ITT post your biggest losses

Made 20k over the past two years.
Lost 7k last month alone.

Literally everything went wrong.

I don't know what to do with these feels.

Could you give us a log of your trads last month?

I wanna learn from your mistakes user

I don't really want to because it's about ten A4 pages of trades where 70% of them are losing and I made really dumb decisions and broke all my rules.
I would cut my gains too short in fear of the price changing and would let my losses run longer in hope of price changing.
I even did stupid shit like doubling down when I was "sure" prices were going to change.

I had a golden rule where I would only let myself lose/earn $100 per trade and $500 per day. Obviously I fucking broke that and I started trading higher margins and left myself less room for error and got emotional.
Also trading non-liquid commodities around news days with a lot of leverage isn't generally a good idea (pic related)

>To loose 2000$ in a month it suggests you may be leveraged like a hyped hyena or you have a rather big account at the 2000 account for just a few %.

Yeah I was overleveraged. My profits were small but losses were huge. Got killed when Oil rose and ES futures dropping like a motherfucker

Literally bullshit

For a man of business you sure have no qualms about not paying for other people's work.

not on a single trade but over about a month or so in my first year, in my first year at a prop firm I messed up with a new strategy and cost the firm a mid-five figure sum... nothing that would break the bank for them but it cost me my job

>without a super computer with AI thats been developed over the last 10 years

Good luck competing against the trading terminator sentient faggots.

This is why all brokerages have a statement:
>your investment is not guaranteed any you may lose all of your invested assets

because of plebs like you

If you were a poker player, I'd say you tilted

My grandfather gifted me this stock a few months before he passed away and I guess it has some sentimental value. It's been the worst performing stock I have ever owned however. I guess I should feel glad I never bought into his "Go long on 3d printing! It's the future user!" spiel.

>Being a trader
lmao

I used to work at a small CPA firm.
>Client daytrades and loses like $10k every damn year
>He comes into the office and recommends trading books and
>He sent us emails with trading tips

Holy shit I hated that client.

Ok

I gained 2000 but lost 2400, gained a few hundred on ETSY in February and then tax time came and I was good with no taxes so stopped and its already May and havent invested since.

I woke up early all week this week but every time I thought I saw nothing, it would go up, I cannot either find good trades or I pussy out of every good trade.

It seems like for every YELP there is a GPRO and FIT. So I am just becoming too cautious to invest I guess I am not trader material.

Anyway sorry to make it about me.

This OP. And stop fucking with your holdings, just find a good stock, buy it up and hang on for dear life. You aren't going to get rich overnight, but you will make money. I don't think about my portfolio much, I check once a day to see the day's results, and if I lose I wait until I gain again. So far my assets have never dipped below their initial value, i.e., I never lost the money I started with

>just find a good stock

>not holding onto winning stocks for a year to get sweet sweet long term capital gains

>listen Veeky Forums about bitcoin

>its only getting more improved and interest is increasing
im a retard

Meme stock. Still waiting for ER. Selling at .344 if it ever hits that so I can get out, get into another meme stock, hopefully make a little bit, then back into NETE for the ER spike

Well, at least you acknowledge your mistakes.

I lost around $1000 in my first months, then I stopped trading and kept training on a demo account. March I closed with 12% profitability and April I closed with a 8% profitability. I'm not trying to make a living of this because I don't have a gigantic account, I'm just trying to compound my gains over the course of 2 years or more until I have enough to live off of an 1% gain/month.
This is extremely hard because the reward seems so small after so much time and effort invested. If I make $500 in a great day I can't even celebrate and spend it because I need to compound it.

its not that trading is a meme, its that youre a fuckin moron. youre one of those idiots who thought lots of money spent on learning equates to becoming a good trader. let me guess, youre also one of those morons who didnt trade for at least a year on a demo account to test your worth as a trader. you bought and read your shitty material and then you opened an account with your money and lost. trading is not a meme/gambling... youre a loser.

Do the opposite of this, and you can't go wrong.
