"Yesterday I Put $1000 And Lost It All… Today I Put Another $500 And Got Liquidated. What Am I Doing Wrong?"
Friend, I hear you. And I’ve been there.
Trading without a capital protection strategy is like skydiving without checking your parachute. It’s not courage — it’s recklessness.
The #1 Reason Traders Blow Accounts?
They trade without risk management. One bad move wipes out days, weeks, even months of effort.
The market isn’t against you — your approach is.
Here’s How Smart Traders Stay In The Game:
✔️ Never Risk More Than 1-3% Of Your Capital Per Trade
Losing one trade shouldn’t cripple you.
✔️ Use Trailing Stop Losses
Lock in profits while giving room for the trade to breathe.
✔️ DCA (Dollar Cost Average) Wisely
If you’re adding positions, plan them in advance — not emotionally.
✔️ Hedge When Necessary
Open a counter-position during uncertainty to offset potential losses.
✔️ Take Profits In Batches
Scale out on strength. Don’t wait for magic numbers.
✔️ Predefine Your Trade Plan
Before you enter, know your entry, stop loss, TP zones, and what would make you exit.
Protecting Capital = Longevity In The Markets
You won’t get rich by risking it all. You get rich by surviving, compounding, and being disciplined.
Trading is a game of probabilities, not certainties. Risk small, protect your capital, and let the market come to you.
