I started trading on March 24 of this year and have passed around 10–12 evals. Last week I requested my very first max payout, which was a huge milestone.

Unfortunately, I blew that PA account before my second payout. I was up around $6k, but instead of taking base hits, I started swinging for home runs.

Since then I've blown 10 evals in one week. I know I'm not trading my edge anymore—I think I've been chasing the loss from that first PA instead of trading what's in front of me. I'm honestly so tilted right now.

I'm taking the rest of the week off to reset because I know this isn't me. Has anyone gone through this after their first payout? Any advice on getting your mindset back?
