🟥 How a 90% loss of deposit changed the approach to trading — the story of one trader
At the beginning of 2024, the trader entered the market with a deposit of $3,000, confident that he would avoid all others' mistakes. Confidence quickly turned into disappointment: three months later, only $270 remained in the account.
What went wrong?
– Trading futures with x50 leverage
– Buying coins based on 'hot' signals from Telegram
– Complete disregard for stop-losses
– Attempts to recover after losses, which only exacerbated the situation
This crash was a moment of enlightenment. For the first time in a long time, the trader simply closed the computer, went outside without his phone, and realized: he wasn't trading — he was playing. The game of casino disguised as trading was over.
⚡ But this is exactly where the path to real growth began:
– Transitioning from speculation to investment
– Studying charts instead of blindly following signals
– Slow but steady return to profit
Today he is earning again. Small but stable results replaced sharp rises and falls.
🔁 If you are currently in the red — this is not the end. Mistakes shape experience. The main thing is not to give up and learn lessons.
