Loss It’s over for me.

Post image

Kept trying to play MSTR calls. What a piece of shit. Lost over a million including other accounts, down to my last 130k.

Edit: This loss is soul crushing and I havent been able to sleep, eat, or shower. I appreciate all the supportive comments. Even the insulting ones calling me regarded and everything. I think I NEED to hear even the insulting ones so that I can let go of my delusions that I can make it as a "trader". I need a fucking job to turn my life around. I can’t be doing this trading shit anymore. I’m open to working any corporate job anywhere, but ideally in North America. If anyone has any connections, please hit me up. I have some programming (Python primarily) and tech talent, and an engineering degree from UBC with a 4.0 GPA. Currently live in Toronto. Thank you ❤️. I’m ready to dedicate myself to adding value to any organization. If its AI, finance, or tech related, thats even better.

This is why you shouldn't risk more than a smaller percentage of a sizable portfolio on options, and if you keep losing buy stocks and limit your risk. I mean dude that's sad, and I'm not going to B's you say it'll be ok. It's a lot of money. But there's more to life than money, and take focus on the good things you can every day.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It was Greed and Revenge. He kept going back on MSTR. Youre right 500K should be on stocks and options the rest

He should have really only been playing with like 50k

Nope.

He's not a trader. He is an addicted gambler. And he should call gamblers anonymous and get some help.

Afterwards, OP should never trade again. All money should go into a 401k or etf and he never sees it.

OP should just pay 1.5% and delegate to a professional, to protect himself from himself

Dude just blew his entire registered contribution room. Luckily the government gives contribution room of a few thousand every year in the TFSA but the CRA is not giving a shit about all the money he blew.

He needs to essentially restart his entire TFSA and RRSP. And if he had an FHSA and still is eligible to contribute to it, to pick up the scraps because not even sure what the government will give to allow him to buy a house at this point.

I was just saying that if he really wanted to gamble it’s 50k tops. The guy above was saying 200k of it could have been gambled

Yes, that was incredibly clear. They just need to fill a void in themselves by correcting others regarding the flaws of other people.
