📌 Why Most New Traders Lose Money — and 5 Rules That Could Save You

Let’s be real:

💀 Most beginners blow up their first account.

But it’s not because they’re stupid.

It’s because no one teaches them the rules that actually matter.

Here are the 5 rules I wish someone screamed at me on Day 1:

⚠️ Rule 1: Cut Losers Fast

Holding a red bag, hoping it’ll “bounce back”?

That’s how accounts die.

🎯 Set your stop-loss.

🔒 Stick to it.

🛑 Hope is not a strategy.

📊 Rule 2: Trade Small Until You’re Consistent

That “big conviction” trade? It’s probably an emotional gamble.

🔥 Start tiny.

🧠 Build confidence.

📈 Scale only after you have data to back your edge.

🧠 Rule 3: Track Every Trade

If you don’t log your trades, you won’t learn a damn thing.

✍️ Record your entries, exits, mindset, and mistakes.

Your trading journal is both your mirror and your map.

💸 Rule 4: Risk > Reward

Most traders chase wins. The pros manage losses.

Before you click “Buy,” ask:

💭 “How much am I willing to lose?”

If you can’t answer that, you’re gambling — not trading.

⏳ Rule 5: Don’t Trade Every Day

Some of your biggest losses come from boredom.

🚫 No setup? No trade.

💡 Patience is a position.

Stick to these 5 rules and you’ll dodge 90% of the beginner mistakes.

Crypto doesn’t forgive recklessness — but it rewards discipline.
