If you still have only your last 1U of personal funds left, would you keep trading? Of course—maybe even with your credit card, loans, and borrowed money to help you hold on a bit longer. But what if you can’t break things down further because you’ve run out of credit, and you no longer have the means to patch things up? What if the interest from the revolving debt keeps eating up your monthly salary just to plug the holes in your obligations, and it still isn’t enough? And it won’t be long—maybe half a year to a year. Your work income drops, and people start getting laid off. Soon, collection calls become frequent. Court documents begin arriving. Your cards—and everything—get frozen. You realize even finding a job is no longer that easy. You find that trading feels like the only thing you can still do. You’ve lost hope and interest in everything. The only thing you still fantasize about is trading—imagining that one day you can.
