Anyone want to tell their horror story about day trading recently?
- Thread starter dcwriter2
- Start date
What's the book about? The stupid decisions the 95% make?
I guess that would disqualify me from being in the book then...
You call that a horror story?
Nearly blowing $1200 is a months wages, it's all relative.
I'll aim for a 7figure account to blow it all and WIN don't worry

Now you are talking.
The wildest day trading story has to be the Billionaire boys club, this actually happened. You can read the court transcripts or view films about it.
Murdering several to raise funds after blowing up a futures acct, being outsmarted by a better con thinking they had traded an account up some $8M only to find out it was a fake acct.
Plenty of day traders have ended up in prison, mainly for fraud, some for capital murder(s) to raise cash, these kids took greed to a whole new level.

Happened yesterday...Fun fun fun if you have T-Mobile and a Robinhood account!!
T-Mobile US Inc. is grappling with a major service outage affecting thousands of customers in several states and is working to fix the problem, according to network chief Neville Ray.
The company said it hopes to have the service restored soon. The problem comes a few months after T-Mobile acquired Sprint Corp. and became the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier in terms of regular monthly subscribers.
“Our engineers are working to resolve a voice and data issue that has been affecting customers around the country,” Ray wrote in a tweet. “We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have this fixed shortly.”
Because of T-Mobile’s network problems, callers with other service providers were having trouble connecting to T-Mobile customers, giving an impression that other carriers were also experiencing disruptions.
On Twitter, claims that the disruption was the result of a major distributed denial of service attack, or DDoS, by a nation-state actor went viral, sending “DDoS” into the list of top trending terms in the U.S.
Representatives for AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. said their networks were performing well.
Also March 18, 2020
Gregory rushed to sell his positions as the markets opened, but the Robinhood app froze, and Gregory and millions of other users received error messages.
“I was stuck watching my money disappear,” said Gregory, who estimates the glitch cost him $600.
Robinhood, a free stock trading app claiming 10 million users, suffered three outages during the past few weeks of historic market turbulence. For mom and pop investors, the app’s repeated failures exacerbated the challenge of navigating the economic impact of covid-19, which has led to widespread closures of schools and businesses, disrupted the daily lives of many Americans and increased the chance the country could soon be in a recession.
