Hi there,

I'm looking for some advice, and also to share my story.

I've been trading on bitmex for around 2 years, managing to develop an edge that I used to turn 0.15 btc into around 9btc over a few weeks last summer.
I managed to spot an algo pattern that I had seen before, and knew exactly what would happen so used high leverage. This worked out until I got overconfident and the final part of the pattern was different. I used way too much leverage thinking I could make a quick million and quickly destroyed my account.

How do you deal with big losses? I still believe I have a significant edge, and combined with low leverage see the potential to be successful, but don't have the capital anymore.  It is tempting to give up, but I still feel like there is potential to make a lot of money with the right risk management.

Any other stories of people building themselves back up from zero?

Cheers
