$SOL Futures – Honest Trading Lesson (My Mistake)
Today I made a classic futures mistake, so sharing this as a reminder for everyone (and myself).
I opened a SOLUSDT LONG:
• Entry: 133.5
• Size: 4 SOL
• Leverage: 6x isolated
The problem?
❌ I forgot to set my trailing stop / stop-loss.
Market didn’t care about my feelings 😅
SOL kept bleeding, buyers never showed up, and price dropped to ~127.
📊 Result:
• PNL: –$25 USDT
• Closed manually and accepted the loss.

🧠 Lessons Learned (Very Important)
1️⃣ No Stop = No Trade
2️⃣ Leverage longs in a weak market = low probability
3️⃣ Small loss > big regret
4️⃣ Discipline protects capital, hope destroys it
⸻
🔍 Market Insight
Right now, SOL buyers are weak and momentum is bearish.
Better plays are:
• Shorts on resistance
• Spot DCA at strong support
• Waiting for structure flip before longing futures

✅ Final Thought
Losses are part of the game.
Blown accounts come from ignoring rules, not from taking losses.
Learn, reset, and trade smarter 💪
