Last bull run, I chased every green candle 🥲
I thought momentum meant safety.
Instead, I learned the hard way.
What changed: I bought tops, sold lows—lost 40% in a month.
Why it matters: Most losses come from chasing, not bad picks.
How it plays: FOMO pumps fade, disciplined setups last.
Action/guardrail: Journal every trade; enter only after retest or plan trigger.
Risk/invalidator: No system? You’ll repeat the same cycle of pain.
Discipline feels boring.
But boring is what keeps your portfolio alive.
