#TradeStories 😭
Just a few hours ago, I got liquidated on my $ENA trade. Everything looked perfect — the market was stable, momentum was strong, and $ENA had just broken a key level. I entered with confidence, convinced it was ready to push higher. I went in with high leverage, expecting a clean breakout. But I made one major mistake: I didn’t place a stop loss. #AltcoinTrade
I was too sure the market would keep climbing. The setup was solid, the charts aligned, and sentiment was bullish. But I ignored the one rule that protects us from the unexpected — managing risk.
Then came the classic crypto move: a sudden, sharp pullback across altcoins. Within minutes, $ENA dropped hard. My position couldn’t survive the volatility, and I watched it hit liquidation. Painful. Not because the trade idea was bad, but because I let confidence override caution.
Ironically, $ENA has bounced a bit since then. My direction wasn’t completely wrong — but my risk management was. That’s the cruel truth about trading: you can be right and still lose, if you don’t protect yourself.
Lesson learned: it’s not just about being on the right side of the trade. It’s about staying in the game long enough to see it play out. From now on, stop loss isn’t optional — it’s mandatory.
Losses hurt, but they teach.
