$FOMO, Panic, and the Price of a Lesson
Man, I’ll never forget my rookie mistake — jumping into a random coin just because everyone on Twitter was hyping it up.
I bought right at the top, watched it crash, and panic-sold for a big loss.
Gut punch. 💸
🎯 What I learned?
Hype is a trap.
Now, I research the fundamentals, stick to my game plan, and tune out the crowd noise.
To rebuild my discipline, I started a trading journal:
📝 Every trade — why I entered, why I exited, and what I was thinking.
Reviewing it weekly helped me spot patterns, fix mistakes, and hold myself accountable.
💡 My Advice to New Traders:
Start small
Always set a stop-loss
Don’t chase the next moonshot
🚫 No shortcuts — trading is a marathon, not a sprint.
Stay patient. Stay sharp.
You’ll outlast the chaos driven by hype and greed. 🧠⚔️
