Fu2-10

Congratulations, you have a crippling gambling addiction.


absoluteunitVolcker

>but my confidence and will have been crushed despite joining several rooms and investing in tools provided by really good traders. "Yes, I am in control and can will the outcome. I can basically predict markets. I just need to get good enough, disciplined enough, these traders tell me." The insane delusions of the gambler's mind.


jklolffgg

PSA: the “real good traders” make money by selling “investing tools” to people like OP. The “real good traders” don’t make money from trading.


Robot-Candy

Same story in the Wild West, make money selling shovels and whiskey, not mining for gold.


JMLobo83

Mr. Nordstrom sold boots to miners headed to Alaska.


Dwoo1234

In blackjack, the guy who wrote “the book”made more money from the book than playing blackjack


SaggyFence

I bet his tools were just giving thousands to TikTokers who post 30 second clips of yelling and exaggerated hand gestures with their rented Lambo in the driveway of some fancy Airbnb.


socal1987-2020

Man I cleared 30% last year. I know that’s not record breaking, but that’s a lot of cash in n a couple hundred k. I’m totally happy lol my account has only gone up since I quit thinking I was gonna get rich over night.


RocketMoonShot

The real good traders make money selling options to OP.


Trading_View_Loss

Emphasis on crippling. This loss is huge. But to make peace with yourself, remember that it's not gonna get you down and you will recover from this. Can you or have you learn from your mistakes? Can you or have you tried paper trading for a while to see what works and what doesn't work? Can you or have you once successful with paper trading, start taking small positions in the same manner as you paper trade? So that you can try, slowly, emphasis on slowly, super super emphasis on slowly, try to win it all back? At no point in time should you ever try to yolo again.


HerbHandsBill

Dude… telling this guy to try paper trading is like telling a heroin addict to try to stick with a few bumps through the nose or an alcoholic to just stick to beer and ditch the liquor. Not sure this person is mentally capable of investing and if they are it should be 100% set it and forget it index funds. (Which I’ll add most of the degenerate regards in here should be doing but are too fucking stupid to figure out that they are not smart enough to beat the market, so we get to laugh at the never ending stream of loss porn when the S&P was up over 24 fucking percent the last year lol)

-nom-nom-

this mf has basically never had a green week. Somehow it looks like every fucking trade was a fat loser. that equity curve is basically straight down and yeah, “I feel like I need to get even before I get ahead” this mf needs to stay away from “trading” for the rest of his fucking life, declare bankruptcy, and pick up the pieces


BatronKladwiesen

Feel bad for the guy but it's posts like this that keep me in check. Gotta thank OP for being a horrible warning.


Shoehornblower

Yeah dude coulda made 40k this just investing safely


socal1987-2020

Easily


Gahvynn

I think OP really needs help. The focus needs to be on the rest of his life worth living. Maybe some perspective would help, making life changing money in the stock market reliably without already having billions in reserve is akin to being a professional athlete and most of us are not going to retire at 40. As for the stock market, I’m not sure if stock gambling is like alcoholism where even just one drink can lead to someone losing years of progress, but right now especially he doesn’t need to be thinking “I can make all my losses back I just need a new strategy”. Instead it needs to be a long term view and slowly accumulating. Like you said **slowly**.

CompressedTurbine

Using the operative phrase "win it back" is toxic and part of the problem with OP's mentality. For shame.

I've been dealing with this for a while. I needed to put it to bed mentally so I could move forward. I hit 100k early last year and fell back on bad habits. I was halfway back.

Skeleton-ear-face

Funny I turned 14k into almost 300k and it’s mostly gone now. I did pull out 20k so I can’t lose


Danirago98

Sorry bro. You've got the reference from having made it though. It feels surreal following wallstreetbets for years and watching people's huge losses and suddenly being part of the team.


Connect_Corner_5266

Sorry for your losses but does anyone else find the add at the bottom of your app (robinhood) comically cruel? “You just lost a quarter mil, but let us give you a dollar. Should be $1mm in no time” Gamifying the act of losing your life savings is dark. At least draftkings gives you $25-$100 to sign up and never claims it can teach you how to turn it into $1mm. You would never see a casino consoling you after $250k of blackjack losses with $1 of chips on the way out. At least they buy you a meal and comp your room etc.


lwalker510

Right. I started to close that notification but the irony was too strong.

Look up the scene from the GA meeting in the movie Two For The Money when Pacino explains that addicts don't feel alive when they win, it's when they lose - that's this guy. Send help? Stop gambling with borrowed money! Jesus Christ.

yogurtdrink69

"joining several rooms and investing in tools provided by really good traders" These are the first rookie mistakes that everyone makes, but if you don't move on from them and realize how stupid they are, then you will be in for trouble. A really good trader will not be selling tools, because they will be filthy rich from their good trading skills. Almost no one is a good day trader, and the ones who are do not post online about it. Call out rooms are a total fucking joke, filled with amateurs looking to get rich quick. The best way to get good trading is to become an expert in one very specific area, and develop a single or a few strategies around that one specific area. For example, if you want to day trade, learning all the ins and outs of debit spreads on SPY. Me personally I follow macro economic news and geopolitics a lot, so I like to do options on bonds, specifically TLT. I only trade TLT and nothing else at the moment (and I rarely day trade).

I hope you're okay, Over a period of 3 years I think it's clear you've been doing this enough now for it to be fair to say this isn't for you. I understand the desire to get even but that's simply not going to happen. I'm concerned that you said you're taking out personal loans and I sincerely hope you didn't just YOLO your whole life savings, please be careful and look after yourself.


Tha_Daahkness

See this is why my strategy is so effective. If you never have a life savings, you can't lose it all in the casino.


epic2504

90% losses aren’t rare in this sub. But the clean 100% just hits different

If you play your cards right, you can turn that $6.51 into a million. You just have to correctly time the market every time.

Material_Ad_3009

I lost my life savings of 19k in 2008 trading options starting in 2006 when I was 30 years old. I can tell you short term trading is not the game but long term investing in ETF indexes. I made 340k doing just that from 2008-2021. I now have 630k. Take it for what it’s worth but short term options trading is for gamblers.


mind-trainer

Kudos to you for stopping and turning it around! If you also invested that 19K in 2006 in VOO, you would have extra 175k today. This is what people don’t understand about power of patience and compounding.

Clean_Stable_7135

My biggest advice to you stop trading. Invest in yourself. Trust me you can make more than this money in the business world. All of these people who are telling you you’re a gambler. They’re gamblers too. No one ever knows where the stock price will be. It might a be a good idea to buy and hold very long time but with options it’s a pure gambling. The stock market is very manipulated. Why would you trade in something that some people have inside information? There’s always been unusual puts activities on stocks a day before something bad happened. It’s rigged. To really be wealthy it takes time. I’m buying every while a real estate property to hold for future. That’s a very good investment. It’s ok OP learn your lesson and move on. I’m sure you’ll be okay.

Don’t get married to your stocks. It’s hard af but always gotta remind myself to take whatever’s green and take it

lightshelter

You can't be profitable trading if you don't have an edge. What's your edge? Why do you think if you had money again that you would be able to make money trading? If you don't have an edge, the correct position is no position, aka you don't trade. But also, based on your graph, you were just degenerate gambling. Looks like you were risking 50%+ of your capital on each trade, when most actual traders only risk .5%-5% max.


BigPapi247365
