🧠 Learning Through Loss: My Trading Strategy Mistakes and What They Taught Me
Trading is a journey — and like any journey, it's full of bumps, wrong turns, and valuable lessons.
When I started out, I thought I had it all figured out: a few indicators, some hype-driven calls, and the confidence of beginner’s luck. But reality hit fast.
⚠️ My Mistake: Chasing the Pump
One of my biggest early mistakes was buying into a coin just because it was trending. I ignored fundamentals, didn’t set a stop-loss, and entered purely out of FOMO. The result? A painful 40% drop within days.
🔁 What I Learned:
Never trade without a plan.
FOMO is not a strategy — discipline is.
Protecting capital is more important than chasing every gain.
Since then, I’ve shifted focus to risk management, sticking to strategies I understand, and keeping emotions in check.
