Yesterday I had a few beers with some random traders and the topic of "What is your biggest loss" came up. I didn't have anything exciting to say, I lost at the time some of my account funds but they didn't consider that a blow. Then I recovered it and the story got even worse, they immediately labeled me as a bullshitter. Apparently less than an 80% loss is nothing for them. Can you give me examples of how you have fucked up? So I can tell that story next time and can be part of the pack.
Good characteristic of a trader, I heard years ago: Someone whom has just been humbled by the markets -- or is about to me. Clearly, your trading experience is minimal.
Tell us how you fucked up. That's the point of the thread. I don't need to lose money to be humble. Being humble is part of my education. I come from a country where we don't love ourselves as much as the Americans, so being humble is easy for us. Go ahead, tell us how you lost your chips.
Looks like these "traders" don't know much. It is risk relative to reward. Someone can easily have tiny losses by going for tiny rewards.
