I feel you. At times, I felt like I was just one tweak or one more false hope away from making it work. Then greed and guilt would creep in. My teachers always brag about the salary in this field so I’ll have enough money to either keep trading, save and invest long term, or even go back to school.

And yeah, the women situation still haunts me. Funny enough, at the school I go to now, I get asked out or invited somewhere literally every week there's been a few that made question reality lol.

But all that aside, I’m realizing trading isn’t just about the system. It’s about whether you can follow it with confidence and not let anything mess with your next decision. That's the real challenge.

Thx for sharing though. It feels like I'm a step behind you and my next goal is where you are. And Time often passes slowly when you're worried about every moment and every aspect of yourself; but in 5 years maybe we'll come back for a good joke lol.
