The $NIGHT trade made me deeply reflect on my own issues.

At that time, after entering on the 15-minute chart, the floating profit quickly reached $130. According to the established trading plan, I should have locked in some profits at this point. The safest approach is to exit immediately when the 15-minute chart breaks the horizontal support level, the 15EMA moving average, or a trendline. But at that moment, my mindset was off—holding onto a hope that the market might continue to rise, and as a result, I was stopped out directly by the market.

This was not the worst part. The real problem lay in margin management. If I had been stopped out purely due to market movement, the risk would have been controllable, and I could have broken even. But because I didn't control the leverage position properly earlier, I ended up losing $35.

Two clear lessons: first, follow trading discipline—when technical signals trigger an exit, you must exit; don't gamble on luck. Second, manage your position size and margin well—no matter how good the market looks, it can't withstand a liquidation.

Now I still hold $ZAMA, and this experience will make me more cautious in future trades.
