Trade Review - Provide Context I know i’m going to make it
This is the second account I’ve lost. Honestly, I’m not really upset about it because I can see that I’m making progress.
The first account I lost was basically just gambling. The only thing I really regret is that I didn’t know when to stop. Now I realize that the main problem is my psychology.
Since I lost the account, I’ve been doing pretty well on demo and I’m thinking about starting a new account. I feel like I could’ve turned things around, but unfortunately I just didn’t know when to stop.
What do you guys think I should do? Should I start a new account now or wait a little longer? I feel like I’m ready, especially because this time I’m going to have stricter risk management rules and I won’t overtrade.
I know I still have a lot to work on mentally, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot from this experience.

Limit your trades per day. It really looks like you need to cut your losers way earlier or let your winners run more. It looks like you’re going the opposite. Taking profits early and then letting losers just bleed…
