Most traders lose their first deposit, and the way it feels surprises everyone: shame, anger, the urge to deposit again immediately. How you handle that moment matters more than the loss itself.

• how long you stopped, if you stopped
• what you did with the feelings before touching the platform again
• what you changed when you came back
