Sure am amused by this thread but certainly am not making fun 
Usually things are deeper than they appear, I am trying to understand people, markets and myself! I am yet to see a profession that reflects & magnifies a persons psychological makeup unlike trading. If Universe is a fractal, then I think trading perfectly captures all aspect of life/universe and in a weird way understanding trading-markets-people is my way of an attempt to grasp this universe/reality/life!
Read somewhere that "people exactly get what they want and what they deserve from markets!"
This applies even if they were losing, perhaps a part of them wants too !
Perhaps losing is a way of winning something else, for
eg: Initially you wanted to jump in trading with entry level knowledge but placed heavy bets to prove yourself as a bold person! Perhaps you always wanted to prove yourself (or to someoneelse) as one of those hotshots who made it big by just 'playing' smart (bcoz of sheer coolness-factor of the game!)!
you continued to lose because losing is well below your pain threshold,
you never took a disciplined approach in the beginning because you never *wanted* it !
why sit down and focus until the problem is big enough to cause a 'forced awareness' !
Eventually market gave you exactly what you wanted, i.e continued losses and a lingering pain that mildly exceeding your pain threshold!
Now after meeting both objectives (i.e proving yourself, a forced awareness) now you are on the next level.
A disciplined trader.
I think next levels could be becoming a 'professional trader' and then a 'Master trader' !
IMHO you never lost anything from DAY-1 , you simply are enjoying the ride and getting exactly what you wanted & deserved!
Goodluck with your journey
PS: I might be slightly(or completely) off the mark in understanding you, just wanted to share my thoughts.
