8 Years of Trading Losses: Why I Still Haven't Quit (And You Shouldn't Either)

If you've blown a trading account, felt like quitting, or wondered if you're just not cut out for this - this video is for you.

After 20+ years solving complex tech problems, I thought trading would be just another puzzle to crack. I was wrong. Eight years later, I'm still not consistently profitable, but I'm more determined than ever. Here's why I haven't quit, and why you shouldn't either.

🔥 My Reality Check:
I believed I could just follow someone else's system and become profitable. Wrong. I've blown accounts scalping. I revenge-traded away $10,000 in one month after business problems. I've literally screamed at myself in the mirror for not closing losing trades. I tried meditation for a year - didn't help my trading at all.

💡 What I've Realized:
Trading isn't just about strategy - it's about understanding yourself. Your unique psychology matters more than any guru's system. Every trader is different, and that's why cookie-cutter approaches fail. This is like learning to box - it takes years of getting beat up before you get good.

My Trading Reality:
✗ Blown multiple accounts
✗ Lost $10,000 in one month revenge trading

✗ Failed with forex, stocks, futures, and options
✗ Still not consistently profitable after 8 years
✓ Still here, still fighting, still learning, still evolving
