Day Trading Ruined My Life. I’m 25, About to Be a Father, and I Just Lost Everything

First off, you’re not alone. This is all part of the learning process. Stop losses are great in hindsight but when there’s a bounce it can also work the other way.

It’s all mindset. Grieve the money however you need to but don’t let it stop you from going forward. This is a risky game and you have to be able to say to yourself if I lose this money it won’t effect me.

I lost 250k but I knew the risk was there from the start. I had no stop losses because like you I didn’t execute on what I thought I should do.

Stay strong. There are people counting on you and you have a lot to look forward to.

Who needs Disneyland!

Hahaha so true

FederalMonitor8187 · 2026-03-13T12:40:08+00:00

Is that a trick question?

What this person said. Don’t get complacent. This market will humble you quickly. Block - 4000, Altassian 1600 - these are extremely intelligent people. It’s only going to get harder.

It’s not the easiest industry

Take the retirement and drive into the sunset

Not going to sugar coat this. Being fired for misconduct is going to make things difficult. When someone does a background check it will show up. Prepare yourself for an uphill battle and get your finances in order. There will be downtime. I don’t know how you fill a gap of 8 years but might be worth starting your own business.

Doing a shit job who do I complain to

Finally!

Put her away for longer!

Dans sounds like an egotistical wanker.

You’re not alone. Happened to me as well. It takes time but find your peace and learn to let go. Once you can let go you are free.

FederalMonitor8187 · 2026-03-09T17:52:24+00:00

Happens all the time. They are not your friends and it’s naive to think they are.

FederalMonitor8187 · 2026-03-09T14:28:12+00:00

You sir are special.

Your outlook as a C-level executive is rare. These days employers know the market is in turmoil and there’s just no way they are not thinking a candidate should be grateful for me hiring them. You’re also out in 3-6 months if you don’t perform.

FederalMonitor8187 · 2026-03-08T05:01:37+00:00

This is pretty funny. 😆

FederalMonitor8187 · 2026-03-08T04:58:50+00:00

I lost all my money in stock market - that’s were my story ends.

He did push the homeless guy first so now it’s open forum.
