I am a college student who accidentally came into contact with currency trading. I started with five thousand dollars, but I have been losing money since I began buying coins. Initially, I only lost a thousand, but later I accidentally discovered options trading.
Playing options is exciting, it's almost like gambling. Buying long or short, if you make the right call, you double your money. At first, I invested a few dollars, and then after doubling, I couldn't stop. I wanted to recover the thousand I lost. At that point, I was already scared, thinking that if I could break even, I would pull out, because I knew I shouldn't get involved in this. Later, I kept investing more and more, and my losses kept increasing.
In the end, I only had two thousand five left, half of what I started with. Later, I met someone in the chat room who was very skilled at options trading, with assets worth tens of millions. I got his WeChat, and after chatting, I felt he was somewhat trustworthy. I transferred some money to him to help me buy options, and I cautiously transferred 100 dollars at the time, which was over six hundred.
Because I lost two thousand five, I was already very anxious. This is a college student's living expenses for over a month! I treated him as a lifeline and impulsively transferred the money to him. He said he could help me trade. At first, I was very happy, but I never imagined that the next day I could no longer contact him!
This big tycoon actually swindled over six hundred dollars from me! I was panicking, my mind was blank. Then I rushed to buy options myself, thinking I could recover my losses, but I lost again. This was the outcome I anticipated.
I was completely stunned because it is not easy for my family to make money. I thought I could lighten the burden, but unexpectedly, I lost more than half of my living expenses for the semester, leaving me with only fifteen hundred. I felt weak all over, and my head was pounding. October in Northeast China is exceptionally cold, and I was walking outside in a thin sweater, completely numb.
I don't understand why that person had to cheat me out of such a small amount of money. It is insignificant to him, yet he took it. I was filled with hatred at that moment. If there is a heaven in this world, he certainly wouldn't be going there. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; I believe that the money he pocketed may never bring him good luck again.
I feel very sad. I will never buy options again with this fifteen hundred dollars. Such speculative behavior is never advisable because you don't know if you have that kind of luck. It's better to be down-to-earth, taking one step at a time. What's yours will eventually be yours; if it's not yours, you won't get it.
I am very grateful to God for allowing me to cut my losses in time. Ultimately, this three thousand five was wasted, and I bought a lesson, which isn't expensive. After this incident, I want to study harder. The knowledge I acquire is truly my own, and I believe in myself.
