I can't be absolutely sure of anything – neither in life nor in trading.
When I first started trading, losing money was a constant for me. Every month after receiving my salary, I invested in trading… and lost it. This happened over and over again, as if in a loop.
Imagine: four or more times my trading turned into chaotic actions that led to uncontrollable losses.
🧩 I was aware of the risks. I understood that I could lose everything in an instant. But that didn't stop me. I still took that risk.
Why?
Now, looking back at that time, I realize that I acted impulsively, under the influence of emotions and the desire to 'get even'.
Over time, everything changed. I came to a more stable emotional state, where I could figure out what really needed to be done.
But you know what scares me the most?
My state depends on external factors that I cannot always control.
⚠️ I don’t want to lose all my money again due to a moment of weakness.
Now I consciously think: how to build a system that protects me from myself?
🎯 What's changed now?
At this point, before I invest money again or take any actions in the market, I:
• I reread all the educational material.
• I recreated my notes in a more understandable and effective format.
• I gave myself time for rest, learning, and a thoughtful start.
Now my main goal is not the amount in the account.
My victory is sticking to my own rules and discipline.
👑 And you know what? This victory tastes even sweeter than just profit.
Now I understand that in the long run, this approach will definitely lead to positive results.
