💸Human nature makes us lose money, 🔻How Not to Be One of Them
👋✅️Trading, on paper, seems simple: buy low and sell high. But in practice, it’s a constant battle against your own emotions. It’s not the market that makes you lose… it’s you.
1. The Trap of Emotions (Fear, Greed, and Ego)
Fear of missing out: You rush to buy when everyone is talking about it… just before the drop.
Panic selling: You see red numbers and let fear take over.
Overconfidence: You win a few times, think you’ve got it mastered, and end up risking more than you should… until you get liquidated.
✅ Solution: Design a clear trading plan. Define your entries, exits, stop-loss, and take-profit.
2. Poor Risk Management: The Sure Path to Disaster
No stop-loss: Thinking “this will recover” has destroyed entire accounts.
Extreme leverage: Using 20x or 50x may seem profitable… until a bad move wipes everything out.
Betting everything on a single trade: The “all or nothing” strategy always ends badly.
✅ Solution: Don’t risk more than 10% of your capital per trade. Use leverage with great caution.
3. Overtrading: The Silent Killer
Trading every day out of anxiety or boredom leads to mistakes, fees, and unnecessary losses.
Not every opportunity is a good opportunity.
✅ Solution: Patience. Wait for high-probability setups. Sometimes, the best trade is to do nothing.
4. Ignoring Market Cycles
You buy when everything is expensive (euphoria of the bull market).
You sell when everything is in red (desperation of the bear market).
You don’t take profits when the market is in your favor.
✅ Solution: Learn to read the cycles. Sell in phases when there are gains and accumulate when everyone is selling.
