3am. Red portfolio. Liquidated. One tab open. I learned everything that night.
I was staring at a DOGE chart, 30x leverage, convinced I’d hacked the system. I watched the liquidation candle wick right through my entry before I could even click 'close.' $2,100 gone in seconds. I thought I was trading; I was just gambling with a math problem I hadn’t solved yet. Now, I never risk more than 1% on any setup. I’d rather miss the move than donate to the exchange. What was the trade that finally made you walk away?
