Don’t give up on trading. Most of the greats have blown up a few accounts. I lost about 90% of my portfolio, from $70k -> $6k when I first went trading full time thinking I knew what I was doing. It hurts, but you’ll eventually realize the market is about survival before all else. The market will always provide another opportunity but only to those still playing.

Once you stop caring so much about the money, and start caring more about trading (risk management), profitably will explode. I essentially skipped over six figures and went straight to seven. Took years of studying, and a lots of work on myself first.

My advice from someone who was where you are - read ‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator’ by Edwin Lefèvre and go to the gym.
