3am. Red portfolio. Liquidated. One tab open. I learned everything that night. The $DOGE candle that wiped my remaining margin wasn't a fluke; it was the final receipt for months of reckless 50x greed. I spent two years staring at charts until they stopped looking like lines and started looking like psychology. I trade smaller now, but I sleep better. The $5,400 wasn't just tuition—it was the price of my ego. If you’re still chasing the 100x, what is it actually costing you to be right?
