How would you lose on purpose ?

In the series DO NOT
I am trying to collect some items.

Thought about ...
- Buying tops and Selling Bottoms
- Trading what’s not understood
- Not following one’s plan
- Use invalid information
- Use unreliable system
- Trading sick, drunk
- Over-betting
...

What are some other Vulnerabilities, Threats and Weaknesses ?

To blow up my account I’d
- Buy all the contracts I can
- Right before the open
- Take a 10Pts loss
- Repeat ...

But the 10Pts loss isn’t a sure thing.
Even someone skilled would be unlucky enough.

I buy 1000 TVIX at $180/share and my hot asian wife walks into my office wearing nothing. I get distracted and take a big stop loss, lol #worthit

A couple thoughts on this...

1) Having a bad trading strategy that loses money time after time. If so, will reversing the strategy make you money? Not really.

2) There's only one way to make money, namely, buy low and sell high or short high and cover low. But there are so many ways to lose. It's completely mind-blowing.
