News reporters don't write the narrative - it is traders, analysts and economists.
"I did everything perfectly, but stuff outside my control blew up my otherwise winning trades - it would have been even worse if not for my quick thinking" is the correct answer for when your boss asks "Why did you lost $50million today?".
It is what he told his boss back in the 00's when he was in your seat and it is what some junior will tell you in 20 years time when you are in the corner office.
