This wasn’t “bad luck.” It was a reality check.
Hard lessons, paid in full — so *you* don’t have to make the same \$15K mistake.
Here’s how I blew it… and how you can avoid the wreckage 👇
❌ 1. FOMO — The Ultimate Account Killer
I chased green candles like they were lifelines.
“IT’S PUMPING — I NEED IN!”
No strategy. No plan. Just vibes and adrenaline.
📉 Result? I bought someone’s exit and rode the crash straight down.
🧠 Lesson: If it’s mooning, you’re already late.
Smart entries happen when no one’s watching — not when the hype is peaking.
🌍 2. Blindfolded by Charts
I worshipped technical analysis and ignored the real world.
News? Who cares — the chart looks clean!
Until… a single headline nuked my “perfect setup.”
⚠️ Lesson: Charts can show the *how*, but news controls the *when*.
Don’t trade in a vacuum.
🎲 3. Overtrading — The Silent Slayer
No setup? I still clicked.
Why? Bored. Frustrated. Chasing losses.
Every red candle became a personal challenge — and I kept losing.
🚫 Reminder: No setup = no trade.
Your edge comes from discipline, not action.
🧘♂️ Final Words From a Trader Who Got Burned:
