Back in 2021, one single Adani group stock did something wild. In just three weeks it handed me my entire year's trading profit. One position, three weeks, a whole year's worth of gains. I genuinely thought I'd figured it out.
Then greed took over. I didn't sell early enough. Every exit point came and went, and each time I convinced myself it had more room to run, that selling now meant leaving money on the table. So I just held on.
Months later the correction arrived and quietly took most of it back. That beautiful year's-worth of profit melted away in front of me while I kept waiting for a bounce that never really came.
I kept exactly one screenshot from the peak. Just one. Not to brag, not to relive the high. I keep it as a reminder of what discipline was supposed to look like in that moment, and what I chose to do instead. It sits there as proof that I had the win in my hands and let it slip.
