3am. My bedroom light was the only thing on, casting a shadow over my $ADA chart. I had 100x leverage on a tiny bounce, praying for a green candle to wipe out my $5,400 hole. I watched the liquidation wick tear through my account like a chainsaw. I wasn't trading; I was gambling out of boredom and desperation. Watching that cash vanish in seconds hurt less than the realization that I’d forced a trade that didn't exist. Now, I wait days for a setup. How long did it take you to stop chasing?
