⭐ Learn from my Wins AND my Losses! Join my Challenge: https://www.timothysykes.com/millionaire-challenge/ This is a trade I'm not proud of, but you have to hear it. I broke all my rules—size, entry, exit—and paid the price: a $25K+ loss. Trading is a slippery slope. If you ditch the rules that make you successful, you will get punished. Learn from my mistakes: don't size up recklessly, cut losses quickly, and never let FOMO cloud your judgment. I’m sharing this not just to humble myself but to help YOU avoid blowing weeks (or months) of hard work in one bad trade. Drop a comment if this lesson hit home.
