You guys blowing out your accounts left and right

Also, you'll see a lot of talk about blowing up or margin calls during high volatility trading conditions or soon after those high volatility trading conditions...that's normal in my opinion...not unusual.

"Normal"? Shouldn't be. Only a noob or a fool would accept such... JMHO.

I don't think accepting or not accepting when it happens is the issue.

I think the thread starter just notice something odd about people talking about such. Maybe he expects people to be quiet ???

Yet, I've notice more journals at different forums (including ET) were traders only journal (discuss) their losing trades.

Please restate. This comes across as gibberish.

Some things don't need clarification. If you don't understand the gibberish...more explanation will be more gibberish to you.

I'm not being a smart-ass. I just don't want to spend time explaining simple sentences because I'm sure someone else out there gets it when you don't or vice versa. :D

Well, lemme make it simple... If you're going to "get your back up" with me, you need to come with some juice. Otherwise, "ON IGNORE!!
 
Taking large losses day after day can leave a new trader shell shocked.
But to be a battle hardened trader you need to experience blowing up your account at least once.
 
Blowing a trading account, or taking a very significant hit, is like shooting someone in war...or watching another person get shot in front of your eyes -- it's kind of a rite of passage, and somewhat...of a requirement...to harden you up to the realities of this...game.

But more importantly, it's 2018...Make Trading and Your Life Great Again...High-Five` o_O
