Kardec Trader lost money day trading and learned the hard way that it's not easy. He compares jumping into trading without training to performing surgery with no experience. You either quit or commit seriously and give yourself time to learn.
I didn't respect trading enough. Right. And I see a lot of traders do that nowadays where they don't respect the game enough. Like, they expect to wake up, open the laptop, press two buttons to make money, and I'm like, you're disrespecting people that take this craft very, very seriously. Yes. It's the same thing as me trying to go and perform surgery on someone having no education, no experience, no nothing to performing surgery and expecting to do it, while I am now essentially disrespecting the person that spent tens of years in school. Same thing as traders. If you're going into this industry and you open up your laptop and you click a few buttons and you expect to make money, and I don't mean this in a respectful way, I hope you lose money because you're disrespecting and discrediting the work of other people that spent years and years of effort into this place. So at that point, that's the lesson I learned. I deserve to lose this money. I can't get mad. The only person can get mad is myself, not the market. I didn't prepare myself to the best of my ability to take this on. So I have to take a step back and be like, either I quit trading or I double down and I say, I'm going to take this craft seriously, really work on it and give myself time over a longer period of time.
