My Friend, might I make a suggestion:
The next time you try a trade like this, keep your risk limited to 1% of your account. Since your stop is so tight, more often than not you will be stopped out. Now you want to catch the big moves with a big lot size? Just scale in. For example, when the position has moved into 1x profit, move your SL to BE and scale in another trade with a 1% sizing. This way as long as the move keeps going you can keep scaling into a big position of say 10% of your account with only 1% exposure.
You will need to decide where to scale in and how to play with the stops but this will keep you from blowing up your account on a single trade idea.
