From what you just typed shows you don't really have an idea about trading..
My friend lost much cos he was holding a position for too long and kept on depositing thinking the trade will reverse..His broker made things worst the more..One Nigerian scam broker called hantec global...Those people are scammers
the money lost in stop loss is something...
That was back then tho (2018), i am now a forex principality..

I don't even remember the yahoo I'd. I have registered upto 7 i.d due to loss of memory or phone number. the last three i.d that I remembered I was able to retrieve them. but the remaining 4 is not yet achieved. I was tech possessed in early African internet boom in 2005. I'll keep trying to guess when I'm less busy.

You can even trace the computer you used then and see if it can remember them for you. I can leave that kind thing right now. You suppose be mega millionaire by now

Getting money is hard and maintaining it is even harder, as such we must be very careful as to how we spend it.

So I was discussing with a friend and he told me the biggest amount of money he has ever lost in his life was when he bought a car of 3million Naira after saving for like 3 years, and he didn't use the car for up-to 3 months before he got involved in an accident that almost claimed his life with the car.

I laughed and told him mine was when I used 100,000 to play betting and lost the money while in my university days. Lessons learnt from him was that car is never an investment instead he should have invested the money, mine was that gambling never pays at all...

Guys please share yours lets all learn and be enlightened
MMM oh, on utua LA odi ohhh grin

My biggest loss was $75 when I intended buying ssn,socks and other online tools to create an Amazon dropship account from a particular darkweb site.I paid in bitcoins and got scammed.

I have learnt my lessons tho,I didn't relent I had to research more by buying more ebooks on better ways to access the market and how to identify legit vendors there.

As at today am a master on the darkweb.

Bro, are you into dropshipping?

Show me way too abeg.

first big loss in my life was to stock market and all those portfolio developers aims asset management inclusive.
the next was a car i took a close mech to purchase. in the end, at was a melon.
if the car takes you out, no guarantee it would bring you back that is if you get to the destination in the first place

I lost 400k to mmm Tuesday 12th December 2016.. I will never forget that date.
I was just greedy, my money had matured about two weeks earlier, but I wanted it to stay close to December, to flex life.. But then tragedy struck..

Well, I learnt a tough lesson, cos since then I haven't lost any money through any investment like ponzi or pyramid schemes. I learnt that no nigerian can ever advertise any money making scheme free of charge without something sinister or something they stand to gain, my country men will hide any opportunity that actually makes money.

Change "No Nigerian" to "No Human."

MMM wasn't a Nigerian thing. It was international. The Mavrodi dude kept hopping from country to country to defraud everyone one.

I told people MMM was a scam but no one believed me. But do I blame them?

Scammers steal your money. Meanwhile, people were actually making money with MMM.

The truth was that MMM was stealing their money and replacing it with the money brought in by new members. It was very difficult to explain that.

I lost my yahoo email password and the phone number which I use in online registrations, l was less concerned to retrieve it back then in 2009. last year I heard about bitcoin price I was mad. I have 110 btc in bitcoin wallet but I don't remember the wallet wether it was blockchain or binary, even if I remember the wallet I don't remember either password or username as I have used numerous username and password on online stuffs. most night I calculate how rich I am if I had 110btc in my possession.
