<prompt> Human: Hello guys. Just need some advice on my situation. Im a student who is also working full time and began trading my savings in the market a year ago. My account was 22k which was my life savings . Im 25. I had s relatively risky appetite and would take positions 50-100 my account size and had days where I lost 1000 and days where I made that amount and more. I usually traded leveraged etfs.Looking at my account a year later I realized Im a failure . Account went from 22k to 16k. It hurts because for me 6k is quite a bit being a relatively broke student and that being my life savings. Ive decided with working and going to school trading is not for me and I will move on from it for now to focus and completing my degree as I spent so much time in the past year with this . Im almost as disappointed in how if effected my grades as well. Anyways just having trouble with all the things I could have done with 6k. Im a pretty frugal guy and enjoy saving and not buying too much things so just wasting that hurts but also want to see if Im overreacting . Any thoughts? Thanks  <response>: Gamblers Anonymous.
