What I Learned From a $32,400 Loss Since November 2024

It wasn’t just the loss — it was how quickly I ignored what I knew, and how long I clung to bias.

1. Clear ChoCH to the other side? I held.

2. Market printed a clean BoS, pulled back to my break-even — I still held.

3. Negative news? I averaged down.

4. RSI divergence? I denied it.

5. Clear rejection? I dismissed it.

6. The market didn’t punish me. I did.

It wasn’t just about breaking my plan — it was about refusing to see the truth when it was right in front of me.

Biggest lesson?

1. Never negotiate with your rules.
2. But more importantly — make sure your rules are based on truth.
