About I Quit Trading Wall
Built by traders, for traders.
Our Story
The I Quit Trading Wall was born from our own painful experiences in the markets. Like many traders, we've felt the devastation of blown accounts, revenge trading, and the emotional toll that comes with significant losses.
After seeing countless stories on forums and social media of traders who lost everything—their savings, relationships, and sometimes even their homes—we realized there was no central place for these cautionary tales to be shared and learned from.
Instead, the trading industry continues to promote "get rich quick" narratives while hiding the reality that most traders lose money. We wanted to create a space of raw honesty about the dark side of trading.
Our mission is twofold:
- Provide a platform for traders to anonymously share their stories and process their experiences
- Create a resource for new and struggling traders to learn from others' mistakes before making them themselves
These confessions aren't just stories—they're warnings, lessons, and often, the tough reality check that many traders need. By sharing these experiences openly, we hope to foster a more honest conversation about trading and risk management.
Our Values
Honesty Above All
We believe in raw, unfiltered truth about trading. No sugar coating, no false promises—just real experiences.

Education Through Experience
