RE: Did someone call 8 quid a time ago. Interesting time for posters and just holders.7 Apr 2026 18:49
To be very very honest with yer all, when Trumps tariffs kicked in, I lost £87k cash as soon as the markets opened, margin called, then within 5mins, I put the kettle on for a nice coffee and moved on.
When this war happened I was locked in (wish I took the loss that early) but then over 4 days I had to sell at a total loss of £211k and a few positions were over 35 grand each, but the next day I had already moved on. (in total £298k)
Losing cash does not bother me and I know that sounds mad, but it doesn't, especially when it was not my fault.
I remember taking a 20k loss on my phone when I was laughing and joking with the chap who was installing my remote lawnmower and I never battered an eyelash over it.
When I say it's only money, I really mean it and if it bothered me, I really should not be day trading.
Plus, I will NOT revenge trade, I will just chill and I won't even think of trying to claw it back as that is a mind fub, so I will just chill and carry on. (after the trump war lol)
