No, but I scratched my own face up and flew into an autistic rage at one point. That was during my first year of trading. Now I'm calm through everything.

Closest I've ever gotten was I was down like $26,000 across several positions which was the most I was ever down at the time (that is like a casual drawndown on a position these days). The girl I was dating just didn't seem to fucking get it. I wasn't moaning about it or anything, but when you're down a lot everything just stings a bit more. It feels like, to me at least, like you have really bad sunburn. You're just like "ahhhhh, let's just chill...no crazy excitement...no bullshit...let's just chill until this passes." And you don't realize it, but women are ALWAYS stinging you or trying to sting you, so in that state when your capacity to deal with bullshit is weakened, their bullshit is like rubbing broken glass on your skin.

So I didn't cry, but I got to a point where I looked at this person just poking me while I was down and just got really angry. It wasn't even like she had control over it. I didn't detect her doing anything deliberately, which it made it all worse. It was like God himself built them this way to just act like this and one way or another I'd be dealing with this shit for the rest of my life in addition to whatever bullshit trading threw my way. It was really demoralizing and depressing. Everything worked out, but that was almost a psychedelic experience for me and I won't forget it. My largest drawndown since then has been like $90,000 and it was more like having a fly buzzing in the room.

I have poor emotional control past a certain point so when the needle jumps a huge margin all at once I literally don’t feel anything but emptiness. Bought SHIB in January 21, held til March 21 sold at an 8x. In May my $500 initial would have been worth 400k hinging on sufficient liquidity to pull it out. In September 21 my initial would have been worth 16.2 million. When I tell my friends they hug me and tell me they’re sorry but I can’t even begin to feel anything but pic related

Theirs a schizo posting who thinks you're me and that I'm schizophrenic.
Let him bounce around he will eventually leave.

I did cry over losing everything around 56k all together no including unrealized gains.
But I also have a lot of shit going on in my life and it was because I wasn't thinking straight.

Yeah, but it wasn't a direct cry. The crash in May 2021 put me in a deep depression for a couple of months. I went from $40k to $700k and ended up with $100k. This led to a few nights where I cried myself to sleep and unironically felt like killing myself. I'm better now as I've adjusted to the loss, but fuck was that a shitty year.

I know it's pathetic, but this whole year has basically been me moping and coping over my lost gains. 2022 is the lost year for me, and hopefully the last of its kind but probably not

some traders are just built different though. i read the CT account and one guy lost all his gains, and then proceeded to lose it all on ftx. doesn't seem to have a lot of regret, think he has the mindset that he has to skills to make it all back

this is what kept me together in the long run. i did well in both bull runs and am richer for it. i just need to learn to take profits. can be literally impossible sometimes.

fuck no. Are you a woman or fatherless male?
I'm down $3,000,000 this year and yeah its shitty but never once have I gotten all sad about it, much less cried.
I saw some twitterfag named Alex Wice was a top trader on FTX and had like 9 figures on there, and he was very calmly tweeting that he lost everything in the jewscam. Impressive staidness from the lad

Yes, last year.
I remember cueing up "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac and sobbing uncontrollably. I think I was also mourning for 2020 and everything that had happened in that crazy year of lockdowns and psychosis. I took an overdose too, hoping not to wake up...but woke up at 3.30am and ended up puking my guts out into the shower.
Since then? Nah. It's only money.

the caesars sportsbook app can decide when it's acting as a media device so it can keep scores constantly updated as well as keeping your screen on.
i went to place a bet on their app last tuesday for the wednesday game and realized i never even placed the money on japan. the app lagged out and it was the only game i didn't place money on. i even went back out to replace the bet when i realized i placed the same bet twice on morocco winning.
i fell asleep to germany1 japan0 and woke up thinking i was back in the green.
if this happens again with something like my stocks then i'll probably just switch to pmg

I never see it that way because I don't really spend money, what hurts is how stupid it makes me feel even if it's a tiny amount of money, it's the failure that kills me inside. Losing 1% of my portfolio on a bad trade destroys my self esteem, and the ensuing self-loathing lingers on for several days before I get over it, but getting rugged for 10% if my net worth doesn't bother me at all.

no i had to promise myself to stay out. the reason i lost so much was because i was flailing like an idiot after may 2021 trying to make my original gains back. at some point i just had to cut myself off and leave. i have committed to not buying until we reach extreme levels, only recently have started thinking about buying back in. my target right now is $10k, if we hit those levels I'll go all in and just wait, even if it means BTC ends up hitting $3k. I know we will someday hit $60k again and that's all that matters.
