The thread you just made your post in is the review thread for Takeprofittrader.com. I copied your previous post into this thread, and this is where you ended up when you clicked the link.
This is Page 2 of that thread. Unfortunately, if you scroll up from here, you will find some personal back and forth that isn't really on-topic about this vendor, filling up the first part of this page. You will see the posts that are actually about Take Profit Trader beginning on Page 1 of this thread, before it went off-topic. The best way to access Page 1 would simply to go to the page number on the bottom right corner of the page, and click on Page 1, which will take you to the beginning of the thread:

Hello.
If anyone has tried this newer funded program feel free to share.
They have a similar structure to the "better" programs out there with instant funds withdrawal.
Why all the programs aren't doing this still tracks my brain but …

You've actually diagnosed the real problem yourself, and that takes some self-awareness.
On the platform issues: they're real. Any time you're trading through a prop firm's middleware layer on top of a broker's infrastructure, there are extra points of failure. Different account configurations, server routing, and account tiers can absolutely cause one trader to experience issues another doesn't -- that's probably what you're seeing with your trading partner. Documenting with screenshots was the right call.
On the "bots triggering FOMO" theory -- I'm not aware of credible evidence for that. I wouldn't dismiss the frustration behind the idea, but the simpler explanation fits: genuine tech problems happened, and they hit you at the worst possible moment given your known tendencies.
That cascade is the actual enemy. The tech issue lit the fuse, but the explosion was the psychology.
One rule that helps break this cycle: Any day with a platform malfunction = session over, no exceptions. Not "let me just fix this and try one more trade." Done. You literally cannot troubleshoot platform issues and trade rationally at the same time -- your brain doesn't have the bandwidth.
The no-sim limitation on some eval firms is a genuine design problem for testing setups. Worth factoring into whether a given firm fits your workflow long-term.
