đ¨ Why 90% of Traders Lose Money (And How to Be in the 10%)
Letâs cut through the nonsense. Trading isnât hard because of chartsâitâs hard because of YOU. Hereâs the brutal truth, straight from the trenches:
1. Your Brain is Your Worst Enemy
â FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) â Buying pumps after theyâre done
â Panic Selling â Dumping at the lows "just in case"
â Overconfidence â "Iâm a genius!" â Proceeds to blow account
â
 Fix:
Write your entry/exit rules BEFORE trading
Use stop-losses (no exceptions)
Wait 10 minutes before emotional trades
2. Youâre Gambling, Not Trading
â No stop-loss â "Itâll come back" (Spoiler: It wonât)
â 50x leverage â One trade wipes you out
â All-in on one coin â Hope isnât a strategy
â
 Fix:
Risk 1-2% per trade (Even $100 accounts)
Max 5x leverage (Unless youâre a pro)
Diversify (BTC/ETH + few alts)
3. You Believe in "Easy Money"
â "100x gem" calls â 99% are exit liquidity plays
â Influencer pumps â They profit, you bag-hold
â No patience â Real wealth = years, not days
â
 Fix:
Ignore shitcoins (unless youâre early)
Focus on BTC/ETH + top 50 alts
Take profits (No one went broke booking gains)
4. You Fight Market Cycles
â Buying euphoria (Top)
â Selling despair (Bottom)
â Holding bags for years â "Itâll recover"
â
 Fix:
Bull markets? Take profits gradually
Bear markets? Accumulate slowly
Sideways? Trade less, watch more
5. You Trade Too Damn Much
â Overtrading â Fees + stress + mistakes
â Forcing setups â "Maybe this one works?"
â No patience â Markets reward waiting
â
 Fix:
1-3 high-quality trades/day MAX
No setup? Step away
Track your trades (Journal = your best teacher)
