Started trading 5 years ago, right after Covid, initial investment was $5k into Tesla and doubled my account. After that it was all downhill. I’m also down $70k on Schwab, and another 20k on other trading platforms. Trading is complete gambling and always has been. Every time I thought I had an edge and would make a few thousand I’d give it all back plus more. There’s never an upside here, this is the hardest thing to do ever. I also never managed to get “lucky” on trades either. Never hit big. I’ve tried almost every method I can think of. This is a dark path that I never wanted to go down, caused more harm than good. Sharing this because maybe there’s others going through similar stories. The reality is trading is the hardest thing in the world, now I see why 99% fail.
