💭 My First Crypto Trade – What Went Wrong (And What I Learned)

I still remember my first real crypto trade. I jumped into Futures, thinking I’d catch a quick move and double my money. Instead? I got liquidated within an hour.

I didn’t fully understand leverage, didn’t set a proper stop-loss, and worst of all — I entered purely out of FOMO after seeing a green candle.

That trade taught me more than any YouTube video ever could. I learned that emotions are your biggest enemy, and without a plan, even a good entry can go bad fast.

Now I approach the market differently:

✅ Always define risk per trade

✅ Never chase pumps

✅ Respect the trend and price levels

✅ Stick to the strategy, not emotions

🔒 My advice to beginners:

Start with spot, learn technicals, risk only what you can lose, and treat every loss as a lesson — not a failure.

I’m still learning, but I know now: success in crypto trading is about discipline, patience, and survival.
