YES. Listen to this f*cking fool. He hasn't made a dime in the mkts since they got rid of the ticker tape. There should be a Surgeon General warning next to his handle.
This guy, who should have known better, blew up...several times. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/10/15/the-blow-up-artist And Cordier: https://www.tampabay.com/business/h...be-apology-after-losing-150-million-20190206/ And let's not forget Livermore blew up a few times and eventually killed himself (although maybe not for money reasons). So you should...um. Well I guess all this may not be helpful. Anyway, if the market can fvck you over, it will. DON'T LET IT
Tell your family especially your future wife. If she forgives you, you know you have a keeper. If not you move on knowing moving on is the right choice. Most of all you need to treat your gambling mentality. Sounded like you won't quite trading until you lost everything, just like a gambler.
you cant have good probability and a favorable risk reward. Thats called a perfect trade and it doesnt exist. Just shut up, you gonna hurt this dude more than help.
Why are so many of the advice pinning everything down to emotions and psychology? Most likely the OP doesn't know what he's doing. First step is to stop and prove you DO know what you're doing before putting any more money in. Not to encourage him with inspirational anecdotal stories, cos guess what, that reeks of survivorship bias.. for every one remarkable story of how a star trader never gave up and made the turn, there's countless others who also never gave up but lost everything and more (you just don't hear/read about it). Now for the positive notes. You ARE still very young and can bounce back from this experience. Success IS possible but you must acquire the proper skills. In the event of failure - which is ALSO POSSIBLE - you must have the self-honesty to quit. The cold truth is that successful trading is beyond the reach of the VAST majority who try, just like in any performance field. Everyone is entitled to try, but they should know their quitting point before they do.
Bit of nonsense in this post, too much for me to bother replying to, but this....'Most likely the OP doesn't know what he's doing.' Most likely??? Lmao. 100% likely.
