Sharing a bit about my family after my wife found out I took a hit in trading. Back in 2017-2021, I lost nearly 500k$ , but at that time, I was making decent gains, so it didn't impact the family much. I took a break from trading for a few years, but this year I got back in with just around 10k, and then I ended up losing an additional 36k. I mentioned it to my wife, and she said, 'Aren't you tired of losing? It's hard enough to make money these days.' Since that day, I haven't said a word to her; it feels like I've lost my voice. My savings account is now fully in her hands, and I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I don't dare to speak loudly and have been way quieter than before. I used to be a cheerful guy, but this past week, I've only smiled at my kid while feeling heavy-hearted. I don’t know how to describe it when a man feels voiceless. Even just breathing feels exhausting. Of course, my wife hasn't said anything harsh; she’s just been silent. I’ve been silent too, just going through the motions like a machine. There’s a little joy in playing with my child. I wonder if any of you are in a similar situation. Maybe this time, losing money feels worse because it also involved my wife’s hard work, and now that my income is tougher to come by, the pressure is even greater. It's really tough #ETH Cmm
This might be my last post. I've accepted my mistakes and I'm focusing on my grind. The amount I've lost represents a whole year of hard work from two of us. I’ve told my wife, and of course, it’s tough. It's painful thinking about the unfinished plans and feeling out of control. There were moments of confidence, but that’s also when I lost the most. The money I lost in FT is just a small fraction of what I’ve lost in this market. There were times I couldn’t breathe because of the pressure. I’ve decided to share this with my wife in hopes of getting back to normal life. I hope you all reading this stay sharp, whether the game is still on or about to wrap up. Keep a strong mindset. Some might call me foolish, and I accept that. I was wrong to let everything slip away. I’ll keep grinding and hope for my family’s health. Let’s move past the losses and rebuild. Much love, fam.
Hey fam. My order is still active, so no need to ask. This morning took a nosedive and hit some market manipulators, so I had to cut 25% right at the bottom, you know? Now the breakeven point feels even further away. #ETH
The situation is that I'm still holding onto my losses with ETH. I've bought and sold a few times but I'm still in the red. I went long at 2120 and now it's down to 2023. Not sure where the bottom is. A few times I thought about cutting my losses, but now I'm holding again. Hoping for a bounce during the US session tonight because this Asian session has just been hitting hard, it's really nerve-wracking, folks.
Guys, I need some confidence to hold through this drawdown. I went Long and as soon as I switched to short, I got wrecked right away. #ETH I still haven't fully exited my Long from the other day, and now I'm stuck in this short.
It's me again, the one who always buys the tops and sells the bottoms! Lately, every time I jump into a coin, I end up catching the dip. Fellow traders in the same boat, I need some motivation to DCA. #ETH
#BTC If BTC hits 79500-79800 You guys can Long this segment. TP after the US session Hit 80500-81000 to close the position Personal opinion, not investment advice. Just sharing for fun, I'm waiting.
#XAG Just took some profit. After days of holding through the red, it's nice to see some green. Have my fellow traders already taken their exit or are you still holding strong?
The silver session might bounce back to around 81-81.5, so fam, get ready to short. I'm boarding early to wait for the train and then ride along with you all later. #XAG
