# Recording My Failed and Foolish Trading Journey

Why is human desire so immense? When I earn, I want to earn more. When I lose, I refuse to cut my losses and keep holding. I understand this is typical rookie retail trader psychology, and yes, I am that clueless beginner. Since I started learning to trade, I've witnessed so many expert operations. I've seen people make money that exceeds my comprehension in a single trade, and I've equally seen people lose amounts with more digits than my phone number. I've seen opportunities to turn things around, and I've also seen the cliffs lurking behind those opportunities. I don't consider myself talented, but I do know how to learn from others' failures and improve my trading skills. Yet somehow, in the end, I still can't control my own greed and fear.
