The Trade I Regret the Most – Learn from My Mistake! 💸

We all have that one trade that still stings, even after we’ve moved on. For me, it was buying $SOL at $245—a decision that taught me some painful but valuable lessons. Here’s how I got wrecked, what I learned, and how you can avoid the same fate.

📉 The Setup: FOMO Took Over

I was new to trading, and Solana was on fire, setting new all-time highs daily. Everyone was calling it the next Ethereum, and I kept waiting for a dip that never came. Eventually, at $245, I gave in. “This is going straight to $1,000,” I told myself.

💀 The Crash: Reality Hits Hard

Just days later, the market flipped. Bitcoin dumped, and Solana followed. $200… $150… $100… and before I knew it, $SOL was at $8.

The worst part? I never sold. Not at $200, not at $100, not even at $50. Why? Not because I believed in Solana—but because the loss was already so massive that selling felt pointless.

🛑 The Lessons (So You Don’t Get Burned)

✅ Avoid Buying at Peak Hype – If everyone is overly bullish, it’s often time to take profits, not enter.

✅ Have an Exit Plan – I should’ve set stop-losses or taken partial profits instead of holding blindly.

✅ Market Cycles Take Time – Yes, $SOL recovered, but it took years. Had I sold at $200+ and rebought at $10-$20, I could’ve 10x’d my portfolio.

📌 How I Trade Now

Instead of chasing pumps, I buy dips and scale in slowly. When I see parabolic moves, I take profits—even if I believe the coin has more upside. If I had done this at $245, I could’ve re-entered at $10 and turned my losses into massive gains.
