I am glad I was able to get your attention as I wanted with the topic. It is common to see "How I flipped a low account to high one" I just wanted to make it more catchy with the flip in tenses. Some few persons understood it.
And it is also common to see "How I burnt xxx ..." but it is still valid to use flip when describing a loss. Anyways, no doubt that using flipped instead of burn in the title seems to turn more heads. I don't think many of us are not that knowledgeable to not understand it. In fact, they are that knowledgeable to argue and correct things like what @Mpamaegbu is doing there, hehe.

Yes you read the topic right! Cheesy The biggest lessons are learnt from failure. Too many times, new traders are interested in how a trader turned a $0 account into a huge amount, but not how a trader lost all their deposit to bad trading.
I think it is only fine. It can act as a motivator as a starter. And come to think, if they think negatively or what they see are pure negative, do you think many are going to get involved in trading? I don't really think so. Also, as you said, the biggest lesson is when only after we fail, so they need to fail first before becoming successful.
