여기 투자자들 계좌액수 볼 때마다 우울해지는 사람 있나요? 😞

If you want to be like those people invest in photoshop. You’ll be making six figure trades in your million dollar cash account the same day.

"Comparison is the thief of joy." - Roosevelt

Going to places like Wall Street Bets seeing people post their million-dollar portfolios while I'm over here trading on a $120 port 😭 downright demoralizing

Those are almost all fake. The ones that aren't outright fabricated have just put a large sum of money in an account and claimed they got it trading so you need to buy their book/course/whatever.

A lot of people out there that are negative networth, minus 10,000s of thousands, you the rich guy to them. Don't focus on what other people have when all you can change is what you are doing with your time. If you have your health be grateful, your future 80 year old version of you would give anything to be back to your 8k late 30s self. Live in the now, find gratitude in all things.

Best thing I ever did for my trading was tune out all trading social media until I was profitable for a long time and was set in my system. I can't tell you how much this helped me. For a long time I had a profitable system, but wasn't profitable. I believe a large part of that was me going outside my plan trying to make money like the influencers, or I would risk too much, and not give my trades room to breathe. Most of these influencers are liars any way. 99% of them. Even the ones who you really believe are profitable, aren't.

comparison is the robber of joy. just worry about running your own race and your edge in the market. i know a guy with $10M account and is divorced and depressed. his only purpose is to trail run and summit mountains.

Sin is your greatest enemy while trading. Envy and greed believe it or not can really ruin your discipline.

The way you climb a mountain is…one step at a time. Everyone started somewhere. Instead of getting depressed or jealous- think of these examples (the real ones at least) of showing what is possible. Look for advice and inspiration. When I was 18-20 yrs old- just started my business and my reserve savings was the spare change I could find under my truck seat. I sometimes drove up into a gated community near me just to look at the grand homes to get inspiration to keep trying- and think maybe someday I will be here.

Maybe focus more on growing 8k and less time looking at what others are showing off. Besides think about it, you become down right awesome at trading and turn that 8k into 8 mil over night then just a week later it's 8 bil. Are you going to be hanging out bragging about it on reddit?

I guarantee you, if you really want to change your situation, you can find a way. $25 a week on top of your $8k will get you $300k-$500k at 65, assuming you’re 35. Cut your phone bill. Cut your streaming services. Cut a dinner out a month. Even better, get a part time job that gets you $50-$100 a week, and invest it all.

361k followers of this subreddit. If you saw a massive account every single day for a year, that would account for .1% of the userbase here. Don't let the law of large numbers overwhelm you, never forget the fact that only ~20% of traders are profitable, as in, not negative. You have just as much chances going to r/gambling and seeing people posting their big payouts. Trading is an addiction, I'm not joking. People will blow their entire life savings on chasing a rush, in the span of minutes. And the cherry on top is literally no one has to tell the truth here. You can't confirm/deny if any of the things you're seeing are actually legit. Forget the noise, who cares? If you started trading and you come out and you made a consistent 15% gain. Guess what? You did great, good job. Probably would have been better to DCA, but you ran with the bulls and survived. Stop listening to that USELESS shit of people giving unsolicited (illegal) advice, posting their yolo 0dte bets making them rich, acting like there is real strategy when it is just lucky gambling. Just work towards making that 15% a 17% and you will be one of the best traders here. Full stop.

I trade with a $10k cash account. I'm happy with $500 a day. This isn't a game of comparison.

Half or more are fake, and for each of the remaining few there are countless guys that blew their accounts trying. So fakes and survivor bias getting to you…

stop comparing others to yourself, stop focusing on what other ppl say they have, and focus on your own shit man. Even if what they say is true, everyone walked a different path to get to where they are. Only u can carve out your own destiny, so stop wasting your energy wallowing in misery and just do what u need to do to keep taking steps forward

Its safe to say most of the people on here are full of shit and lose money. You rarely seen broker statements or really any proof of profitability.
