Today I saw that the 2% Trade Idea Rule has now been removed.
I’m not saying that proves my breach was incorrect.
But it’s difficult not to feel that my situation is exactly the type of case that highlights why this rule could be so unforgiving when severe slippage occurred
That slippage pushed the realized loss high enough to trigger the Trade Idea Rule, and my funded account was permanently breached.
Support was respectful and explained that slippage is part of live markets, and I understand why they applied the rule as written.

If I had ignored the rules or intentionally risked more than 2%, I wouldn’t be writing this thread
I’d accept the breach without saying a word — But that’s not what happened
I planned my trade to stay in the safe zone
What hurts isn’t losing the trade — Every trader loses
What hurts is knowing I did everything I could to manage my risk responsibly, yet months of discipline disappeared because my order was executed hundreds of dollars beyond the risk I intentionally planned

Well first of all you’re not failing and there is always time + money to make things better and right again. Take notes on your charts, see what and when happened so you started losing day after day? Think of, what made you think that trades were right to hope on, was it fomo, was it logic, was it based on your strategy, learn when to avoid these things based on what happened there! Then slowly pick yourself up and start trading with a better mindset and understanding of your way of trading.
What pair are you trading?
