Losing trades. Blown accounts. Emotional burnout.
Yeah… I’ve been there.
But here’s what I wish someone told me before I wrecked my early portfolio.
If you’re losing money in crypto, don’t just keep trading. Read this first:
⸻
❌ Problem 1: You’re Overtrading
More trades ≠ more profits.
I used to place 10–15 trades a day — and most were trash.
Now? I only take 1–3 high-conviction setups per week.
Quality over quantity changed the game for me.
⸻
❌ Problem 2: You Don’t Have a System
If you’re buying random tokens off TikTok or hype tweets, it’s gambling — not trading.
Build a system. Even a basic one:
• Entry trigger
• Risk/reward ratio
• Take profit & stop loss
• Timeframe
⸻
❌ Problem 3: You’re Risking Too Much
You don’t need to go all-in every time.
Once I switched to risking 2% of my portfolio per trade, I stopped making emotional decisions. And I started thinking long-term.
⸻
❌ Problem 4: You Ignore Market Conditions
Trading against the trend is a losing battle.
I started checking simple things daily:
• Is BTC trending up or down?
• Are altcoins following BTC or breaking down?
I only trade when the overall market supports the setup.
⸻
❌ Problem 5: You’re Learning the Hard Way
Copying influencers won’t make you profitable.
Learning to build your own thesis — even if you’re wrong — teaches you 10x faster.
⸻
Quick fix:
Stop trading for one week.
Analyze your losses. Journal everything. Then come back with a clear plan.
Don’t just survive crypto. Learn how to win in it.
