It's too late to drink Borjomi. Instructions for those who have lost money and faith

Hello, friends.

I am writing this post, as an answer to the reader, but it is very relevant for all traders and investors.

We all face losses:

Blood beats at the temples.

Depression is coming.

We start to believe in mysticism and incredible coincidences, Destiny, evil eye and rock.

I want to die.

Но не надо думать, that you are the only one so unhappy in this world and no one else has gone through this or will not go through a hundred more times.

Below — my recommendations and my experience.

1. Надо понять, that there is no Rock. We lost because, that they took a big risk. Like in a casino — red or black. No one loses 100% Capital, risking 5%. We deliberately risked everything, to get a lot at once. Usually, it all starts with one mistake, one drawdown. Minus 5%, then minus 20%, айайай, как так можно, must be recaptured urgently — we increase the risk or put all the funds on the aggressive government and everything ends in failure. Sometimes it ends well, but understandable, that when using such a strategy, just one failure will lead to a complete drain.
2. If the loss happened, надо понять, how much did we actually lose, so as not to go crazy from exaggerating losses. I once dispersed 500 dollars to 130 000, buying wheat and investing all profits in new longs, but lost almost everything, when the reversal happened. If you think about losing 130 000 dollars as a fact — it becomes very insulting. These are paper profits, don't cling to her, more expensive for yourself.
3. Imagine, that you spent this money on something useful — renovated the apartment, bought an expensive watch, rested at sea… Show your imagination. You must deceive your brain and get rid of the oppressive weight on your soul, to get up and move on. imagine as realistically as possible what you spent your money on and what pleasure you got. Restoring peace of mind is vital! Yet again, someone lost their health, или близкого человека, которого уже не вернуть. А у нас ушли только деньги, you can always earn.
4. Our goal — to heal the wound, reset memory, erase negative experiences and get the most out of them. Otherwise, the algorithm of actions, which led to losses continues to work and call on us to recapture losses quickly and immediately. Then people begin to put money away and pour it into the most risky and rash deals., pamm accounts. The result will be the same — loss of funds. И не надо думать, what Trading или инвестирование не для вас, если случилась неприятность. Nobody becomes a professional the first time. We must learn from mistakes and continue. Another question, if you wanted easy money, but they did not happen — then yes, have to leave. But I think, that there is no easy money anywhere.
5. Never mind your losses. Even if you think, that zeroed out, then starting investing or trading again and remembering, what have you lost 10 000 Dollars, will subconsciously try to quickly earn recapture this amount. Cleaning must be total. Only forward and without a single mistake in actions!

It's hard for all of us. All, who lives in our time of troubles. Each of us is doomed to loss. But you cannot be called poor and unhappy: you have not lost yourself - and this is the most bitter loss. In a difficult moment, you stayed with friends - and an unclouded memory of happiness will be your lifelong reward.
