Lost 14k usd in Forex and Crypto trading, feeling down....

[agent23]

Hi guys, I'm 22 yo programmer working as a freelancer
I lost 14k usd over the last 3 months in gambling behavior disguised as "trading",
I feel down and depressed cz that money would have changed many things for me but I lost it all cz of greed and boredom.

Made all of it from freelancing and now i feel unmotivated to work again.
Any tips on how to recover and move on?

Thanks guys for ur time

I was on your shoes a few years ago, basically at the same age
You need to work to recover that money, there is nothing else to be done, change your mindset, stop wasting money and time with gambling
If there is anything about gambling to be done, it's promoting casino and forex affiliate links to earn from other degens, do not be another sucker giving your money away for shady platforms

Damn, i can't imagine losing 70k .... hope you recovered after all. I think some lessons in life are heavily paid

that is a good perspective. Now that i have some basic trading knowledge, i can mix it with my programming skills and maybe buid some trading bots and promote them? gotta see the bright side in every loss...
thank you for you reply.

Now you have a story to tell for the rest of your life...unless you continue throwing hard earned money. Also, do not gamble with money you are not ready to lose.
It is all good, you are young and alive, it will be better

it's in fact a good idea, if you can create a trading bot yourself, you could recover this money and build your own platform to make much more from aff links, monthly subscription plans and patnerships

was listening to "My way" by Frank Sinatra yesterday and i liked the lines where he said :
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that

Hopefully i remember this loss years from now and either laugh about it or feel proud of how far i've come in life.
Thank u for your reply.

Then you learned a lesson. If you have trouble dealing with loss, don't gamble

Keep your head up pal, you learned it the hard way. Don't gamble or trade without any knowledge of losses.

Greed is a dangerous thing. Lesson learnt. Move on!!!

Check out the problemgambling over on Reddit, I really hope you stop OP. The fact that you said "gambling disguised as trading" shows you are being honest with yourself, that's great.

[HiddenGuyonBush]

at least you tried and learned lesson. Now move on bro. GL
