Spent months trying to pass a $200k prop firm challege. Finally got funded and then blew the account on that gold dump yesterday trying to long the top. FFS.

Back in 2021 I went all-in on a hyped NFT collection with most of my life savings. If anyone said "you're about to lose your home over cartoon characters", I'd have said they didn't get it. Now I'm couch-surfing, selling what little I have left to eat, and the shame is heavier

When I first got into crypto I would just fomo into shit coins. I made alot of money. Then I stumbled upon ICT and put my head down to study all of his content. Fast forward a few years and I became a profitable day trader with a crypto portfolio of just under $20m. I'm still a

I maxed a credit card for $11k and bought SOL at $255 when everyone posted “last chance before $400”. Felt like destiny. Now down 50%. Interest is killing me and I’m lying to my family about “just a temporary dip”. Am I still chasing hope, or have I just become addicted to the

I get paid from job and straight away I trade meme coins. Last year I am down $7,200 which is more than most people earn in 2 years here in my country after the conflict. My wife is 8 months pregnant, big doctor bills and we’re still sharing a room with my in-laws. I keep

I cry myself to sleep thinking “just quit, it’s not working, you’re destroying yourself”. But the moment I wake up I’m checking prices again, convinced “today’s the day I turn it around”. Nobody I know got rich working a boring 9-5. I’m down to $900, stressed out of my mind, but

I turned $1k into $4k then I lost it all. I recently started again with $4k and now I'm down to $1k. If I get back to $4k ong I will never trade crypto again.

My first bull run in 2021 turned $12k into $640,000 at peak. Got cocky, threw it all into high-yield DeFi farms thinking "this is free money forever". Felt invincible, ignored the risks. Now my portfolio's worth $18k.

Longed BTC this week whilst I was on the train and due to the shitty signal wasn't able to manage it. Unfortunately I was underwater by more than I wanted to be (no stop loss) and panic closed. Shortly after price came back to entry 😭

Last year was probably the worst year of my life. Had some big leveraged trades that were in life changing profits which I was holding for most of the year that were fully liquidated in the October flash crash. Was trading full time but the losses got me so depressed that I've

Seeing people brag about turning $500 into $200k on a rug coin launch makes my blood boil. They act like they’re geniuses when it was pure dumb luck. I hope the market takes it all back from every one of them so they taste the same bitterness I live with every day. Is it wrong to

Spot holder since 2017. DCA’d BTC, never touched leverage, added a lot during the 2020 dip. Ended up with nearly 20 BTC by 2022. Then the itch for faster gains took over. Switched to leverage, chased altcoin pumps, bought every “breakout” like every other retail idiot. Fakeouts,

Hit $52k profit in 4 months. Bought my mom the car she’d always wanted. Lost it all in one revenge streak. Mom still drives it, still thinks I’m “doing great”. I can’t tell her the truth. How do you live with that lie?

Unprofitable for 5 years straight with 1:3 setups because “that’s how pros do it”. Switched to 1:1 RR ten months back - profitable run ever since and funded on three firms now. Those gurus lied to keep us chasing the impossible. Who else ditched 1:3 and finally started passing

FOMO’d my entire £14k savings into LUNA at $0.22 on it's recent pump in December when the timeline was screaming “this is the comeback”. Thought I was catching a moonshot. Now I’m down 70%. Rent’s late, friends are asking why I’m quiet, and I still can’t sell because “it’ll

FundingPips: $250k gone, $3k denied, no real explanation? The prop scam nightmare continues 😢 If a firm rugged you too, drop your story anonymously [link in bio] #fundingpips #propfirms
@fundingpips scammed me out of $250,000 in propfirm capital + refused to pay out $3,000 + banned me from their platform on a non-existent charge and without any argument on their part. I currently have all the evidence, and the support discussions are completely outrageous.

Sold my late father’s watch collection for $11k to fund a “sure thing” trade. Got liquidated on the October 2025 drop because I didn't have a stop loss placed. Mum keeps asking why I never wear them anymore. I can’t tell her they’re gone forever.

Lost everything? Good. Now you know exactly what not to do. Most traders never get that clarity.

I created fake profiles on dating apps pretending to be a hot single mom in crypto. Got 8 guys to send me $4k–$12k each "for trading tips" or "to help me get started". Total: $68k. Leveraged it all into memecoins. Made $320k at peak. Lost everything in one bad week.
