#TradeStories A Trade That Didn’t Go as Planned

1. What went wrong?

I entered a long position on BNB right after a strong pump, thinking it was the start of a breakout. I ignored key resistance and didn’t wait for a proper retest. Price reversed quickly, and I got stopped out with a loss.

2. What did I learn?

FOMO is expensive. Chasing green candles without confirmation often leads to poor entries. The market doesn’t care about your excitement — it respects patience, levels, and discipline.

3. How will I adjust next time?

I now wait for confirmations: volume, retests, and confluence with trendlines/support. I also set clear invalidation points before entering, and I’ve started journaling every trade to improve decision-making.

Your turn — what’s a lesson you learned the hard way? #TradeLessons
