1️⃣ Reflection: the rule I will never break again

Never average down on a losing position without a clear reversal signal. It used to seem like: “I’ll buy more even at a lower price to reduce the average.” But the market can fall endlessly, and the deposit can’t. Now it’s only a strict stop-loss and adding to a profitable position according to the trend.

2️⃣ Breakdown: the most painful trade and its lesson
A legendary mistake: going long on a meme coin on hype without a stop. First +40%—greed kicked in and didn’t take profit. Then -20%, and it decided, “It’ll make it back.” In the end, -90% in a single night due to a liquidity dump.
Lesson: “The market doesn’t owe you a comeback. Taking profit in parts and a hard stop-loss are the only protection against a cascading loss.”

3️⃣ Advice to yourself on the first day of trading

“Don’t chase 1000% in a week. Learn to preserve capital—that’s more important than catching a rally. Spend 3 months only on risk management: 1-2% per trade, a stop based on volatility, and no overtrading. And yes, in 80% of cases it’s better not to touch the mouse than to enter a questionable position.”

Psychology matters more than strategy. Behind every candle are greed, fear, and hope. The winner isn’t the one who guesses more often, but the one who survives after a streak of losses.
