I didn't lose to the market. I lost to myself.
Every deposit I made went up 20% to 50%.
Every time, I watched it grow.
Every time, I told myself "a little more."
Every time, I never listened to my own voice saying "get out."
The profit was real. For a few hours, it was mine.
Then I let it go back.
A farmer doesn't leave ripe wheat in the field and hope the weather holds. He harvests.
I was a good planter. I was a bad harvester.
So I'm changing one thing: the exit gets decided before the entry.
Take-profit set when the trade opens. Stop-loss set when the trade opens. No deciding while my heart is racing.
I don't have the complete solution yet. When I find it, I'll share it here.
If you trade, ask yourself one question: do you know where you will exit before you enter?
