Trading is not a casino.
But most play just like that.
Here are the mistakes that cost real money — and in the end, I'll show you how to avoid all the traps 🧠
═══════════════════
1. "It will grow a bit more…" — and it doesn't 😬
Holding a trade without an exit plan — classic for a loss.
➡️ You would have exited at +20%, should have made a profit. Are you waiting for +50%?
…and you get -30%
Life hack: set take profits automatically!
═══════════════════
2. Trade based on “signals” from Telegram
"They said, $APT
it's going to fly!" — did you hear?
➡️ And how do you know this isn't a distribution on your shoulders?
Listen to the market, not bloggers. Analyze yourself.
═══════════════════
3. Forgot about the stop-loss = goodbye, balance
“I will set the stop manually if needed…” — it will never be needed.
➡️ The stop is your best friend.
Without it, you are unprotected.
═══════════════════
4. 10 coins in the portfolio = chaos
$TON, $SOL, $NEAR, $INJ, $WIF, $PEPE
… are you already confused?
➡️ When you don't know what exactly you are holding — the market knows you are weak.
2-3 coins max. And a complete understanding of why you are in them.
═══════════════════
5. Playing with the entire deposit
Saw the entry point — and jumped in with all $500?
➡️ One minus — and you are without psychology, without balance and without mood.
Split the entry. Always.
