Lost all my money in the forex flash crash

I am 24 and i lost all my money $82,450. the currencies went to $0 for 7 min and it happened so fast that my stop losses were ignored. I spent the last 6 years growing my account slowly just for it all to vanish in the blink of an eye. My whole life is in ruins and i can't even afford rent or bills now at this point. To make matters even worse, last year around this time my ATH in crypto was 100k from a 2k inital deposit.
After losing in both crypto and traditional markets (not my fault due to flash crash) i seriously want to kill myself. This is it, will use my dad's pistol to end my pathetic existence. See you on the other side.

if true, sorry bro, you knew they banks would fuck you though.

ohhhh that sucksss

Dont kill yourself, have faith bro

I had a stoploss.
What the fuck is the point. I need to sell my shitcoins but i know if i do that, i am gojng to miss the golden bull run but i have no choice.

This is why you put a percentage of your paper wealth into gold and silver. Real savings and it can't vanish

It's all a fucking scam man, but your life isn't. Don't kill yourself. You're a young kid basically and you'll recover that money and then some one day. Just give yourself time to pass through the pain. Killing yourself isn't the answer here.

It hurts to lose money, but dont end your life

pretty sure forex brokers will give you your money back if it was an actual flash crash...

My money... it’s gone, sir.

>a
Bro its me, favelanon, a guy who saw his cousin die in a public hospital and other shit.

Have faith, even me in a shithole know that things get better.

Post your trade history or it's just another LARP on Jow Forums

Forex brokers will never give you money back. They are all shadier than CWright ffs

Fuck, meant to post this pic.

but they literally do...

lol what

Don’t sell em user. Just go homeless

Don't listen to this guy, OP. It will only get worse. Any friends you have left will get consumed by relationships or work and abandon you. Jobs progressively become less and less fulfilling. You keep thinking you will make it, but every time you get hope, it fails. We are living in a nightmare reality and there is only one solution...You know what you have to do. Stop being a bitch and do the right thing for once in your life...

Nothing says it went to $0. The flash crash was just a few percentages in Yen.

this. Any time I have a little bit of hope and think I'm going to make it (not only money wise) the universe takes it all away from me and I'm back to nothing. This existence is rigged, suicide is not such a bad option at this point, but I'll stick around until 2020 in case cryptos moon. If not I'll jump in front of a train and livestream it

And yet when 2020 comes and Bitcoin is totally dead, you still won't do it. You'll delay it yet again, just like everything else in your life. There is no "tomorrow" for such things. You either do it now, or don't. That's the reality.

Retard.

Make personal connections of your own OP. Find fulfillment in other ways, through education, fitness, being the best person you can be. This is the true way to happiness. People on this board deluded themselves that they will get rich off of magic beans, and then they can use the money to make up for failures of their past. When in reality all most of them need to do is start socializing and going to school/job hunting.

Money comes, and money goes. Jimmy the Greek said something along the lines of a gambler will be on top of the world, and have nothing, at least ten times in their life. Be careful of that last time.

I know such an overwhelming setback is hard. But I have been there as well. I have wanted to kill myself. Laying in bed sick for weeks just thinking about what seemed like in unobtainable amount of money I lost.

Money can always be taken from you. It's a piece of paper backed by nothing. You can spend your whole life amassing millions of dollars and lose it in the end even if you make all the right decisions. Keep going, and become a person that does not need money for validation or happiness, because they have it from within. That is something that can't be taken from you until the day you die.

lmao why do you so elaborately try to get him killed

then why haven't you killed yourself yet faggot

You can make that back in a year or two. I know it sucks but it's not like you are sick or anything, user.

Because it's fun and a good test of how persuasive I can be. Welcome to Jow Forums, fren.

Kek

ah yes uchimaid, you are a man of culture

this. trips confirm. OP you've got a lot of life ahead of you. learn from this pain, use it to grow into the man you want to be. move forward to spite the pain. defy it.

>Money can always be taken from you. It's a piece of paper backed by nothing.

Yes, but sadly money rules this world. It is the difference between literally being able to buy people's souls in exchange for it and dying homeless under a bridge. And unless you are one of the privileged few, you have to play their game to survive. And then, all the things you say don't really matter, because they don't care, and they're the ones who pay you. The money they give you keeps a roof over your head. It keeps food on your table. It keeps clothes on your back. And as soon as you try and break free and live the life you speak of, they fire you for not fitting into the right box, and then that's it.

The only way to escape from this is to make it. OP clearly doesn't have what it takes to do this. He keeps failing again, and again, and again, and it will continue like this in the future. There is only one answer at this point. It's just a matter of whether OP has what it takes to pull the trigger or if he will fail at that too, like everything else.

