See that red line? That was my trading account in 2021. I thought I was a genius because I made money during a bull market. I leveraged up, thinking it would go up forever. Then the crash happened. I lost 95% of my savings in 48 hours. I felt physically sick for weeks. But that loss forced me to actually learn risk management and psychology. I stopped gambling and started investing. It took me two years to earn it back, but the tuition I paid to the market that year was worth every penny. I wouldn't be profitable today without this disaster.
