The clock hit 2 AM. My eyes were glued to the ADA chart, 100x levered. It was dipping, hard, but my stop loss was tight, just a few points below where I was about to get crushed. I *knew* what I should do. But a voice whispered, "Just ride it. It's a quick shakeout. Look at the volume, it *has* to bounce." So I moved the stop manually, *just a tiny bit*. Then I closed my laptop, convinced I'd manually manage it if it got worse. Woke up an hour later, heart pounding. Checked my phone. Liquidation email. $600 gone. All because I thought I was smarter than my own plan, just once.

Ever had that "just this once" moment ruin everything?
