2 years back, I blew my trading account and it had my entire life savings plus loans I had taken hoping to repay them back. And that thing broke me to pieces. So I stopped looking at charts, and perfected my coding skills. Of course that was a hard decision I had ever made.

My reason for blowing my account: I was not getting any coding jobs at the time so I decided to use my float to pay for my rent. Worst mistake I ever made. I was emotional, under unnecessary pressure and was always trading with too much nerves.

As a dev, however, I know where the money is coming from and I don't have to worry so much about market shifts. I was also a pretty good SEO strategist and copywriter so I leaned more into those skills. Now, I want to get back but I think I have PTSD, if you can call it that.

I still interact with chats by offering bots, alert scripts, and other software, but I don't necessarily trade. I basically help traders create systems that will help them make less emotional trades like I did.

Has anyone ever experienced PTSD after getting burned by the market? And if so, how did you get over it?

PS: I'm afraid of even creating bots for myself. The problem is not the code, it's the PTSD and anxiety that comes with it. I can't just seem to shake it off. So, please don't tell me to make a bot for myself. I hope that makes sense.

This is a 2 part question: I've been working as a freelance SEO writer for a while now and the new fancy toy in town is GEO and AEO. So far, I've barely seen any results with most tools. Also, truth be told, most apps are vibe coded and barely have any logic reasoning behind them. Any recommendations or ideas you might have on how you get your articles pulled by AI and referenced? I'd love to hear from people who've actually done it for real. Not these new gurus (granted some of them do offer real gems) on social media.

Second part: Out of fear of being phased out of the market, I learned programming( MERN). Now 2 years later, blogging is still here, and I believe it's going nowhere (I might be biased though but who isn't). The only thing I've noticed is CTR is dropping and search is changing. I'd like to build something, during my spare time that's actually valuable to SEO experts and would help us get ahead in this market space. Anyway, I do have some ideas of my own, but I'd love to hear what you guys are facing, problems you think I could truly solve and yeah, any advice you got is 100% welcomed. Phew😅 that's long. But if you read it all, let's chat :)
