This is how you dont blow up multiple accounts. This is how you protect you from you.Good trading is boring. You shouldnt be getting a rush from this. Find a trading buddy, community, someone in the industry who will understand your struggles. Because this is a journey of years.

Looking for guarantees? Here’s one. Not every trade is going to work out. That’s just how it is. Do not let this inevitable regularly hurt you. Hurt your account, hurt your confidence. Manage you risk and maximize your reward so that loss becomes nothing more than part of
