Written by me – just a regular trader learning the hard way
A lot of people are scared of the stock market. Some call it gambling, others think it's a rich man's game. But if I talk about myself, the market has been a teacher. It points out exactly what I don’t understand – no sugarcoating.
When I placed my first trade, honestly, I had no idea what I was doing. Someone recommended a stock, I just bought it blindly. Two days later, I was down 15%. Total panic mode. That’s when I realized – trusting the market blindly doesn’t work. You need your own analysis.
So I started learning technicals, watching charts, reading candles. The first time I heard “Bollinger Bands,” I thought it was the name of a rock band. But later, I understood it actually helps make decisions.
Now, even when I lose, I don’t panic. I don’t follow signals from random people anymore. I use my head. If I profit, great. If I don’t, I review what went wrong.
The biggest thing is – I don’t treat the market like my enemy anymore. It’s a place where the more time you give, the more you understand where peace really is.
