Ever changed your whole strategy after a few losses?

Not long ago, I hit a point where my trading felt off, like I was forcing setups that weren’t really there. I used to think spot trading was boring or only profitable if you had serious capital. After a few painful losses in leverage plays, I considered leaving trading and just hodling.

But a convo with a friend made me pause, he reminded me that volatility without structure can wipe you out fast. So, I took a step back and started reevaluating everything. I went back to basics and gave spot trading a real chance. Slower, yes, but also more sustainable. The drawdowns weren’t as brutal, and I had time to adjust without panicking.

Around that time, I came across a spot trading challenge on Bitget. Nothing major, but the idea of earning a bit extra while testing my consistency appealed to me. I didn’t go all-in. I split entries, scaled carefully, and approached it more like a daily routine than a chase for quick flips.

Now, even without closing a huge win yet, I feel more in control. The stress is lower, and the decisions feel clearer. Curious if anyone here has had a similar pivot, did you ever switch your strategy after a string of losses? Or do you double down and stick to what you know?
