Trading: I lost everything, but… May 21, 2022. No. 250 I've warned you before: Futures trading is extremely difficult and very risky. Adrenaline is lethal in these situations, and when you link it with emotions it is much worse. I started trading a few days ago, and in futures, where it is extremely difficult because of the leverage and the volatility of the market. The day before yesterday I started my trading with 116 usdt. I entered the BTC market by going short when the price was around $28,850 USD. My clearance price was $29,800 USD. Incredibly, the price increased very sharply to $29,000, and the loss was enormous. Do not cut the operation and let it run. Taking the risk, but it was getting bigger and bigger. It was already a matter of not wanting to lose. Contrary to all logic and everything I told you before in the other articles. Wait a little longer and the price did not change much, but it kept me at a loss. To the point that I didn't care about anything else, I turned off the monitor and went to sleep for 5 hours. I took the risk. When I got up the price is at $28870 and I was only losing -7 USDT. Guess what I did? Well, I did not close the operation and I believed that the price could go positive. But he didn't. Wait and wait some more. The price rose considerably again and I moved away to more than -50 USDT of loss. Still believing that it would go down again, I did not close the trade. The famous phrase: "Either all or nothing" was my shield. Around 11 am the price of BTC touched 29800 and I liquidated my $114 USDT. The desperation, the pain, the dream, the sight, the tiredness, the regret, the discomfort with myself, was enormous. By not accepting the loss of 7 usdt, I had lost all the capital with which I was making in futures. Remember that I had started with $52 usdt and in 3 days had managed to take them up to $114 usdt. I had lost them in 24 hours. A few hours passed and I let that initial moment pass. It was then that the worst came: The thought of being able to recover what was lost. **This is the worst of all.** That's when I converted my 3.21 BCH to USDT, over $600 USDT. I know what you think if I went crazy, and the reality is that yes, I didn't know what I was doing for sure at the time. Not an easy decision. I sent my USDT into futures and opened a long trade when the price of BTC was at $30320 USDT. Guess what happened? The price went up to $30,000 USDT in the blink of an eye. I was losing -150 USDT again—everything against me. So I was looking at the price for more than 8 hours straight on the mobile. The headache and the feeling of loss were enormous. But even so, I did not close the operation. Until I arrive at 9 pm, the price of BTC managed to rise to 30340 USDT. As I was about to close down a few USDT, the seemingly impossible happened.
The price of BTC increased to $30,790 USDT in just a few seconds. The green candle was huge. My profit jumped to over $170 USDT in seconds. So I waited a second to see if it wouldn't go back up some more and see that it wouldn't, I closed the trade. I ended up with $132 USDT profit. I could have gone short, as the price started to drop rapidly, but I didn't. I was in shock at what had just happened. I couldn't enjoy it, because they were taut moments, for hours, looking at the cell phone screen, every fluctuation in the price of BTC. I bought back my 3.2 BCH and kept my starting capital in futures even a little more. **This is not recommended at all. Trading is extremely complex and dangerous. If the green candle had been in the opposite direction, I would have lost all my money.** End the day with a smile. At least not literally, because I couldn't laugh until the other day. The tiredness and headache from eye pain were enormous. I still couldn't believe what had happened. He had lost everything and recovered in just 12 hours. But it was not easy and the risk was enormous. Last night I couldn't even write an article. So I passed on the main rule that I had here on this platform. First time I spend 48 hours between articles, since I started in read.cash, more than 8 months ago. But he couldn't really do it. I would do it again: **NEVER!**

OMG I'm really sorry for your great losses. It's really painful to bear but you have to take it calm. I always try not to try recovering a lost money in trading because I would end up loosing more of what I've lost already... I really don't do that anymore so I always try to know when to leave and when to walk away from my trade when I loose money
I recover all the loss my friend. You can read it at the end of the article
Oh yeah.. I did see that I was just saying to my own interest. I wouldn't want to recover my first lost because I'll end up loosing another lost💔. I'm really happy you finally recovered man!. Cheers 🥂

Skipping writing for one day is nothing. Congratulations on your 250th post. I admire your achievement and consistency.

Seriously, how's your heart while watching it with negative 😨 Oh Gosh I can never do that 🙂🙅
Yeah, is too risky :(
Oh man! I literally did the face palm after reading this: > The price went up to $30,000 USDT in the blink of an eye. I was losing -150 USDT again—everything against me. But such a relief that you manage to get a profit despite of that situation. Salute for taking the risk of converting 3+ BCH for futures.
Yeah, really hard, but I can do it finally. Risk at 10000%
Trading is a real rollercoaster with a lot of analysis involved and understanding the chart and past price movements. I am happy to see you learning and didn't give up.
Yeah, is really hard to make profit with trading :(
From what I learned from traders is trade with the trend. If it is uptrend trade long and if it is downtrend trade short, but never trade against the trend.
Sometimes is really hard. Emotions kill you so fast and you made huge mistakes. Especially when you are starting, like me :(
That's true!
God knows I wouldn't be able to handle money loss like that. I have to commend, you're trying.
Ahah, is heartbreaking my friend :(
I am right when I listened to the advice of professional that NEVER try the world of trading unless you are very skilled enough to enter this.
I also wanted to try trading but I know I am not focused and skilled enough , so I did not really start.
It is good to hv mind and not to be quickly discouraged in whatsoever you are doing.
In order to enter the world of trade, you must possess high skills and have sufficient experience (the support committee in your trade
