From 125 down to 67—this isn’t bottom-fishing, it’s house-breaking. Surviving and waiting for a rebound is far harder than getting the direction right.

The most disastrous trade of the year was when I bottomed out SOL at the end of January.

At that time, SOL dropped from 148 back to around 125, and I thought the opportunity had come, planning to make a short-term move to earn some money for the New Year. But reality taught me a harsh lesson.

I bought the first position at 125, then added more at 115, 100, and 90. At that moment, I only had one thought: such a strong project like SOL couldn't keep falling forever.

But the market simply doesn't play by reason.

It dropped from 125 all the way down to a low of 67, with almost no decent rebound in between. I kept adding to my position as it fell, bringing my average price to around $85, and eventually my position became too heavy. I couldn't hold the funds anymore and was forced to liquidate and exit.

The most heartbreaking part was that later, SOL slowly recovered and rose again.

At that moment, I truly understood that in trading, the most important thing is never just predicting the right direction, but surviving until the move plays out.

Many people die before dawn, not because they judged incorrectly, but because of poor position and risk management.

Since then, I set a rule for myself: never gamble against the market, never add infinitely to a position, and never let one trade decide my fate.

There’s always another chance in the market, but once your account is gone, everything is lost.

This lesson was expensive, but it completely changed my understanding of trading.
