Took a loss on $SOL

today, and it was a classic case of ignoring my own stop-loss rules. Entered at $144 expecting a breakout above a key trendline, but the volume never followed through. Instead of cutting it at my pre-set $141 stop, I held on—and ended up exiting at $138, booking a 4.1% loss. Lesson here? Your first stop is usually the best exit. Discipline > ego.
