I just want to ask as a comparison with what I do. It's no secret if there are traders who experience losses in their trading even to the point of experiencing a margin call (mc) then it certainly affects psychology, right, usually how long can you recover psychologically and move on from the adversity and try to start trading again?
If you don't mind, also give the tips to quickly restore that psychological freshness

If we have just experienced a margin call then don't trade again, rest first until we can control our emotions and minds so that they are calm

The time it takes to improve psychology after experiencing a margin call can vary widely depending on the individual trader and the severity of the experience. A margin call can be a significant emotional event that can cause feelings of fear, anxiety, and frustration.

Some traders may be able to recover from a margin call relatively quickly by taking time to reflect on their mistakes and develop a plan to avoid similar situations in the future. They may seek the help of a professional therapist or coach to work through the emotions associated with the margin call.

Other traders may require more time to recover from a margin call, especially if it has led to significant financial losses or has caused them to question their abilities as a trader. In these cases, it may take several months or even years to rebuild confidence and trust in one's trading abilities.

It is important to note that the psychological impact of a margin call can vary depending on the trader's experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation. Some traders may be more resilient than others and may be able to bounce back quickly from a margin call.

Ultimately, the key to improving psychology after a margin call is to acknowledge the experience, learn from it, and take proactive steps to prevent it from happening again in the future. This can involve developing a more robust risk management strategy, improving trading discipline, and seeking the help of professionals if needed.

I think one month is enough time to recover your psychology which was damaged because you experienced a margin call.
