I rarely offer advice , but I think you should take some time off.

Unless you possess extremely strong discipline the likelyhood of revenge trading is extremely high.

Do something for a week or two which you really enjoy and then you will hopefully return in a good state of mind.

Also if in a certain type of market you do the best wait for that type of market instead of fighting a market you don't do as well in.

Losing 28% of your account on one trade due to poor discipline is shit trading.

That 28% loss was over 60% of last years profits.

It would be a bit different if it was due to an event outside your control.

Can you not work out of a prop firm where a risk manager can monitor your daily P/L or something like that?

I have never worked at a firm, but i met someone recently who does, they told me if they are down a certain amount during the day they get a phone call and are told to stop trading and go home for the rest of the day.
