Let's be brutally honest for a minute. Before we learned about risk management and realistic expectations (usually by losing a painful amount of money), we were all a little bit insane.
We all had that one beautifully stupid belief that we thought was our ticket to a Lambo.
So, let's air it out. What was the most idiotic, unhinged, completely delusional thing you truly believed about trading when you were a rookie?
Since the beginning of the era of trading and how I've heard people talk about trading, the mindset I carried at that moment was thinking trading is a quick money making scheme where you start up with some figures and in no time you'll start getting results. But little did I know it was so different from this and I remember bragging with some friends on how to do this and that just few days after I started my trading journey but all of a sudden everything was out in my eyes and that's how I got to know the main truth about it.
