“This 1 Mistake Cost Me $470 In Crypto — Don’t Repeat It.”

by Asmit

I want to be honest with you.
Because not talking about losses is why most traders never grow.

Here’s what happened:

The Setup:
I spotted a perfect breakout on SOL. RSI was low, volume rising.
I entered with confidence — $1,200 in.
No stop-loss.
Because I was “sure” this time.

The Mistake:
I didn’t plan the exit.
I watched it move +5%, then got greedy.
Waited for more…
Market turned. Fast.

In 15 minutes, I lost $470.

Why?
Because I let emotion control logic.
I broke my own rules.
I let a winning trade turn into a loss.

What I Learned:

Always set a stop-loss.

Don’t chase more profits — take what the market gives.

One good trade is better than ten emotional ones.

Discipline beats prediction, every time.

Since then?
I trade smaller.
I write my plan before I click “buy.”
And I never let my ego take over again.

If you’ve ever made a painful trade — you’re not alone.
But if you learn from it, you’re already ahead of 90% of traders.

Have you ever blown a trade from emotion?
