Every trader messes up. The difference is what you do next.
In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a real trading mistake I made during Friday's session with my Tesla position—a mistake that had me nervous all weekend. No theory. No hindsight gymnastics. Just real execution, real emotion, and real consequences.
That experience leads to a critical question every trader eventually faces: What should you do when you mess up a trade? Panic? Freeze? Double down? Or step back and fix the process?
I'll walk you through how I think about trade mistakes, how professionals manage damage control, and how to turn a bad decision into a long-term edge instead of a confidence killer.
If you trade real money, this episode will hit home.
