HOW TO LOSE $50,000 WORKING VERY HARD
(ONLY
TO
EARN
IT
BACK
MANY
TIMES
OVER)
I’ve been trading for over 7 years now. In those years, I have traded all: stocks,
futures, Forex, E-Minis, options, I’ve sold puts, iron condors, spreads, and binary
options; you name it, I’ve tried it. And I can tell you I’ve lost a LOT of money
doing it. I have been the result of the marketers for financial information products
many times and I can tell you 99.9% of what they sell is pure crap.
I’ve read somewhere, from the dozen of trading books I’ve read, that you have to
pay the cost of tuition, and boy, did I pay, and dearly.
I’ve lost close to $50k in my first years of trading. Yes, $50,000 dollars on savings
I had. And I can tell you I was not rich or any of the sort, so it did hurt a lot to lose
that money. It was my life savings.
I also went to all kinds of trading material: Every time I found a new system, a new
book, a new indicator, a new strategy, a new course, a newsletter, MT4, Ninja
Trader, signals, robots, social trading, you name it: I bought it, tried it, and, yes,
you guessed right: I failed at it. I even paid for one of this super expensive $4k
trading coaches. And, yes. I failed with that, too, and lost some more money there,
plus the cost of the coach.
I’ve lost count on how many accounts I blew, on how many Forex, commodities,
stock, or options brokers I’ve tried; only to find that it wasn’t about the broker or
the markets or the news or the market makers or the indicators I was using, but the
problem was within myself.
