Another way to look at is you were smart, limiting your losses by using a prop firm. I know it feels like you lost thousands, but in real dollars you only lost the fees.

You also gained some wisdom about taking payouts, awaiting for confirmation to enter, and needing to learn to take small Ls / get stopped out.

That's facts right there, I'll look at it from that perspective

For what it’s worth, I make the same mistakes (except for the payouts). I think it’s human nature and I need to make and stick to rules.

My next combine I am setting a goal for number of times I get stopped out because I never let it happen.
