A loss of 300,000 completely shattered what on that night.



In the pharmacy, a box of fever medicine priced at 60 yuan lay in front of him. A full-time trader hesitated over this 60 yuan. The most painful moment was not because of poverty, but because of the contrast.

From the thrill of high leverage to the helplessness of reality, this is a lesson the market teaches every trader. Losses are not just shrinking numbers, but the collapse of psychological defenses. Some learn to cut losses here, some choose to leave, and others stand up again.

There is no story of a trader’s journey that is smooth. The key is what choice you make at the most divided moment.

300,000 gone overnight, yet a pharmacy charges 60 bucks and still tries to cheat. The disparity is truly astonishing.

Losing 300,000 and still buying medicine, this is the daily life of a trader. --- Leverage is really a double-edged sword; happiness doubles, pain also doubles. Wake-up call came too late. --- That moment I hesitated over 60 bucks, I truly felt it. --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but actually executing it really means sacrificing a piece of flesh. --- Only those who stand up again are truly tough. I'm still teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. --- That's why I now only focus on real estate. Trading is too difficult, brother. --- The line about psychological defense breaking down really hit me. It's not about losing money; it's the moment of self-doubt that’s most deadly. --- Some choose to leave, others continue to gamble. As for me, I’m still debating whether to turn back.

300,000 gone, and it's gone. The key is that the moment of losing that 60 bucks really can break your defenses.

This is the true face of leverage. When making a profit, you feel elated; when losing, you even have to weigh whether to lose 60 bucks.

300,000 gone overnight, and you're still worried about 60 bucks—how heartbreaking is that? --- The thrill of high leverage is like a drug; if you can't return to reality, you have to learn to accept defeat. --- Saying "stop loss" is easy, but who can really let go when that moment comes? --- That detail at the pharmacy was incredible—going from a monthly income of 100,000 to being unable to afford fever medicine, the market is truly ruthless. --- Some have learned to stop loss; others are still betting on the next move. I believe the latter will lose. --- The collapse of psychological defenses is more terrifying than losing 300,000 itself—that's the real destructive power. --- Getting back up is possible, but what principal can you dare to use? --- That night not only broke the wallet but also shattered confidence in oneself. --- The story of traders is indeed never smooth; it's all lessons learned through blood.
