When a Single Trade Wipes Out $473—And What I’m Doing to Survive It
I took a position in $PIPPIN, and honestly?
I thought I had it figured out.
The charts looked right. The momentum felt real. I convinced myself this was the one that would finally break things open. Instead, I watched the candles flip. Red turned to deeper red. My conviction turned into denial, then panic, then that hollow feeling when you realize the loss is locked in.
$473 gone. Just like that.
I'm not going to pretend it's a small amount—because to me, right now, it's not. That’s real money. That’s meals, bills, things my family actually needs. And I let it slip through my fingers chasing a green candle that never came.
So now I'm sitting here, doing what a lot of traders won't admit to doing:
I'm praying.
Please, Allah, give me clarity. Give me patience. Give me the sense to know when to hold and when to walk away.
Because here’s the hard truth I’m learning in real time: Managing a loss isn’t about finding the next trade to win it back. That’s how you dig the hole deeper. Management starts right here—in the red, in the frustration, in the urge to revenge trade that I will not act on.
If you’ve ever sat in front of a screen watching your P&L bleed out and felt completely helpless—you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever had to whisper a prayer after a loss just to keep your head straight—I see you.
I don't know what comes next. Maybe $PIPPIN runs without me. Maybe it dumps harder. Either way, I’m stepping back, recalibrating, and reminding myself why I started this in the first place.
This isn't the end. Just an expensive lesson I'll try not to repeat.
