Lesson Learned: The Siren Song of 'Just One More'

Evening all, just joined up. Been in the trenches of forex and some crypto for about 8 years now. One mistake that still makes me wince is classic overtrading, particularly after a decent win. I'd hit my daily target, feel invincible, and then convince myself that "just one more" quick scalp on $EURUSD or $BTC would be easy money. More often than not, that 'one more' turned into a series of increasingly desperate entries, giving back half the day's gains, sometimes more. It's a humbling reminder that discipline isn't just about sticking to your plan when things are tough, but also when they're going too well.
