I don't know what I was doing there. Got stuck with short bias and took oversized trades, with luck, luck and more luck, ended up only with -11. Might take brake for rest of today.

June is almost completed, something on note... Once entering to adult life (question, yet if I can call it like this), I came up to realization that time for sure flies, much faster than I expected.

+275 pips across DAX & DOW

Journey is over... for now.

Not being able to cut losers did cost me most fortune of my savings. I am at least glad that not having kids and family to support, plus being 20 year old doesn’t affect anyone of my loss.

How further we can drop, I have no clue.

I highly doubt I will be able to recover such loss if I cut it right now, I will end up again over exposing my positions.

If dax bottom at this point and does similar rally up I still might have a chance to get out at more or less b/e with my current position size. But again I “thought” a lot of times this week that we bottomed...

Hi Junior.
Cutting losers at a acceptable price leads us to get better entries.
But you re 100% correct. Exits are the most difficult things in trading.

Mistakes get done to learn from.
It s much cheaper to learn from it at the first time.
I m sure you ll master it.
Good luck with your future trading.

Stay tuned.

What are you feel now, it has been felt by most traders, probably all. me included some years ago in at least a couple of times.
This is a cruel job, terrible job in these moments and restart requires an huge huge mental strenght.
Good luck, I'm with you, but this is a hard solitary job, with solitary joy and solitary pain.......

I am still alive, if that was actually bottom, I might have a chances. But this require recovery of almost whole bloodbath, which I “think” won’t happen anytime soon... But apparently I know nothing. So in a sense I am locked in into position.

I can’t add anymore positions, due to margin, I did receive already few positions getting liquidated, initially I should have started reducing positions and fixing entries way earlier, not on third day...

Dreams of recovery are gone. 8 positions left. 11 were liquidated...

Balance is at ~4K, equity floating 500 above. My game is over. I never should have touched my savings for hopes to recover. An original loss of 2k should have been taken.

Hey JuniorA, as traders have already mentioned, most go through where you're at. I've blown a few accounts. Now I am preoccupied with getting trades to BE, with absolute minimal DD. If you love trading I'm sure you'll be back, loss strategy is a massive part of a trading plan. You will have negative thoughts about yourself, but I hope optimism will shine through and you will come back stronger and wiser. You have learnt a massive lesson and have suffered. Try and be kind to yourself. You are young and hopefully have your health. Trader evolution is incredibly hard and dynamic , the puzzle is a thousand pieces. It takes time, lessons, adaption. Take it easy and get your strength back
cheers Helena

Ego just got me over, had 4 green weeks, felt like untouchable. But then again, how often such bloodbaths happen...

I could deposit something, but I doubt it’s time yet. Can’t be touching my money which goes to daily expenses, that’s to much.

I might take a break and pursue “regular” lifestyle, but I always wanted to be independent, not be someone’s employe... or I might continue with that I have left. Either way, that’s a big lesson for me...

The hardest thing in FX is being consistently profitable over a longer period of time. Anyone can have a good run for a few weeks or even a few months but thats just not enough time to evaluate your strategy properly. Market can be relatively quiet for a few months but eventually something will cause volatility and that is when accounts mostly get blown. When events like this dont affect your results negatively, you know you are on the right track.
