I've had 4 guys over last month msg me for help after blowing out.
It's not what people want to hear, but writing off the money that I had in my account was (paradoxically) when I started to make money.
This got me over biggest psychological hurdle in my quest to become trader.

This got me over biggest psychological hurdle in my quest to become trader.
In my first 2 accounts, I was petrified of losing the money in them. 2nd account was actually insufficiently funded bc I was that scared of losing money. By my 3rd account, I was going thru a v difficult time (mom dying) and I really couldn't give a fuck about anything anymore.
I wrote the money I put in off. At the time I thought the worse thing in my life was already happening to me. Blowing out another account couldn't be worse than the shit that I was already going through. Fucked up I know, but that's how I thought about it.
I later realised that it was this mental decision, this choice I made, which helped me detach from the money. Because I was no longer scared of losing the money, I wasn't (quite literally) scared of a trade not working out. High blood pressure is no joke!
From that point forward, every trade didn't feel like my life depended on it. Some ppl will laugh at me for saying this (fuck you), but this was how it felt. Learning to trade wasn't a walk in the park, I don't believe it is for anyone. Unless ur a FURU, always a diff story hey?
I had a lot of shit to work through and I still have bad days now. I'm obviously not an expert, but if sharing what helped me also helps others, then it'll be worth the potential shit ill get for saying all this. This is my truth and what worked for me.
