It was approximately 3 a.m. I had the phone in my hand, an open position, and the chart lighting up a room that should have been completely dark. I wasn't analyzing. That's the first thing I understood after. I was waiting. Waiting for a candle to do something I needed it to do. And that difference seems small. But it can cost you a lot of money. --- For a long time I thought my problem was not knowing enough. That I needed to learn more technical analysis.
I’m not trying to look like a trader. I don’t have a Lamborghini. I don’t have a secret strategy. And I definitely don’t have the account I’d like to have.
I have mistakes.
Many.
I lost more than **USD 16,000** doing exactly what I swore I would never do.
And the worst part is that I keep entering the market.
But now there’s one difference:
**I stopped trying to look successful.**
If I win, I’ll show it.
If I lose, also.
If in 6 months I’m still exactly in the same place, this profile will be the proof.
And if one day I manage to get out of this hole, I want to be able to look back at the first posts and remember how ridiculous it was to think I could recover years of work in just a few trades.
$龙虾 i am tired of binance, i'm tired of trading, i'm tired of manipulation, i'm tired that the ones who have more win, what a fucking disgust the coin i get hits SL and then it falls, that's why i don't use SL, that's why i risked with the garbage of $QNT
100$ of the capital I have, 100USDT, all my investment, I'm going to 7x short at this damn piece of garbage coin $BTW —it looks like a gummy bear in its chart Sl : 1.45 I assume 14USDT loss if my SL gets hit tp : 1.10 lower, we'll see what happens. On October 2nd they release tokens; seeing how this garbage is, the most likely thing is that it goes up, that's why the SL
Nobody sees the hours spent working, the millions of operations that are expected to happen and generate profit—until they flip it into a loss out of fear. Then they realize they wouldn’t have lost anything. The millions of times it happened to me.
The months of saving.
The plans.
The times I thought I was finally getting my life back on track.
Nobody sees the moment when a person starts believing that one operation can solve everything.
I did.
And now I have a number I can’t delete:
**USD 16.629.**
Plus a debt of **USD 1.569**. $QNT
The most expensive lesson I learned:
**When you need an operation to go right so your life can be okay again, you’re no longer risking money. You’re trying to buy peace of mind.**
