어떻게 다시 제대로 시작할 수 있을까요? 🤔

You have your eyes on the prize not the process.

Learn from your problems since you say you realized it. You named them, now how do you fix them?

No need to over complicate it Im sure you know the answer to most of these problems lol

Stop using leverage.

Scalping bitcoin? Aren’t spreads eating up your profits?

The beginner's luck phase is genuinely dangerous because it creates a completely wrong mental model of what trading actually is. The market will always find a way to take back what it gave you for free

Look at scalping options with mag 7 stocks that are actually worth something. Way less volatile.

Like most things in trading, the solution is counterintuitive. You sized up way too fast and way too much. Size back down to half of your original size. You will trade so much better when you care less about the loss of money and start focusing on making good trades instead of good money (hint: profitable trade isn’t necessarily a good trade)

Early trading profits can often be detrimental to a trader long term develo

Yeah, I’ve seen this exact spiral (and had my own version of it). The core issue isn’t Bitcoin or your “strategy” - it’s 40x leverage + revenge trading. That combo will wipe anyone.

If you want to restart the right way, do a hard reset:

First, drop leverage to something boring (or go spot) and trade so small you can’t make it back in one day. Your brain needs to relearn calm execution. If you can’t follow rules at low size, you won’t follow them at high size.

Second, put in hard guardrails: max trades per day (like 2-3), max loss per day (small), and a rule that after you hit it you’re done. No one more to fix it.

Third, stop trading bad conditions. Make a simple checklist for when you’re allowed to trade ( volatility range, clear trend or clean range, no chop). If conditions aren’t there, you don’t trade. That’s not laziness, that’s the job.

Fourth, get reps without bleeding. Spend a week doing replay/backtesting of your exact setup and your new rules (entry - stop - exit - and daily limits). Tools like TakeProfit (or its crypto-based alternatives) make it easy to replay and test different rules, so you can see what actually works before you pay for it live.

And last: forget "recovering $5k". That mindset is the hook. Your only goal for the next month is: no revenge trades, no leverage spikes, no breaking your daily stop. If you nail that, profitability becomes possible again.

I'll probably get downvoted but your best solution is to go to higher timeframes trading. I'd say analyze on h1-h4 and execute on M30. It will solve 95% of your problems immediately and on the rest you'll just need to work a bit. Scalping is a losing game for most traders. (That's not only my opinion, check broker statistics and pro traders opinions)

- Trade regulated securities (This is important for scaling, I recommend the SPY or other large caps)
- Trade only the first hour or so in the day (Everything is basically chop after that, opportunities are in the AM)
- Have a strategy and a plan (E.G, support/resistance levels charted, general stop areas)
- Dedicate a lot of time to learning price action, order flow, level 2. Do not waste time with indicators.
- In the beginning, you can leverage a larger portion of your roll as you grind up, but ultimately you want to be aiming for 1-3% of your bankroll per trade
- Make sure you trade your strategy and plans for a large sample size (100+ trades) before you make a decision as to if they work or not
- Accept the fact that you will lose money for a few years. Your goal is to minimize losses and stay alive as you develop the grit and psychology to due this day in and day out.

Trading is about learning how to lose and discipline. If you cannot manage your bankroll in a small account ($1000), then there is no reason to deposit more money.
