🔹I lost 40% of my portfolio in 3 trades — and it was the best thing that happened to me.
🔹Ever gone “all-in” on a breakout just to get rugged? I did. Three times. In one week.
🔹I ignored my stop-loss, chased green candles, and thought I was smarter than the market. Classic beginner mindset. But those losses taught me more than any YouTube tutorial:
— Always have an exit plan.
— Never risk more than 2–3% per trade.
— Emotional FOMO is your worst enemy.
I started journaling every trade, accepting smaller wins, and compounding discipline instead of hope.