Thanks everyone. I think its possible for me to recover if i max out my credit card limit of 5k or get a personal line of credit into forex. From there i have to regrow my money carefully. Many posts here made me feel better and now that i know there is a possibility for me to recover, it somewhat makes my pain feel a tiny bit less.

I agree sucide IS your answer OP.. Just please dont use a gun for the rest of our sakes, try something else.. something creative.

I don't know that this will help you but back in the previous bull market I put in 1/2 of my networth by selling a shitty rent house I'd fixed up. I turned $25K into $3K buying LTC, VTC & scam Fibonacci miners.
Took a hail mary and bought 16K Eth with what I had left. Sold it all for $1.80. Literally would have retired if I hadn't done that. Walked away from the market to focus on my life. Lost almost everything for a 2 yrs. Missed out on retirement by a hair.
Buddy made me get re-involved when Bitcoin was $2K & I turned it into $130K, cashed out 3/4 of it. Will probably go back in. No one else I know had the balls to cash out when I did.
Your experience will be helpful eventually. You just have to hang in there. It's going to suck. Took me a year to recover mentally from losing it the first time. And another year to recover from missing out on retirement.

just go breaking bad if you're going to die anyways
try smuggling truck full of cocaine with a cyanide capsule in your mouth in case things go wrong

I don't know if this is the right option. Do you not have any skills or an education where you can get a decent job to get back on your feet, and then start trading again once you get stable?

You just gotta keep pushing through. If you're in a first world country there are programs in place where you shouldn't need to be homeless. There are homeless shelters. Organizations that work with the homeless for job placement. Hell OP could get a job with door dash or uber tomorrow and probably make $100 a day at least. I just hate that so many people get caught up on the idea of "making it", they neglect other key aspects of their life and in the end realize money doesn't change anything. Like the dude who made it and just spent like 40k on door dash and wanted to kill himself.

You legit can make all of it back AND more, if you kill yourself, you can’t make any money. Since you have a clean slate you have nothing to lose, start your own business or gain a skill and use it to create an income, you are feeling shock and dread right now, I have felt this many times. It will pass.

Sorry to hear this. It was foolish to have all your money in one place like that, but you probably realize this now. Don't do anything drastic, you can come back from this.

1) Use protractor and the formula: (y * tan x + measurer’s height = building height) to measure the distance from 10 floors up a skyscraper to the street below

2) Go up to 10th floor window. Tie rope to steel bar wedged across door opening. Rope should be long enough to stop at 9 floors. Also tie piano wire long enough to stop at 8 floors.

3) Tie rope around waist. Tie piano wire around neck. Duck tape hands to head.

4) Smash out window. Jump out of it. When you reach the 3nd floor, the piano wire tightens and decapitates you. When you hit the 2nd floor the rope tightens.

5) You are now hanging out of a skyscraper, 1 height floor above the street, your decapitated head being held by your hands.

82k while not a lot, is not life changing money, same for 100k.

You can make that back by buying some Link user.

t. Link fudder who feels bad for you.

Don't listen to this pussy.

>You can make that back by buying some Link user.
Don't listen to this retard/troll either.

> spent like 40k on door dash
Sauce?

I lost 200k 3 years ago...slowly I am building up my cash again. Might take me ten years, but it's better than being dead

>from a 2k inital deposit.
OP, let's put this into perspective. You only lost $2k if I'm reading this correctly?

>I lost 200k 3 years ago
How? I lost around $80k here.

You are the kinf of milk cows feeding the jews on a daily basis. It always end up this way user, they attract you with a sweet promise of gains then sow everything all of a sudden. You should know by now. Literally hundreds of millions boomers lost their life saving the exact same way.
If you want to invest, invest in something tangible you can keep with you. Rn you should put everything you have left in silver, you will get back on your feet, gl user.

This and also can't you sue them since they didn't execute your stop losses?

Jesus imagine being this much of a gambling addict.

>Literally hundreds of millions boomers lost their life saving the exact same way.
When? Are you referring to the flash crash that just happened or in general? I heard of a boomer that lost their life savings when oil prices dropped, they lost like around a million or something along those lines.

Lol dude. If you where 50 or even 40, that would be understandable but just 24? You're mentally weak, you should avoid this at all cost.

newfag here, how did he lose $82,450 because of the yen flash crash? if the crash was like 8%

Probably high as fuck leverage

Kill your self

Imagine thinking like this guy, you don't need to be rich nowadays to be a king, hell with all the things you can buy with a normal wage you live like a king compared to 100 years ago

Because he is Satan worker, I'm not even kidding.
May Jesus release OP and everyone else from this thread from his lies.

