3am. Red portfolio. Liquidated. One tab open. I watched the last of my $5,400 vanish on a 50x $DOGE long. I wasn’t trading; I was gambling with a calculator, praying for a green candle that never came. The silence in my apartment was deafening, but it was the first time I actually stopped lying to myself. I traded the need to be right for the math of position sizing. Now, I risk 1% and sleep through the volatility. You aren't fighting the market; you're fighting your own ego. What was the trade that finally broke you?
