I am not bad at trading I am just tired of the fear behind it

By karoshi31 | Yoink Yoink | 10 Dec 2025


I feel like trading on its own is just not a thing for me. I get anxious and I am not comfortable with the idea of relying only on trading because greed can wipe you out in a second. Every time I get back into it the same feeling returns.

Last year I stopped and focused on making something extra first so that smaller trades would not matter to me. Now that I have started again I keep thinking I need to learn more and read more books. At the same time I have this problem of stepping away from trades. The people I know who only know the basics still take way more trades than me.

I win most of the trades I take but the truth is I do not take big trades in the first place. I am not well off enough to take heavy risks and maybe I am just afraid to lose so I hold myself back.
