📉 2 Legendary Traders. 1 Brutal Lesson.
1️⃣ Jesse Livermore (1907)
Known as the "Boy Plunger," he shorted the market during the Panic of 1907 and made millions. But he later broke his own rules, took oversized risks, and went broke several times.
👉 Knowing the market isn't enough. Discipline keeps you alive.
2️⃣ Nick Leeson (1995)
A trader at Barings Bank hid small losses in a secret account, then doubled down to win them back. The losses grew to about £827M and collapsed a 233-year-old bank.
👉 Hiding losses or "winning it back on the next trade" turns small mistakes into disasters.
💡 Takeaway: Use a stop-loss, size your positions, and never chase losses.
