🤦♂️ Lesson #1: Chasing Green Candles is a Trap
My first few trades? I jumped in after seeing a coin pump 30%. Every time, it dumped right after. I learned to wait for setups, not emotions.
💸 Lesson #2: I Lost 40% in a Day Using Leverage
20x leverage felt like a shortcut to riches… until it wasn’t. A small dip liquidated my entire position. Start with spot trading. Leverage isn’t for learning.
🧠 Lesson #3: No Plan = Guaranteed Pain
I used to buy “because it felt right.” No target, no stop-loss, no reason. Now I plan every trade with an entry, exit, and stop before I click "Buy."
🔍 Lesson #4: Indicators Are Only Tools, Not Magic
I trusted RSI blindly — bought at 30, sold at 70. It worked until it didn’t. Indicators help, but only when paired with context and market structure.
🧘 Lesson #5: Emotional Trading is the Silent Killer
I revenge-traded after a loss. Doubled my bet to "win it back." Lost twice as much. Now I stick to a cool, mechanical system — no FOMO, no panic.
💡 The Turning Point:
I started journaling trades, reviewing losses, and only risking 1-2% per trade. Slowly, I turned around. Now I win more often, with less stress.
🔑 What You Can Do Today:

Focus on 1-2 strategies (like breakouts or support zones)
Always have a stop-loss, even if you’re confident
Learn from other traders’ mistakes — not just your own
