That's a tough read.
Unfortunately there's not much that can be said. I wish I could just say "keep trading an you'll get it back" but unfortunately the odds are exactly what they were before you pressed your first BUY or SELL. Nobody knows the future, and that's the risk we all face.
I currently have a set of 2 strategies that produced 47,000 pips over the past 18 years, with a max drawdown of 2,000 pips. In my rookie days, I would have been counting the lamborghinis I would buy. These days, I feel nothing but a knot in my stomach, even after all that testing.
Yep, the market rules. And we suck. ;-)
