Closed my AVAX/USDC futures trade last day with a 4.8% loss. Not the outcome I hoped for, but part of the game. I entered the position expecting a bounce, but the market had other plans. Rather than hold and hope, I stuck to my stop-loss and exited with discipline. Losses like this sting, but they also teach—risk management, emotional control, and the value of having a plan. Trading isn’t just about winning, it’s about surviving and evolving. I’m taking this as a lesson, not a failure. We move forward—smarter, steadier.
Sharing this to remind myself and others: it's okay to lose, just don’t lose the lesson.
