Didnโt want to post this, but here it goes.
Think Iโm going call it here.
Taking a serious break from trading and social mediaโฆ
I love trading, and I have a passion for it.
However, these past few months, trading has been less enjoyable and actually stressful.
Iโm a pretty chill guy, and I donโt get stressed, but am definitely stressed out from trading recently.
Itโs affecting me mentally and emotionally.
Itโs getting to the point where trading dictate my mood for the day, and my family sees it. They donโt deserve to see me in a crap mode, because I traded like crap.
Iโve been trading options for 4-5 years, and futures for 1.5 years.
For the first time in those five years, last year was profitable and I was so ecstatic about it. Imagine being unprofitable, and then turning profitable. Best feeling yet.
But, I think itโs time for a break to do some damage control, and to reset myself.
Never really took a break at all cause I was hungry all the time.
But now Iโm probably going take a few weeks, or even months, or hell maybe longer whenever Iโm ready.
My ultimate goal for trading was to financial provide for my family and actually spend more time with my family, but blowing accounts recently has not really done really financial good for me.
I guess thatโs the reality of trading in a drought right?
Shit, I donโt want to even post this post to be honest.
Itโs embarrassing to say the least. But Iโm being honest and vulnerable to yaโll.
Itโs just the other side of trading reality that no one really talks about.
Never proclaimed to be a trading guru, or anything like that.
Just simply a random guy, trying bring some extra bread on the side.
Anywaysโฆ
Writing this made me tear up a little bit, cause I know I have it in me, but itโs not clicking.
So therefore, I will take a much needed break.
Going just grind it out with nursing, and pay off some of these expenses Iโve occurred.
I guess the good thing about taking a break is less time Iโm on my phone watching charts. And more time spending with my toddler and newborn.
Sorry for the vent, but maybe Iโll look back at this post in a year or maybe years and see how far Iโve come.
Anyways, love yall, and hope you guys kills it.
This is not forever, just temporary.
Peace out.

topstep does not have lengthy reviews or 'gotchas' that can make traders feel anxious about when, or even if, they will be able to receive their hard-earned trading profits.
their rules are simple, clear, and transparent. and are ultimately designed to give traders a fair shot at reaping the benefits of the huge amounts of screen time and analysis that successful trading demands.
