$NOM with leverage on 10/4 and held through adverse movement, the “pain” you’re feeling is usually what happens when:

position size is too large for the account

leverage amplifies normal price swings into account-threatening drawdowns

no hard invalidation was respected (or it got ignored)

hope replaces a defined exit plan

Right now, the most important thing is not the market — it’s damage control.

⚠️ Immediate focus (practical, not emotional)

If the position is still open: you need a clear exit plan (cut or reduce exposure before it worsens)

If it’s already closed: stop trying to “win it back” immediately — that’s where revenge trading starts

Avoid re-entering the same setup out of frustration