Forex people trade with huge leverage and from time to time get BTFO by small moves in the currency. Think back to all those people posting about going 20x leverage on bitcoin and their accounts getting blown up 2 minutes later, but with 100x leverage.

BTC is not private or fungible.

What use does a large corporate entity or institution have with a coin that can be analysed through chain analysis so that their competitors, foreign governments, or other bad actors can analyse all of their transactions data?

Information leaked includes relationships, supply chains, profit and loss information, accumulated wealth, and more.

For people serious about Business Monero is the answer. Data mining will be a serious issue for commercial deployments.

Anyone can go on an Anonymous image board and talk some pleb out of killing themselves with a bunch of soppy bullshit reasons on why they have reasons to live. Its a lot harder to get the person to actually kill themselves. A moralfag wouldn't understand though. As a result, the lulz will pass you by just like OP's money.

Maybe plebbit would be more to your liking. I know Tumblr is looking for more white knights too.

lmao, that's nothing. stop being a pussy. making money is easy.

>it's harder so it's better
>hurt durr
>my life is so empty and deep down I want to end it so much that I try to talk people into killing themselves to forget about my own suffering temporarily

You're missing the point of what the universe needs from you.

Here - when you start to feel like things have changed for your good remember that the world does not change with you. You dont get dragged back down by the world...you allow yourself be dragged. It will keep happening until you overcome it.

Love the idea of Monero but a major drawback is that there’s no “rich list” for you to see. Without knowing the balance of other accounts it’s hard to trust the network, because what stops the devs from adding coins to their own wallets?

Why kill yourself when you can hurt bankers?

every forex thread i warn anons, and I'm always ignored. banks own this shit, and bucket shops are there to take advantage of your greedy ass.
buying and holding index funds is 10000% less time consuming and 1000% more profitable.

What is the price of your life ? Is it $82k ?

“Fire you for not fitting into the right box” I legit make more than most college grads doing sales which is a job that literally hires anyone I literally have worked with convicted murderers and frankly I’m fond of my immediate bosses and barely work and can be a blatant sociopath it’s about finding the right job money is easy and meaningless.

Underrated post

I bet you were 100x leveraged.

Way too much faggot.

The leverage that brokers tempt traders with should be fucking criminal. Here in Australia you can get 1:500 leverage from any broker with practically no obstacles other than providing your ID. Even traders like OP, who was probably highly leveraged, who do the sensible thing and set a stop loss because they think they are risking only x% of their account, can get blown out by moves like this when their stop loss is ignored and their leverage becomes lethal.

If it makes you feel any better OP, I’m 30 and broke and I don’t even have th excuse of losing it all to forex. You can recover, and if you decide to trade again, don’t use your whole savings.

I've never actually considered this.

Out of interest, how leveraged were you?

Someone plz eggsplain ELI8 how someone can lose all his money in forex.

I understand your how you are feeling op. You’ve spent your entire existence saving up this money through your own blood sweat and tears only to have it taken away from you. Most men when faced with an obstacle like that end up killing themselves, true, but listen op, you have an opportunity right now to not be like most men and to become the strongest human you’ll ever come to know by not killing yourself

Same as bitmex. You go long, then massive red dildo appears, and liquidates you. It happens within microseconds, then price returns to normal, leaving a massive wick behind. Your stoploss remains untriggered, because it happens so fast, system fails to react.

imagine getting out of crypto in 2019 the best year for blockchain tech.

Attached: 1545365844239.jpg (750x1000, 58K)

2021 will be THE year, frend. Accumulate until then

You use $1000 to buy $500000 and use it to buy a foreign currency. The currency moves by .000001% against you and you lose $1000

AAAARRRGGHH

this is the year to get in there is no better time til now smart contracts and blockchain middleware will begin to be tested for implementation within existing systems. the banks are already testing blockchain as a service products

But aren't forex markets HUGE with enough liquidity for keeping changes tiny?

2019 might actually be the year to invest in for the "tech." Some of the good projects are starting to have something to show or ready to show in 2019. Scams and bad projects are dropping out. The ones that have something to show will have to now convince people to use it and 2019 may be that year.

How can people be that stupid? Why would it only move in the direction you wnat it to move?..

There are periods of relatively low liquidity, such as around new year and when countries are on holiday.

If you were 55yro or something and you lost everything you could kys; but at 24 you have time enough to make and lose another 80k more two or three times... it is not about the easiness, its about embrace the challenge, kys is just waste

this. youll make even more money using the lessons you learned from this whole crappy experience

This. Imagine how lucky you are for being born a white mid class american instead of a dark Indian fishing oil from the sewer.
