I came dangerously close to every trader’s worst-case scenario. 😵💫
The Plan: Open a small, controlled long on $SOL — just 5 $SOL
SOL
135.91
+2.84%
, around $800.
The Mistake: I got distracted and accidentally entered 160 $SOL , opening a $30,000 position instead.
I didn’t realize until 10 minutes after the order was filled. By pure luck, I was up $223, and I closed it immediately. My heartbeat was in overdrive. This wasn’t a win — it was a disaster narrowly avoided.
⚠️ Let this be a wake-up call:
✅ Always double-check your position size — one typo can wipe you out.
✅ Never trade when distracted.
❌ Luck is NOT a trading strategy.
Trade smart, not scared.
