When I first started trading I was the exact same as you, following others advice blindly or letting my emotions come into play. My first ever brokerage account lost over $2k in just under 3 months. I did the same as you, took time off, learned more, implemented a strategy that I am comfortable with and now am able to book profits (albeit on a small scale) that I am happy with. BTW, I am a curator with @ocd and would love to nominate your post.
