If I lost everything today and had just $100 left…

After 12 years of trading, $2.5M+ in prop funding and $1M+ in payouts…

This is exactly how I’d rebuild from $0 in 2026. 🧵

[The Trading Geek (Brad Goh) @Bradgohtrades]

I’m glad nobody handed me a $100,000 trading account when I started.

I probably would’ve blown it in 3 days.

Back then, I was earning about $650 a month at an office internship. I’d put my paycheck into trading and try to grow it.

One time, I turned less than $1,000 into $9,000 in 3 days trading gold.

I thought I was the best trader in the world.

On day four, I risked the whole account on one trade during a news release. No stop loss. In my head, I was already imagining $20,000.

Price went up and triggered my order. I thought I was about to get rich.

Then it reversed.

I watched the numbers on MetaTrader turn from blue to red. The loss grew to $5,000, then $6,000, then $7,000, then $8,000. My heart was racing. I froze and watched until every position closed on its own.

I’d been liquidated.

I was furious. I pushed my face into a pillow and shouted. Why had I taken that trade? Why hadn’t I withdrawn any of the money?

The next morning, I lay in bed wondering whether I should keep trading if I was going to keep losing money I’d worked for.

Then I sat alone with a notebook. I went back over what I’d done:

> I’d risked the entire account.
> I’d traded without a plan
> And I’d let greed make the decision for me.

That morning didn’t make me profitable. I still lost trades. I wrote them down and kept asking what I’d done right and wrong.

If you’re doubting yourself after a loss, I know how loud that question can get. Give yourself time to look at what happened. Then keep working on what you can change.

I wondered if I should quit after that trade. I’m glad I kept learning.

"Tried trading once and lost money. It's not for me."

Loser.

If you quit after one loss, you're not cut out for success in anything.

Winners stick it out.

"Trading is just gambling."

If you think that you're an idiot.

Go play the lottery and leave trading to the big boys.

School of Hard Knocks interviewed Indomie’s CEO who is Indonesian. He said they also own Dano, Kellogg’s, Hypo, Lush, Guinness & Malt. Their biggest competitor is Nestlé, which owns Maggi. He came to Nigeria for a holiday, and they now generate $2B in revenue. 😳

And he did it all by reading annual reports, eating junk food, and never selling his soul to Wall Street hype.

Warren Buffett is absolutely insane.

Don't trade a pair because everyone is trading it.
