Sometimes you learn way more from getting wrecked than from nailing a trade. I was tracking probability shifts on this one position, and the exact moment I took the L? That's when the data was literally screaming at me to exit. But I didn't listen.
Looking back at those movement patterns now, the shift was obvious. The market gave me every warning sign. I just chose to ignore it. That's on me.

I've heard this kind of thing too many times—basically, you just can't bring yourself to cut your losses.

Well said, that's exactly it. The data is dancing right before our eyes, yet we just can't see it.
Honestly, the hardest part isn't reading the charts, it's listening to yourself.
It's only at the moment you cut your losses that you realize you should've exited earlier.
Lessons learned from losing money—this time I've really taken it to heart.
No matter how well you understand probability theory, execution is key.
It's only after being taught by the market that you truly understand what discipline means.
So cutting losses isn't admitting defeat—it's surviving to come back.

This is what we often say: "The market doesn't lie; it's only our own greed that deceives us."
