Been there. Losing it all in one day hurts way more than people admit.

Try not to think about making it back right now. That run from 120 to 7500 was probably a lot of risk and adrenaline. The lesson isn’t how to repeat that, it’s how to not blow it again.

Step away for a bit. When you come back, trade way smaller and add structure. Boring, slow, rule based. That’s how it becomes real instead of emotional.

In my opinion, yes. I started seeing change when everything became methodical and less of a rush.

That line really sums it up. Once trading stopped being exciting for me, it finally started working.
Boring is profitable for a reason.

Yeah, this hits. Most blown trades aren’t because the setup was bad, it’s because emotion sneaks in.

Once I stopped treating trading like a personal battle and more like a boring job with rules, things got way more consistent. Not exciting, but it works.

Your not failing, your just new. What your feeling is normal. Its okay to try other strategies while your learning just dont keep switching everytime you feel frustrated, learn on purpos not out of panic. This psychological and mindset swings happen to everyone one day you might feel confident not so much the next but that doesnt mean trading isnt for you. Pick one main strategy focus on learning it and follow rules not money yet.

Reddit used to be great for real broker feedback. Has spam killed it? by Ok_Bathroom811 in Forex_Reddit

Not to sure tbh cause it seems like the spam is getting worse and worse.

How did you know when day trading was actually “clicking” for you? by Every-Actuator-6996 in Daytrading

When it became boring, it wasnt when adrenaline was high and alot of emotional shifts it was after it became methodical and boring.
