I used to think trading was just “buy low, sell high” — until I lost my first $50 faster than I could blink 😅
But instead of giving up, I decided to learn the truth behind why most traders fail — and start building my journey publicly, one smart decision at a time 💪
Here’s what I’ve learned so far 👇
❌ Mistake 1: Trading without a plan
I used to jump into trades just because the price looked low. Now I wait for a reason — like a structure shift, liquidity sweep, or order block retest (yes, I use SMC 🔍).
❌ Mistake 2: No risk management
Losing trades hurt more when you don’t protect your capital. Now I risk less than 2% per trade, and I feel so much calmer even if I take a loss.
❌ Mistake 3: Revenge trading
After a loss, I used to overtrade trying to “win it back.” It’s a trap. Stepping away, breathing, and reviewing your setup works way better 🧘♀️
What I’m doing differently now ✨
• I journal every trade (including why I took it and how I felt)
• I stick to my own strategy — not Twitter hype
• I post my journey and wins/losses so others can learn too
I’m not perfect — but every day, I get a little smarter 💖
