Looking back at my $PIPPIN entry, I still get that sinking feeling. The pump signal was clear—I spotted it coming—but I somehow let the trade close before capturing the full move. Here's what haunts me: without leverage, my position was already up 1,825%. That's solid. But the math on a 75x leverage setup? If I'd held through, I'd be looking at gains exceeding 136,875%. The trade had everything lined up perfectly. Missing that kind of magnitude stings, especially when the setup was textbook. It's a harsh reminder of how timing and risk management separate good trades from life-changing ones in this market.
