All-in the wrong bet and watched my entire net worth evaporate. The worst part? Knowing exactly when I should've exited but didn't. Every trader hits this wall eventually—that gut-wrenching moment when conviction turns into capitulation. Looking back, the flags were everywhere. Overleverage. FOMO-driven timing. Zero risk management. The market doesn't care about your conviction; it cares about position sizing and emotional discipline. Some lessons you only learn by bleeding.

That's why I only dare to try small amounts now; once my mindset collapses, it's really hard to recover.

Really, seeing posts like this just reminds me of my own blood, sweat, and tears... knowing I should have run but didn't, that feeling is truly unforgettable.

That's why I never go all-in. Watching others get liquidated really hurts.
