My portfolio is deep in the red right now, and honestly, it stings—seeing losses pile up is never easy, especially after putting in so much time and hope. 🥲 But I’m learning that every trader goes through tough patches, and it’s all part of the journey. I’m reviewing my trades, cutting losers quickly, and focusing on risk management instead of chasing quick wins. Diversifying into safer assets and using dollar-cost averaging helps me stay calm, and I remind myself that markets always have ups and downs. Losses hurt, but they’re also lessons—so I’m not giving up, just getting smarter for the next round.

Anyone else riding out a rough patch? How do you stay motivated?
