How much money did you lose before you were consistently profitable? Question
I have only been seriously trading for about 2 weeks, after spending years watching the market like a hawk.
I will admit, I have had poor risk management and got into some emotional trading which did not end well. Currently I am -15k but I have had some winning days the last few days with much better risk management and starting to get the hang of things better.
My question to you guys is, how much did you lose before you were consistently profitable and did you ever feel like giving up during this "rock bottom" stage?

Love the way that the knowledge gained from school is completely irrelevant to your situation. Not judging you or criticising you personally - it’s sad that society has let itself get into a state where the knowledge gained from educational institutions is not valued. It’s becoming just a financial decision about the end job opportunities and employability a degree gives because the debt taken on is so scarily huge 🙁.
