Hey Phan Hoa,
Day in and day out, sitting at my desk, in front of my 3 monitors, taking trades that simply weren't working, and hemorrhaging money wasn't what drove me to have my breakdown and wanting to give it all up.
Most people can't fathom what finally pushed me over the edge . . . it's kind of dark.
Here is what did it:
- Hearing people talk about how successful they were.
- Hearing my coach talk in the LIVE trade chat room about how he opened up an office in Colombia and hired 10 new traders.
- Hearing that he had taught them the same system and strategy that I was learning and now, after just 3 months of working with him, THEY were going LIVE and THEY were bringing in 80% profits.
Meanwhile, I'd been learning from him and trading LIVE for over 10 months and the only thing I kept doing was losing by making wrong decisions one after the other. I was being impulsive. I wasn't trusting myself. In other words, I was consistently getting in my own way.
But the saddest part of it all, was that I felt like I was the only one going through this. I felt alone as if I were on a deserted island. I was sure that no one was going through the struggles that I was experiencing.
No one talked about it.
My desperation was palpable.
And blinding!
When this same coach, who had been tooting his horn and his system, that I had already invested 4 figures in, said he was holding a small workshop at the trading center that he created, I desperately sent him $7,000 to be a part of it. Because to me, he had all the answers and if his students were going LIVE with 80% profits in 3 months, then something was definitely wrong with me.
I arrived in Colombia, feeling defeated and wanting to know the secret sauce.
But I got a lot more than just that!
It wasn't at all what I expected, but I got the truth!
You too will see the dark side of trading when you read my new book: The Day Trading Journey, Confessions of a Trader Chick. I share how I realized I wasn't alone and the scathing reality of the 10 "so-called" traders who were reporting 80% profits, but had promptly busted the account within 3 days and hadn't been LIVE in months! (#confessions)
Most importantly, in the book, I am sharing the lessons I learned that truly changed my life for the better! And it had nothing to do with what you think . . .
My hope is that by sharing my journey, you will find inspiration and motivation in yourself so that you can become a great trader and the best version of YOU. It's been a labor of love, but it's finally done!
To GET YOUR COPY HERE. Get inspired, and avoid all the mistakes. If nothing else, you will have a great time reading the book. That is a guarantee.
See you inside,
Marina 'The Trader Chick'
