Fun fact: I started trading while doing my bachelor back in 2015.
I turned my 2k account into 500k, then got so greedy for becoming a million dollar trader and lost every single dollar I made

During that time I had no responsibilities, no wife no kids, nothing. I could have afforded everything but I just wanted to be a million dollar trader. I told no one about my finacials.
THEN I started to grow up, wanted to marry, have kids, build something
THEN I started to grow up, wanted to marry, have kids, build something
All of a sudden I HAD TO make money. There was a psychological burden. I CANT AFFORD to lose.
In the end that killed me. Only when I started to work on psychology and mindset things came into place again

Another fun fact: I never told it to anyone. 500k is a lot of money, dont lose sight here, doesnt matter what you make.
People wouldnt understand I "gambled" all that money. I would get hit with all these "trading is luck" arguments

And here I am sharing my problems with strangers on the internet while being a closed book to my closest
Moral of the story: Trading is 80% Psychology. Maintain yourself like a machine. Dont underestimate your surrounding and be in peace with yourself
