A recent trade taught me a harsh lesson on chasing green candles. I saw a coin pumping hard and jumped in without a plan. Within 10 minutes, price reversed, and I was trapped. I closed in a panic for a loss. Looking back, I realized I ignored all my trading rules. No entry signal, no stop-loss, and no analysis — just pure emotion. That trade humbled me. Now I have a sticky note on my screen: “No setup, no trade.” Every loss teaches something. This one taught me that discipline is more important than excitement. If you chase the market, it will punish you. If you plan your moves, it rewards you. Since then, I’ve stuck to my system — and my results have improved. Lesson learned the hard way.
