Jesse Livermore: The Man Who Could Make Millions But Couldn't Master Himself.

Jesse Livermore was a Wall Street legend. He made fortunes before the Great Depression, predicted market crashes, and wrote principles that traders still follow today. But behind the brilliance was a man who couldn’t master himself.

He lost his entire fortune three times, not because of the market, but because of his own inner turmoil.

“The market is never wrong. Opinions often are.” — Jesse Livermore.

He could read charts but not his own emotions. Success inflated his ego. Losses triggered revenge trading and desperation. Livermore became the symbol of a genius undone by his own psychology. His story isn’t about failure. It’s a reminder that intellect and talent mean little without inner balance.

Mastering capital begins with mastering yourself. The market never forgives those who lose connection with who they are.
