🔸 What is paper trading? And why do many new traders fall into it?
In the beginning of entering the world of crypto, it may seem simple: you open a demo account, make "virtual" profits, and think you are ready to challenge the real market!
But here lies the trick... what you are doing is not real trading, but paper trading!
🎯 Paper trading is a simulation of the trading experience without using real money. And while it is beneficial for learning, it carries some psychological risks:
1. False confidence: Making easy profits without psychological pressure makes you think the market is simple.
2. Neglecting risk management: Because you are not losing real money, you ignore the importance of stop-loss and position sizing.
3. Shock when transitioning to real trading: Suddenly, you start losing real money because you haven't trained your mind for the psychological aspect of trading.
💡 The solution?
Use paper trading only to learn the platform and the strategies, not to measure your psychological ability to withstand market fluctuations. After that, try trading with very small amounts of real money... and gradually increase.
🚨 The market is unforgiving, and emotions are costly!
Train your mind just like you learn analysis.
