🚫 The Trade I Regret the Most – Don’t Make My Mistake! 💸
We all have that one trade—the one that still stings, even after bouncing back. For me, it was $SOL at $245. Here’s how I got wrecked, what I learned, and how you can avoid making the same mistake.
📉 The Setup: FOMO Took Over
I was just starting out, and hype was at its peak. Solana was breaking new highs daily, and everyone called it "the next Ethereum." I kept waiting for a dip that never came. At $245, I finally gave in.
“This is going straight to $1000,” I thought.
💀 The Crash: Reality Hit Hard
A few days later, Bitcoin dumped, and $SOL followed.
$200… $150… $100... before I knew it, $SOL was at $8.
Here’s the worst part: I didn't sell. Not at $200, not at $100, not even at $50.
Why? Not because I believed in Solana—it was hard to believe in any coin after a 95% drop. I just held because the loss already felt permanent.
🛑 The Lessons (So You Don’t Get Burned)
✅ Avoid Buying During Extreme Hype: If everyone’s screaming bullish targets, it’s probably time to take profits, not enter.
✅ Always Have a Plan: Set stop-losses and take partial profits. Blindly holding is a gamble.
✅ Understand Market Cycles: Recovery can take years. Selling at $200+ and rebuying near $10 could have 10x’d my portfolio.
📌 How I Trade Now
👉 Buy dips, scale in slowly instead of chasing pumps.
👉 Take profits during parabolic moves—even if it feels like there’s more upside.
👉 Stay strategic, not emotional.
