Should You Reset or Restart with Ment Funding?

Every trader hits a wall at some point. Whether it’s a blown daily limit, a trailing drawdown violation, or simply drifting too far from the profit target, the path to funding isn’t always linear. Fortunately, Ment Funding offers traders the opportunity to reset or restart their evaluation. But which option is better—and when should you choose one over the other?

Understanding the Difference

• Reset: You keep your current account and settings, but clear all trades and metrics. It’s like hitting the reset button on your current challenge.
• Restart: You begin a completely new evaluation with a new account number, as if starting from scratch.

Each option has its pros and cons depending on your evaluation progress, emotional state, and strategy alignment.

When to Choose a Reset

Resets are ideal when:

• You’re close to passing but broke a minor rule.
• You feel your strategy still works but need a clean slate.
• You want to maintain the same account size and login details.

Resets can be cost-effective and time-saving, especially if you don’t want to reconfigure platforms or dashboards.

When to Choose a Restart

Restarts make more sense when:

• You’re overwhelmed and need a mental break.
• You want to try a different account size or evaluation structure.
• Your trading strategy needs a total overhaul.

Restarting can provide psychological distance from past mistakes and help you come back stronger.

Emotional Considerations

One of the biggest challenges traders face is emotional baggage. After a series of losses or violations, it’s easy to fall into revenge trading or overcompensation. In these cases, a full restart offers the best chance to regain clarity.

If you reset while still emotionally affected by the prior account, you risk repeating the same errors.

Cost Implications

Ment Funding offers both resets and restarts at different price points. Typically:

• Resets are cheaper and quicker to implement.
• Restarts may incur the full cost of a new evaluation.

Always check for promotions or discounts that may reduce the restart cost.

Strategic Planning

Before choosing, review your previous trades:

• Were the mistakes technical or emotional?
• Did you follow your risk rules?
• Did external factors (news, distractions) affect your trades?

If the core issue was poor discipline or rule violations, a reset might work. If it was a flawed strategy or burnout, consider a restart.

How to Prepare for Either Option

• Journal your mistakes and lessons learned.
• Revisit the Ment Funding rulebook to ensure compliance going forward.
• Sim trade for a few days before jumping back in.
• Use this time to refine risk management and emotional control strategies.

Whether you reset or restart, preparation is key to a better outcome the next time.

Final Thought

No path to funding is without bumps. What matters most is how you respond. Whether you reset your account or restart from zero, treat it as a learning opportunity. With a refined plan and clear mind, your next evaluation at Ment Funding could be the one that gets you funded.
