Stop gambling. Start trading smart. Here are 7 common traps plus 3 extra mistakes you might not even realize you're making:
1️⃣ Excessive Leverage🆘
Increasing leverage to 20x–50x may seem powerful… until a candle liquidates you.
Smart Tip: Use a maximum of 2x–5x and always protect with a stop-loss.
2️⃣ Trading with Emotions🫨😱
FOMO on green candles? Selling in panic during dips? You're not trading — you're reacting.
Smart Tip: Let your strategy speak. Set alerts and step away.
3️⃣ Ignoring Safety😏😒
A phishing link or a fake airdrop = instant rug pull.
Smart Tip: Use a hardware wallet, 2FA, and save official sites as favorites.
4️⃣ Blind Copies😵😵💫
Following random calls on Twitter without research? That's a shortcut to holding dead bags.
Smart Tip: Study the project's fundamentals: supply, team, use case, and roadmap.
5️⃣ Chasing Losses🙆📉
Lost a trade and are 'trading for revenge' to recover? Big mistake.
Smart Tip: Cool your head, record the loss, and reset your mind.
6️⃣ No Real Strategy🧠👀
Entering trades without a setup is pure luck — and luck runs out.
Smart Tip: Use a proven system (support/resistance, breakouts, etc.) and master it.
7️⃣ FOMO Buying🫨😫😩
If it's trending on TikTok or Twitter — you're probably late.
Smart Tip: Wait for pullbacks or plan re-entries. Don't chase greens.
8️⃣ Ignoring Risk Per Trade☠️💀
Risking 50% of your capital on a trade? You're asking to blow up.
Tip: Risk 1–2% per trade at most. Let the math protect you.
9️⃣ Neglecting Your Journal🫣✍️
No records = no growth. You can't fix what you don't track.
Tip: Record each trade — wins and losses — and study your patterns.
🔟 Overtrading🚀🙆☠️
Too many trades lead to burnout and careless mistakes.
Tip: Quality over quantity. Trade only when your setup is clear.
