"I lost €1500 in a few minutes... and it was the best lesson of my life!"
I was convinced I understood the market. I had already made some gains, and this confidence, a bit too big, pushed me to take a huge risk.
One day, I spotted an opportunity in futures (forward contracts).
Without thinking too much, I entered a position with €1500 and a leverage of 25x.
In my mind, it was clear:
"This position is going to change my life. If it works, I’ll make an easy x3."
But the market had other plans...
In just a few minutes, a strong red candle completely reversed the trend.
I looked at the screen, helpless, my capital melted to zero.
That day, I learned three fundamental things:
Never invest all your capital in a single position.
High leverage can ruin you in the blink of an eye.
The market does not reward arrogance, but humility and discipline.
That loss hurt me, yes... but it also saved me.
I took a step back, reviewed my strategies, learned risk management, and got back on the road with a new mindset.
Conclusion:
If you have lost money, don’t think that it’s all over.
Defeat is not the opposite of success, it’s a step towards it.
Trading is not a game...
It’s a school of discipline, patience, and self-control.
