Strategy was solid. Entry points hit the mark. The reasoning checked out.
But here's where things fell apart:
I got attached to positions that should've been cut. Stopped taking profits when I was supposed to. And honestly? Risk management went out the window.
That's the real killer—not the plan itself, but how I executed it.
Bottom line: If you mess with your exits and let risk discipline slide, your wins turn into losses faster than you think. Respect the rules or watch your gains disappear.

You're absolutely right. No matter how perfect the plan is, failure in execution is pointless. I've been through that before.

Exactly right, a perfect plan is useless if you don't execute the exit strategy.

Poor execution can really ruin everything. I resonate so much with this.
