Lost more money than I'd like to admit over 5 years. Not because my setups were bad. Because I kept doing dumb shit I knew I shouldn't be doing
Revenge trading after losses. FOMO entries. Trading tired. Sizing up after a win because I was "feeling it." Holding losers out of hopium. Classic degen stuff
I knew all of it was killing me. Just didn't want to admit it because then I'd have to actually change. Easier to blame market makers and algos …and the fed. And my broker. And that one random red candle lol
Finally started tracking the actual problem….myself:
– What trade number of the day (trade #4+ was almost always garbage)
– Day of week (Tuesdays were destroying me for some reason)
– Whether I actually followed my rules or just winged it
– Time between trades (back-to-back trades = disaster)
Turns out my "inconsistency" wasn't random. Same setups, completely different results depending on my state. 15-20% higher win rate when rested vs tired. That was eye opening tbh
Still not a millionaire. But I stopped speedrunning account blowups so that's progress I guess
Anyone else track their own degeneracy or am I the only one?
Blew 10+ accounts before I realized the problem wasn't my strategy. It was me

We don’t look at our portfolio charts here.
I just realized that’s exactly what you did lol. By creating new accounts you hid your past losses, probably lengthening the amount of time before you ‘figured it out’.
Your old strategy was literally ‘delete the app’.
OP’S problem wasn’t his strategy, it was his iq
TL;DR
OP regarded
Took me only 1 account to realize.
I need numbers
Congrats on discovering the common denominator. Took you 10 accounts to find the mirror 💀
You’re describing a gambling addiction not anything to do with trading. You need to treat your addiction, and you’d be better served parking whatever money you have left in low fee index funds.
Bro I feel this, my problem was / is greed and now just trying to stack small wins. End of the day I’m just gambling but there is a smarter way to gamble 🤷🏻♂️
Hello, my name is 10 accounts. I can confirm
Is slop-posting the new shitposting?
Get a real job and never reopen the app. Any effort put into trading is effort you should put into getting promoted. It’s guaranteed returns
trading setups? and blaming Tuesday. I’m sorry as this will come off as rude.
You still haven’t learned.
The market is MATH, sales revenue, new tech and profits is what moves the price up. Nothing else. No line or day of the week will ever change that.
No but I should. I usually have a stern talking to with myself about how I’m gonna do things different next time and then don’t.

I have an addictive personality. Thankfully, I keep my actual investing very boring and basic and live out my degenerate fantasies gambling with fake points on whether or not Tyler1 is going to win a game of League of Legends.
I think you might have a problem dude
You probably let AI pick all your stocks like you get it to write all your posts and comments.
Can I buy your course??
OP, re-read your post but replace the word “trade” with “gamble” and you’ll see what your real problem is.
I only track my wins.
All I did was stop buying SPY puts
Eventually youll realize that your rules are also made up and youre still gonna lose all your money like the rest of this sub lol
You could always try again? I believe in you
