My account just got liquidated…
I thought scalping was the way. It looked easy — quick in, quick out — make some profit and leave. But now I’ve realized: scalping might give short-term gains, but in the long run, it destroys your account. Especially if you’re a beginner like me.
I used to rush into positions — checked the market, saw someone’s signal, and boom — jumped in. No proper analysis, no risk management… just blind trust. That was a big mistake. Never trust signals blindly.
Before that, I tried copy trading. At first, it felt safe. Just pick a lead trader and let them trade for you. But turns out, that was another wrong move. No research, no checking the drawdown or lock-up period. And when I wanted to exit, I couldn’t. I was stuck. Lesson learned.
Now I’m sitting here… fully empty. Waiting for my next salary. But one thing I know — I’m not giving up.
Next time, I’ll enter the market fully prepared. Full homework, full control — no more rushing, no more copying, no more greed. I’ll follow my own plan with stop loss and take profit in place. Because I’ve realized… even if the lead trader wins or loses, I have to make sure I stay in control.
But here’s the real question…
Do you guys think I can recover my losses?
Have you ever been in this situation?
And if yes, how did you bounce back?
I’m sharing this so someone else doesn’t repeat my mistakes.
Let me know in the comments… I’m here to learn too.
