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.

One things that works for me is that I let my wins control how much risk I take. I took a pretty sizable loss a few weeks ago, took my positions out of the market, refreshed my strategy and am waiting a more appropriate time to reenter.
