Judge myself on process, not on how much I made this week sooo and My realistic goal is 3-5% per month. It's not exciting, but it's sustainable, and on a funded account the real aim is to keep the account alive, not to hit a big number once yeahhhh

Spot on. Targeting a steady 3-5% monthly return is one of the best ways to protect your capital and survive long-term on a funded account. When you focus heavily on process rather than chasing huge single-day gains, you naturally avoid the oversized risks that trigger sudden daily loss limit breaches.
To keep yourself disciplined, it helps to set strict daily risk caps—such as risking no more than 0.5% to 1% of your account per trade—and to step away from the charts immediately after hitting your daily stop. This kind of routine removes emotional decision-making when the market gets choppy.
