I’ve been liquidated more times than I can count.
In my early years, I blew accounts, chased pumps, and got wiped out thinking I ‘knew’ the market. I didn’t. The market humbled me, over and over again.
But I didn’t quit. I studied, adapted, and learned from every loss. I stopped trading with emotions and started trading with execution. Slowly, the losses turned into break-even days. Then into small wins. Then into consistency.

The difference between those who make it and those who don’t? The ones who survive long enough to learn the game.
The market doesn’t care about you. But if you respect it, it will reward you.
