3am. Red portfolio. Liquidated. One tab open. I learned everything that night.
Back then, I was chasing $ADA at 50x, heart hammering, brain convinced the next candle would fix my rent. I wasn't trading; I was gambling for dopamine. Today, I sit down with a blank mind. If my heart rate is up, I don't touch the mouse. If I feel the need to "make it back," I close the laptop. I trade best when I am bored, when the money on the screen feels like nothing but math. My best setup is a quiet one.
Are you actually trading, or are you just chasing the rush?
