$EPT Trade Post-Mortem: The Stop-Loss Wake-Up Call

The Cold Reality:

✔️ Good entry - retest with volume

✔️ Early paper profits

💥 Critical Fail: No stop set → full reversal

What Went Wrong

The chart screamed reversal, but fatigue made me ignore the signs. I broke my iron rule: ALWAYS set a stop-loss at entry. $EPT's violent flip proved why - markets don't care about your 'obvious' uptrend. Now bleeding instead of banking. Lesson: Your first profit is the market's collateral - protect it like your life depends on it.

Blood-Bought Rules:

1️⃣ Stop-loss = Entry Tax(set it IMMEDIATELY)

2️⃣ Trends die faster than hopium(trade the chart, not vibes)

3️⃣ Fatigue kills accounts (walk away after 3hrs)
