Biggest trading miss of the year:

Grabbed $ASTER when it was sitting at $0.092. Thing just exploded—50%, then 100%, then 150% stacked on top of each other. Wild momentum.

I could feel it was something special, so I set my target: hold for a 6x. Sounds reasonable, right?

Ended up closing the position at +200%. Decent trade.

Here's where it hurts: forty-eight hours later, $ASTER hit $2.

Pure upside.

Took a step back and the real lesson hit different. When you're watching gains compound in real-time, greed whispers louder than reason. That 6x target felt smart until it wasn't. The market doesn't care about your thesis—sometimes it just keeps running.

Some trades teach you about technical analysis. This one taught me about myself.

ASTER-0,47%

Buying the dip all the way to the middle of the mountain, just watching it soar into the sky... this is true missing out on the opportunity.

The 6x target sounds quite rational, but the market just loves to slap you in the face. The real story is at $2.

That's why we're all destined to fail; greed is really something that can't be changed.

Selling too early was really the end of it. When it rose to 2 dollars in 48 hours, I felt sorry for you... That was a battle between greed and rationality.
