$FET got stopped out right before erupting 32% higher—the kind of setup that would make for a killer highlight reel. Easy to retroactively claim credit. But here's what actually went down, what traders quietly live through every single day. The gap between reality and what floods your feed? Massive. Everyone's obsessed with chasing the perfect trade, flawless entries, seamless exits. Makes sense though—that's literally all the internet shows you. Nobody posts their liquidations, their whipsaws, their close calls that almost cost them everything. Social media curates perfection; trading dishes out humility in spades.

Making operational mistakes is something everyone has experienced, but no one dares to post about it haha

Honestly, being stopped out and then rising 32% is the most disgusting feeling. The circle of friends is full of winners showing off, no one dares to post screenshots of margin calls.

Really, I was stopped out and then it reversed to a 32% increase... Just looking at the feed can drive people crazy, but that's trading—every day is a show.

Stop-loss just before the surge, that's trading for you, there's nothing more to say.

I understand the feeling of missing out on a 32% increase...
