So I recently started trading and the loss in PNL has been brutal. I try to learn from my mistakes and then try correcting them only to realize I left some other details, After correcting them I still continued losing, and I've been doing a lot of research only to realize I've yet, left a lot of details.
It's been a terrible 2 to 3 weeks now, and I'm considering quitting overall or just keep locking in to learn more and become better. For the last 12 hours I've been constantly doing a lot of research and never even realized I've spent a lot of time.
Another 12 hours gone and still I've not learned anything.
Pfffff
Will I give up? I don't think so. The person I worked with has been in my DM begging me to come back to work with her, saying she realized she's been stupid and she's willing to do better, unfortunately I won't, however I have an incoming project payment tomorrow, and because of this I've kept in touch with her so I can get back my money. People like her do not change.
They claim to change because of what they tend to lose. They're inherently insatiable, ungrateful and will do anything for me. I on the other I'm big on loyalty. I earned her 1500$ in Twitter monetization and she only paid 55$ to me even though I was supposed to get 750$.
Don't know what you have until you lose it
This was the agreement before I earned her the monetization. She reneged on all the agreement, amidst many other promises that she actually broke. A cheater hardly changes. I made her completely reliant on me, and she enjoyed it because she gets to make money without even lifting a finger.
Unfortunately this is the downside of being completely dependent on others, when you lose that privilege it means you get to suffer. Now she's mentally and psychologically suffering as well. Unfortunately she brought about her downfall and she'll learn the hard way.
Now
For me, the path is different, I will keep hustling because I'm a hustler, I adapt and do my best, to continue and that's why I've been learning the vast diversity of trading, and it was has turned out well, and I've been sad about it, but I guess there's always a price to pay and it sucks to lose all the time.
I have a lot planned, and it hasn't started out on a good note and I wish it did, but no going back now. I have basically stuck to the 101 of trading which is don't trade more than you can afford to lose, but even though, it still hurts to lose money and personally every $$$ means a lot to me actually, especially since I work hard for every cent, unfortunately you cannot make money without actually giving something off.
Personally maybe someday I'd be comfortable putting in money I can afford to lose, but this means I'll have to be better in my trading expedition..
Realistically
It's a tough day at the office and I'll keep hustling opportunities with higher risks for reward and lower risks.
I saw a protocol giving off $16M in rewards, I got about 300$ in AirDrop way back in September, but I just don't have enough resources to farm points for season 2. I tried it with another protocol and I was on the losing end.
Since definitely we're expecting the bear market to hit, it's better to spend less no matter how enticing. I'll be on the lookout for more opportunities.
