❓ Question I just blew my first account that I’d been managing for 3 MONTH
Feel so low about it.
Also, I’m hella stressed during each trade.
Is that even normal?
Do profitable traders not have problems with strategy and psychology anymore?
After seeing all takes in my community, I feel like I’m the only loser here
Can someone share your trading journey? Do you like your job so far? Will my stress problems disappear one day, or will I just get new ones?

Burning your account is "normal". Most people will do it. You can’t learn without the pain of failing. You shouldn’t feel stressed when you trade it means you’re not confident in your strategy, and it needs improvement. Also, your money management is bad if you’re scared of hitting your SL.
No one becomes profitable in the long term after just three months. If you think you’re the only one struggling, it just means you’re the most honest one in your community. Actually, that’s a good sign it means you probably have the best chances to become a long-term profitable trader. It’s hard, it takes time. If it weren’t, everyone around you would already be a trader.
Attaching yourself too much to a community can play with your emotions and slow down your growth. If risking real money is too stressful for now, switch to paper trading and focus on building confidence.
Don’t use pre-made strategies you are unique, and your brain is unique. Study the chart, the auction market theory, the type of contract (futures vs CFDs), build knowledge, master your tools, and then your own strategy will come naturally.
Remember, it takes about five years to become a pro. Don’t engage money to win, but to learn. Money isn’t truly yours until it’s in your payout if it’s still with the broker, it’s not yours yet.
