Before You Blow Another Account – Read This

-

Stressed trader dealing with pressure and burnout
That moment when u realise u just blew another Account 

We’ve all been there — watching our balance shrink, hoping one last trade turns things around.

But if you’re tired of the blow-account-bounce-back cycle, this post is for you.


When I blew my second account (yes, second), I didn’t want advice. I wanted answers — and honesty.

Not just strategy. Not just signals.

But why I kept repeating the same mistakes.


Here’s what I wish I knew before I donated more money to the market. 👇

💸 1. It Wasn’t a Strategy Problem — It Was a you Problem

You’re not losing because the market is evil or your broker is shady (well, maybe a little 😅).

You’re losing because your mindset isn’t stable.

You’re:

  • Revenge trading
  • Ignoring your stop loss
  • Risking way too much on “sure things”

Sound familiar? That was me.

For my trades I use Hot forex

📉 2. You Don’t Know Your Account Size Personality

Not everyone can trade the same account size the same way.

Some people lose discipline the moment they see more than $500 equity.

Others get too comfortable on demo.

Learn your emotional threshold — it might be lower than your actual balance 

The best trades starts when I finally slow down .

🧠 3. Your Brain is Addicted to Chaos

Let’s be honest: the adrenaline of catching moves can be addictive.

But consistency lives in boredom.

Most profitable days feel… uneventful.

And that’s how it should be.

🔄 4. Every Blown Account Is a Fork in the Road

You either:

  • Rage quit, or
  • Decide to rebuild smarter

When I hit rock bottom, I started journaling my losses, not just wins. That changed everything.

✅ What Helped Me Shift:

  • I only risk 1% per trade. Period.
  • No more trading when I’m emotional
  • I review every setup — win or lose
  • I stopped over-following hype traders online

🧘🏾‍♀️ Final Words

Before you fund another account, ask yourself:

“Do I have the plan — or am I just hoping it’ll be different this time?”

The market doesn’t owe us anything.

But it can reward us when we start acting like real traders.

Why Your Doctor Will Never Prescribe You Spinach (Even If It Works)

Spinach:a simple ,affordable superfood your doctor might not mention -but your body will thank you later for .  The Prescription You’ll Never Get Picture this: you walk into your doctor’s office feeling tired, bloated, and run‑down. You’re hoping for real solutions. Instead, you walk out with a prescription for pills — not a single word about your diet, not even a hint that something as simple as spinach could help. Sounds familiar? That’s because the healthcare system just doesn’t work that way. Your doctor is highly trained in diagnosing illness and prescribing medication — but not necessarily in showing you how to heal through food. And yet, nature has been giving us powerful remedies like spinach long before pharmacies existed. This isn’t about hating on doctors — it’s about pointing out the uncomfortable truth: there’s no money in telling you to eat your greens. 1. The Truth About Spinach and Healing Spinach is not just “rabbit food.” It’s loaded with iron, magnesium, vi...

🫀From Chips to Chia: What I Eat Now to Keep My Cholesterol and BP in Check

Water is bae .Add some cucumbers  And watch your heart say “shap shap” Because meds aren’t the only option -your fridge can help too . I Was Out of Breath… and I Was Just Boiling Eggs That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. Not gym. Not running. Just boiling eggs. And I was breathing like I’d done hill sprints in a taxi rank. Add that to the dizzy spells, random chest pressure, and the way my jeans stopped cooperating — and I finally dragged myself to the clinic. The results? High blood pressure. High cholesterol. And I hadn’t even hit 40. My doctor gave me that look — you know the one that says, “Sis, your lifestyle needs a reboot.” So I made a decision: before I start popping pills every day, let me try fixing what’s on my plate. I started researching real foods — local, affordable, and good for the heart. Not those expensive imported berries or powders with names I can’t pronounce. I’m talking pilchards, garlic, oats… vibes we know. Here’s what I found — and wh...
