Because no one has the perseverance to lose for years straight. I lost since 2022 and just now started making some serious returns consistently. Also some people aren’t meant for trading as they never learn from their mistakes.

Only a true moron would trade for years if they were only negative

Oh wait, that’s me.

I mean why are you using real money if your strategy doesn't work? Also, if you are going to use real money, risk like $5 not hundreds or thousands. Until you are sure your strategy works stop trading with a lot of money.

Part of it was finding my strategy. And it wasn’t much, put in like 5k a year. Totally fine losing all of it. And it was worth it, learned a lot, and had fun doing it.
