There are many Aaha moments in the lives of new traders. My first moment was when I realised live trading is not the same as demo trading. I had quite the setback when I failed to make money in live trading.
Traders shouldn't feel the need to blow up an account or multiple accounts....traders think of that failed process as some kind of rite of passage, a badge of honor. Similar to getting beaten up by a gang, first, before you're allowed to join the gang.
The moment you suffer a first loss, or two, that should be your immediate wake-up call to get intelligent and right about the trade process, journey, ahead.

It was when I first started trading and made profits on a demo account. My beginner self’s aha moment.
You blew up multiple accounts? I thought you were all intelligent, and conservative and methodical in your fixed, algo, computer trading formulas.
Are you still blowing up multiple accounts in 2022 after decades of doing this, or are you a millionaire trader now who has found the Holy Grail?
the holy grail is finding a consistent edge where overall your trading is profitable. that's why i always stress profit factor as the most important statistic in trading. i am NOT a millionaire actually.
