Today I Lost $9 — But Gained a Big Lesson 💡

I know $9 isn’t a huge amount. People lose thousands, even millions, in trading. But for me, as a student and beginner trader, this loss meant something. It taught me a rule I’ll never forget:

🧠 Don’t panic during a dip.

Here’s what happened:

I bought some coins at what I thought was a low price, expecting them to rise. But the price started dropping… fast. I panicked and sold everything.

Then just a few hours later… the same coin 2x’d.

I could’ve made a decent profit — if I had waited.

👉 What I learned:

If the price drops slightly (5–10%), don’t panic sell. Be patient.

You can use a stop-loss limit (e.g. 20% down) to auto-sell and avoid deep losses.

Small drops are normal. Even waiting 1–2 days can make a huge difference.

Emotional decisions = bad trades.

Trading isn’t just about charts and strategies — it’s about mindset and discipline.

This was just a $9 lesson, but it could save me hundreds in the future. Onwards and upwards 🚀
