The Story of My $5000 Loss in One Hour

I'd like to share a story that might be helpful to others. I made a significant mistake in my trading journey, losing $5000 in just one hour. Here are the key takeaways from my experience.

1. I took a short trade in a coin without setting a stop-loss, and it pumped up, resulting in a $5000 loss.

2. I didn't analyze or research the coin properly, and it turned out to be a scam coin with no fundamentals.

3. I took a short trade after the coin had already pumped up 25%, which was a mistake.

4. I entered the trade at the wrong time and made an impulsive decision.

5. I experienced FOMO (fear of missing out) and made a hasty decision, which led to a loss.

6. I didn't analyze or research the coin, didn't check its all-time high or low, and didn't consider its fundamentals.

7. I traded in a scam coin instead of a fundamental coin.

8. I didn't use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) or manage my funds effectively, and I didn't set a stop-loss.

9. I learned that making impulsive trades can lead to significant losses.

10. I removed the coins with no fundamentals from my portfolio.

I hope my story serves as a lesson to others. By learning from my mistakes, you can avoid making similar errors in your trading journey ¹.
