The screen flickered, ADA charts taunting me. "Just a minor correction," I muttered, convincing myself. Then SOL dipped harder. "Perfect, a chance to average down," I thought, heart pounding, throwing more into the 50x long. Every drop became "temporary," every rally "the start of the real pump." When DOGE joined the freefall, I was sure it was "market manipulation before a massive short squeeze." My mind built an entire fantasy, each narrative a thicker blanket over the brutal reality of my account bleeding out. $600 gone in hours. The worst part? I *believed* every single lie.
What story did you invent to justify a bad trade?
