That One Trade That Changed How I View Losses

Nothing is more aggravating than seeing a trade go against you right in front of your eyes. I have had my fair share of such incidents when I was so sure of my setup, only for the market to reverse on me within a split second. It's annoying, but in time I came to understand that losses don't break traders, it's how they handle them. Risk management, being able to adapt and also being able to know when to walk away are what actually count.

I saw this morning that Bitget has a Rebirth Boost promotion which includes some loss protection and 100 USDT compensation for users who are trying out trading bots. It made me think about how having a buffer, be it risk management, good strategy, or even small safety nets can allow traders to stay in the game longer.

Ultimately, trading is less about winning streaks. It's about remaining durable, learning from your losses, and ensuring that a single bad trade does not knock you out permanently.
