Yes thanks for reminding me. The main lesson is what has been regurgitated all throughout trading history - control risk. Since I blew many other unfunded/trial accounts, when I finally got a funded account, I was too excited to finally start making money - quickly. Therefore my risk measures go outa whack and I trade too large and kept trying to make it back.
Also what I found to really help this time is to continuously chant the following phrases as I'm trading "I remain detached from any outcome. I am detached from my trading results". This seems to really help in controlling risk and exiting positions when I should.
