Today was a difficult trading day, and unfortunately, I blew the account.

The account finished at $9,453.83, with the maximum daily loss rule breached at -$504.79 (-5.04%). The overall maximum loss limit was still within range at -5.66%, but the daily loss violation ended the challenge.

Final statistics:

Starting balance: $10,000

Final balance: $9,453.83

Total loss: -$546.17

Total trades: 27

Win rate: 25.93%

Average profit: +$69.98

Average loss: -$51.80

Average R:R: 1.35

Expectancy: -$20.23

Profit factor: 0.47

Sharpe ratio: -0.63

Trading days: 3

📝 Reflection

The biggest lesson from this trial is that having a positive R:R alone is not enough. My low win rate and negative expectancy meant the strategy was losing over the sample, while taking too many trades increased the pressure on the account.

I take full responsibility for the result. The next attempt has to be built around discipline, selectivity, controlled risk and protecting the daily loss limit—not trying to recover losses quickly.

Account blown. Lesson learned. Back to the drawing board.

Yes that will help. I usually risk 10% of my overall drawdown for 1 trade so that way I don't have any issue with breaching daily limit

That was my mistake , going forward I will calculate my risk before entering any trade and I will always take it one at a time

Tryin to recover losses is a big temptation, it causes you to trade a bigger lot size than the circumstances allow, it makes one to completely ignore the rules and just swing for the fences. I don't think you took too many trades (from what I see). I wish your screenshot had shown us the lot size you traded because after a loss its advisable to reduce lot size especially if you are not sure what caused the loss

I didn't take much trades but my lots were high 0.3 lots that was what I used for gold and for EU 0.05 lot which after price didn't go in my direction I held waiting for a reversal which caused the loss of the account
