Today, I made a costly mistake in futures trading on Binance that turned into a valuable lesson. I entered a high-leverage position on Solana (SOL), expecting a quick price surge based on recent bullish news. However, I failed to set a proper stop-loss and didn’t consider potential market pullbacks.

As the price briefly dropped, my position was liquidated, resulting in a significant loss. The mistake wasn’t just in the trade, but in my lack of discipline—I let emotion and hype override risk management and proper analysis.

From this experience, I learned the importance of using stop-loss orders, managing leverage wisely, and waiting for confirmed signals before entering trades. I also realized that no matter how strong the news looks, futures trading demands precision and a clear plan. This loss reminded me to respect the market and approach each trade with strategy, not just confidence.
