When I was in debt of 600,000 at $ZEC , I truly learned how to trade.
At that time, I wasn't thinking about doubling my money,
I was thinking about not losing anymore.
The first thing I did every day upon waking wasn't to look at the market,
but to calculate interest.
That feeling pressing on my chest,
was more uncomfortable than being liquidated.
I used to be aggressive,
heavily invested, holding positions, bottom-fishing against the trend,
thinking I was clever,
but the market specializes in curing confidence.
Later, I did one thing—
cut my position to one-third.
No more chasing up,
no more guessing tops,
only following established trends.
I made a 30% gain in one wave,
not greedy for 100%.
My account began to slowly recover.
It took three months to stop the bleeding.
It took six months to turn things around.
Being in debt of 600,000 taught me not about technique,
but about respect.
What truly helped me get through,
was not one big winning trade,
but dozens of trades
without making major mistakes.
If you are also in debt right now,
don't think about making a quick turnaround.
First, survive,
then talk about scaling up.
The market is always there,
but your capital,
can't withstand a second act of recklessness.
