Trader's Diary: The Path to Growth Through Failures

Last wrote here in December 2023. Replenished the balance with $100 and started. Without settings, I jumped into token $OM , which had collapsed by 90%. For two days, I caught volatility.

Sunday: +26% to the deposit. Monday: +15%. Tuesday: -$7, but cashback saved the day in the plus. Then I lost 40% of the profit: pings, errors, and lack of sleep got in the way. I started to gamble.

Without rules, even early success means nothing. It's hard to control emotions. I learn from my mistakes.

Why Routine is Important

Everyone wants to jump in, but success is built on details: registration, terminal, proxy.

- Write down a trading system

- Enter and exit in parts

- Keep emotions under control

- Set up a workspace

- Record trades

- Stop-loss is mandatory

- Don't catch falling knives

- Without cashback, you lose money

- Start with at least $10

Make corrections

Caught a series of stop-losses — stopped. I will set everything up correctly.

I want to keep a diary here. I will start, even if it's not perfect. The path to results goes through action.

P.S. I see how guys aged 14-17 achieve results. But hardly anyone writes about their mistakes. I learn from my own.
