Look, if you're new to trading—yeah, you're gonna blow some entries. Miss that perfect setup while you're staring at the chart. Watch your stop-loss trigger right before the reversal.
That's just part of it.
What actually kills your edge? Rage-quitting after three red days. Deleting your watchlist because one trade went sideways. Convincing yourself you're "not cut out for this" when really you just haven't figured out YOUR system yet.
Every consistent trader you follow? They've been exactly where you are. Underwater positions. Emotional trades. The whole mess.
Difference is they kept refining. Kept logging. Kept showing up when it sucked.
Your breakthrough isn't some magical aha moment—it's compound reps. Stay in the game.

You're absolutely right, I'm that fool who got stopped out and crawled back in.
At first, I was really frustrated—after three days of losses, I just wanted to dump everything. Now I understand, without a system it's just random trading.
Sticking to reviews really helps. Even though I'm still losing, my mindset is much more stable.
I guess that's why I'm still hanging in there, haha.

Bro, your article really hit home for me. Honestly, I feel like an idiot every time I look at other people's charts—one pullback and it's all gone. But it's true, you can't just fold after one loss. That's the most painful part.

You're absolutely right. I can't stand those who talk about quitting after just one or two losses.
Getting stuck in a losing position is completely normal; the key is how you climb out of the pit.

It took me three bankruptcies to realize that this is just a mindset issue, haha.
