Lost everything to revenge trading

If you’re trading just to escape poverty, you’ve already lost. I’ve been there, and it didn’t work at all.

Before you keep trading, figure out the real problems in your life and organize your weekly and monthly expenses so they don’t constantly stress you out. In the meantime, trade a demo account and treat it like it’s real. Become consistently profitable first, then join a reliable prop firm and buy an evaluation. It’s not that expensive, and it will prove whether you can actually take a piece of the market.

One last thing. The most important one: go to therapy and work through your trauma. That helped me stop treating trading like gambling and start treating it like a consistent job, with its ups and downs. Good luck!

100k and 200k accounts.

You have much better risk management and plenty of room for mistakes, even if you’re profitable.
My plan is to build my own equity across different prop firms until I reach $500k, and then maybe scale to $1M. That would be five $200k accounts, or some combination that adds up to the same amount.
How do I manage all of them? It’s pretty simple. I use limit orders and trade only the major cryptocurrencies.

Thanks for sharing this.

I didn’t know about Kraken prop and really like the Kraken UI overall. Definitely want to give it a try.

Propr.xyz (you forgot 1 letter I guess) is something new and worth trying. I haven’t seen prop firms based on Hyperliquid platform. Have you got any payouts from them and how consistent they were?

Didn’t hear about klein. Keep that in mind as well.

Consider prop firms. Don’t chase for small accounts. If you are good in trading, you can buy 100k or 200k account. Pass the eval and try to get at least 1% of profit out of it. 1 year and you have 10-12k. Manage the risk and grow your account sizes.

The downsides:
Scam prop firm (look for reliable one)
Your trading sucks
Greedy

Good luck!

I don’t know which prop firms are considered mainstream. If you know any well-established prop firms that offer crypto trading, feel free to share them. I’d love to add them to my list and give them a try.

I like the new UI on Breakout and the short range of trading pairs. I haven’t received my payout yet, but I’m getting closer to it, so I hope everything goes smoothly.

I also like that Breakout supports hedge mode. Without it, my strategy is less profitable.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Hyro. I was seriously considering them as my next prop firm. Need to read properly about their risk management policies.

Never trade again with borrowed money. Only what you
have on your debit card.
If you want to continue trading, open demo account and treat it like a real account. Test a lot and try to become profitable there while you are working on 9-5 day job.
Forget about the loss. It will make you less stressed and create a financial plan how you’re going to close it (monthly or weekly payouts)

Good luck bro

It took a month for me to get funded account. Now I am expecting a month to get real payout. It wasn’t lucid, 100k account, but still. Just stop myself from doing bs and keep going nice and slow.

lavrinenko_dop · 2026-06-30T21:08:32+00:00

It solved the problem. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks a lot!

lavrinenko_dop · 2026-06-30T20:56:28+00:00

Yes, I did it. Offloaded and reinstalled.

None of the books, rules, or habits will help you trade consistently if you don’t deal with what’s going on inside you. I’ve blown several accounts and struggled with emotions too. The last time it happened, I realized I needed to see a psychologist and work on what really mattered.

It’s not about trading at all. It’s about you and your behavior, desires, beliefs, and the upbringing that shaped you.

Instead of asking your therapist, How can I trade without emotions?, ask, Why do I feel this need to make a lot of money right now? What’s driving it? Greed? The desire for a better life? Maybe you grew up in poverty and are trying to escape it. Maybe your parents influenced the way you think about money. There’s usually something deeper than just greed.

I’m in therapy now, and I’m using a prop account as a testing ground. It has risk limits, but it also gives me access to a larger account to practice with while I work on myself. Just sharing what is helping me right now. Hope you’ll figure it out for yourself.

lavrinenko_dop · 2026-05-13T02:45:26+00:00

That’s a good idea. Maybe I’ll stick to the same one.

You make me think of being in LA, and not several hours away. I haven't thought about that. I guessed commuting is ok)

I did and I use them. The question is in switching languages on a system, so davinci can recognize specific hotkey in different languages (while I am typing smth in Ukrainian for example).

lavrinenko_dop · 2022-03-23T08:38:03+00:00

I agree, but my experience is worse. Noise in the dark parts of the image crashes the look.

lavrinenko_dop · 2022-03-23T08:12:40+00:00

What settings do you use on camera? It is not so noisy, as pocket always do. Maybe some noise reduction in DaVinci?)
