Hi Anthony,
Sorry to hear you're going through your trial by fire. It happens to every trader, it's what shapes you and drives you to leave the game or evolve as a trader. It's an incredibly stressful time , but you will come through it with more knowledge, experience, and hopefully philosophical acceptance.
Good luck with the decisions you need to make regarding your losses, they will not be easy to make
I'll also add that when I took leave without pay from work to trade full time I had 5 successive days of spiralling disbelief at my losing trades and finished the week down $10k money blown, account only alive because of more deposits.. actually I did that twice. Its VERY hard to accept loss, especially when you've been sailing with a fair breeze in your sails. Loss is a part of trading. You WILL place bad trades, they are a part of trading. Accepting loss is integral to success
Kind regards
Helena
