3am. Red portfolio. Liquidated. One tab open. I learned everything that night.
I was staring at a $DOGE chart, heartbeat visible in my neck. I clicked 30x, convinced the wick was a trap. I thought I was a genius for calling the bottom. Four minutes later, a stray candle erased the collateral. $1,200 gone in a blink. I sat there in the dark, silent, waiting for the anger to turn into data. It took two years to stop chasing candles and start respecting the math.
Today, I trade size that lets me sleep. What was the trade that finally taught you to respect the stop loss?
