▲ 78 r/Daytrading
I’ve been trading for about 3 years now.
I’ve blown 77 prop firm accounts and lost around $20,000 of my own money.
There were some good days — even great ones — but overall, the bad days win. And honestly, it’s not even the strategy at this point. It’s me.
My biggest problem is self-control. I can’t stop when I’m up. I hit my target, feel good… and then take one more trade out of greed. That “one more” trade turns into revenge trading, overtrading, and I end up giving everything back. Every time.
I know what I should be doing, but in the moment I just ignore it.
Right now I feel like I need a real break, because this cycle keeps repeating.
Has anyone here actually overcome this? Not theory — but real change. What helped you stop self-sabotaging?
