You shouldn't stop trading. Even though the market had plummeted badly this year, you can still make a profit. It's better little than zero, or worse, negative, right? Just go on with the flow and always play safe. You can try daytrading and margin trading. I know some people who survive the market nowadays because of these, even I do. What you need to stop right now is hodling 'coz that would only bury you in heavy losses. Trade it, so that it'll grow and you'll somehow make profit.
If you want to be a successful trader, you need to face this kind of situation and if you will survive and still profitable then for sure you have
better chance in the bull market. With difficulties, it will help us and improve our skills in trading, as long as the market is still volatile, we can make money
by day trading.
