🔴 MY BIGGEST LOSS YESTERDAY — −$72.89
Yesterday wasn’t only about the final +$91.41 profit. There were some pretty painful trades along the way too. 😁📉
💥 My biggest loss came from LSKUSDT.
📉 SHORT LSKUSDT
💸 Loss: −$72.89
📊 Move against the position: 2.94%
🎯 I started building a short position while LSK was accelerating upward, expecting the move to lose momentum and a correction to follow.
🚀 But the market kept pushing the price higher. I added to the position several times, but the correction I was waiting for never came.
🛑 Eventually, I had to accept that I was wrong and close the trade at a loss.
🧠 And I think showing trades like this is even more important than showing the winners.
The mistake wasn’t opening a short and then watching the price continue higher. Being wrong about direction is a normal part of trading.
⚠️ The real problem was allowing one trading idea to turn into a −$72.89 loss during a challenge that started with just $100.
😏 Ironically, later LSK became one of the coins that helped me recover the drawdown, and I eventually finished the day with +$91.41 net profit. 🟢
But that doesn’t make the original trade a good one.
📌 A profitable day doesn’t mean every decision made during that day was correct.
💡 Sometimes the most valuable lesson comes from your worst trade.
📈🔥 The challenge continues.
