#TradeStories #Tradelesson After three years in the crypto trenches, had seen it all bull runs that felt like magic, crashes that came like avalanches, and lessons paid for in satoshis.

So when a new altcoin launched with a solid whitepaper, low cap, and major hype, I saw potential. I would've done my research, checked the wallets, scanned for red flags. Everything looked clean. I went in heavier than usual trusting my instincts and experience.

At first, it paid off. The price tripled in two days. I didn’t sell.

Then it doubled again.

I were sitting on a life changing profit, and still, I didn’t sell.

I will wait for the parabolic run,” I told myself. But the chart started to curl. Then dip. Then dive. I watched in real time as profits vanished, the community turned sour, and the devs went silent.

By the time got out, most of the gains were gone.

It wasn’t my first loss. But it stung more than the early ones because this one came not from ignorance, but from overconfidence.

That night, I sat with the charts and asked myself what i missed. The answer was simple: discipline. I would waited for the perfect entry but forgot to plan the exit.

I went back to my system, my strategy, my rules.

Now, every trade has a target and a stop. Every win is partial, every runner secured. I still trust my instincts but my system makes the final call.

Because experience isn’t just what i’ve seen. It’s what i do differently next time.
