The Biggest Drawdown in My Trading Career

It took me eight months and 13 days to come back from the biggest drawdown in my career. I still made over 200 grand that year, which I was very proud of. It was probably the greatest accomplishment of my trading career because it could have broke me. And if you use a lot of leverage or have an over put too much of your account into one stock, that would have taken you out of the game. If you don't have consistency through a good trading system, through a good set of rules, you're not going to make it back.
