I Blew 4 Trading Accounts Before I Found This Simple Strategy
I’ll never forget the frustration of blowing my first trading account. Or the second. Or the third. Or the fourth. At the time, I was watching YouTube videos of people making thousands in a day. I joined chat groups filled with signals and hype. I loaded my charts with indicators — MACD, RSI, Fibonacci, trend lines, EMAs… you name it.
But deep down, I didn’t really understand how the market moved. I was relying on others to tell me where to buy and sell. And that led to confusion, inconsistency, and account after account getting blown. Please note: I am not a financial advisor. Everything I share here is based on my personal experience and is meant to encourage and educate. Trading requires discipline, patience, and learning — please treat it like a skill and grow steadily. 
The Pain of Trading Without Understanding
Looking back, I wasn’t lacking passion — I was lacking clarity. I thought I could shortcut the process by following others. But trading isn’t something you can “borrow.” You have to own your growth. Here’s why I kept failing: I had no plan I followed other people’s trades without understanding why I used too many indicators, which gave conflicting signals I lacked risk management and entered based on emotion But eventually, God used those failures to humble me — and to teach me how to rebuild the right way. 
The Shift That Changed Everything
After my fourth blown account, I stopped trading for a while. I needed to reset — mentally and spiritually. I spent time doing three things: I got honest — I admitted I didn’t know enough to trade well. I got focused — I decided to stop chasing new strategies every week. I got prayerful — I asked God for wisdom and clarity,
not just quick profits. That’s when I discovered the power of keeping it simple. One clear setup. One strategy. One path forward. That’s when Breakthrough & Retest became the foundation of how I trade. 
The Strategy That Saved My Sanity: Breakthrough & Retest Here’s the exact strategy I use now: Identify a key level — previous day’s high/low, or a clea support/resistance. Wait for price to break through the level.
Then wait for it to retest the level (this is where most people get impatient and enter early). Look for a strong reaction candle (reversal wick or body closure in the new direction). Confirm direction with the 9 EMA. Use Heikin Ashi candles to stay longer in the trade and reduce noise.

Why I Blew My Accounts Before Let me be transparent. It wasn’t just the market — it was my mindset. I took random entries with no reason. I stayed in losing trades, hoping they’d turn around.
I didn’t know where my stop loss or take profit should be. I let FOMO (fear of missing out) lead me. I was trading on impulse, not instruction. 
The Results After I Committed to One Setup Everything changed when I committed to: On strategy One time of day One purpose: growth, not gambling Now: I win more than I lose I’m passing funded account evaluations I no longer feel confused when I open my charts I trade in peace — not panic 
What God Taught Me Through the Blown Accounts “Discipline is painful, but afterward it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.”
— Hebrews 12:11 God used my losses to teach me patience, self-control, and the value of simplicity. I was so focused on profit that I almost missed the process. But once I slowed down, let go of pride, and invited God into the process — everything began to shift.
