2025 Year-End Portfolio Reflection 🧭

As the year winds down, here's the honest truth: it's been tough. Spent countless hours on fundamental research, grinding through technical analysis patterns, and charting price movements to share insights with the community. The learning curve was steep—identifying support levels, reading market structure, spotting momentum shifts.

But here's where it hurt: poor execution. Failed to lock in gains when momentum peaked. Held losers too long, hoping for reversals that never came, and watched those red positions compound into bigger damage. Classic mistakes—letting emotion override the exit strategy.

The real lesson? Discipline beats analysis. You can have the best charts and strongest conviction calls, but if you can't pull the trigger on stop losses or secure profits at resistance, the edge disappears fast. Technical skills matter, but risk management and emotion control? Those are everything. 2025 taught me that the hard way.
