I have no idea whether I'll even get a single answer with this particular thread, which will most likely be a good thing, however I thought I would throw it out there just in the event of any traders available in financial difficulty because of trading. This is a significant issue, one that rarely gets discussed, but I know for a fact that there are traders out there, quite a lot of them, who have lost/are losing far more than they could afford. Desperation, even panic, can place in as one sees the dre, and cash, fade down the plug hole. Often there's absolutely no one to speak to, nobody who knows or who will give guidance, and sadly, the suicide rate is quite high among traders, a small percentage, but high compared to other professions, which will be no surprise in a business where so few succeed.

Nobody knows a trader like a trader, which explains why I thought I'd begin this thread. All of us probably have stories about our trading journey which other traders can relate to, thus, if you are struggling, need a little bit of information from like minded individuals, a bit of moral support, then this is the thread to you.

In case you've got something you'd like to share or discuss, then please don't be shy, you're going to be amazed just how many of us on ff will understand exactly where you're coming from.

In case this thread helps only a single person, it'll be worth more than all the gold on the planet. I hand it to you, anyone out there, who could use a little bit of encouragement during troubled times.
