Real story or not, this happens and the reality knocks off those people that have traded without further knowledge on what they actually do. It's sad that there are people like you that have ended with this. But cheer up, it's not the end. You can still recover but not through trading as if it's gambling. Many of the traders aren't really trading and based on what you've said, they're just mere gamblers testing their luck and trying to win some trades without the strategies that a typical trader would do. This is why I advice my friends if they ask me how to trade, I tell them straight not to trade but be a holder, an investor.
