馃毃 Lessons from Losing $6.5k in Futures Trading 馃ゲ馃挭
Today, I lost around $6,500 USD from my futures wallet.
It鈥檚 painful, no doubt, but instead of dwelling on the loss, I鈥檝e decided to treat it as an expensive but valuable lesson. Here are the key takeaways:
1. Greed Is a Trap
I thought I understood this, but now I feel it. Greed clouds judgment and leads to poor decisions. Discipline and clear targets are non-negotiable.
2. Money Isn鈥檛 Everything
A significant financial loss shifts perspective. Money can be earned back, but time, health, and relationships hold far greater value.
3. Stick to Bitcoin
If I had focused on Bitcoin instead of chasing altcoins and risky futures trades, I鈥檇 have tripled my portfolio. Consistency and patience often outperform high-risk gambles.
4. You Can鈥檛 Predict the Market
The belief that I could outsmart the market was naive. Even the best traders operate on probabilities, not certainties.
5. Build Something Real
I wasted hours staring at charts, which added no value to my life. The best investment I can make is in my own business, where I have control and can create lasting value.
Final Thought:
Let money work for you鈥攏ot the other way around. This loss was costly, but the lessons learned are invaluable. Here鈥檚 to smarter decisions and a brighter future! 馃挭
