🔥 Why I Got Cooked on Tuesday
Yo fam, I’m keeping it real with you. I got cooked for $1,000 on Tuesday, and here’s exactly why so you don’t repeat it. 1. I rushed the setup I glanced at the chart, liked the pullback, and jumped in without checking the higher timeframe. If I would’ve looked at the 1H, I would’ve seen two big wicks rejecting the same level — clear strong demand. That zone was never weak. 2. I forgot it was a holiday Veterans Day = banks closed = no institutional volume. Low liquidity, fake momentum, and news-driven reactions. That big push down wasn’t the trend — it was just a low-volume overreaction. 3. I traded straight into a major support zone That candle slammed into a strong support, stalled, then reversed. With no big players in the market, there wasn’t enough selling pressure to break it. Market simply tapped the zone → rejected → filled the imbalance → pushed up. The lesson? Slow down. Check the higher timeframe. Check if it’s a holiday. Respect your zones. Paid $1K for that lesson… might as well make sure you don’t pay the same tuition 😭
