### **Typical Trader Mistakes: How Not to Lose Your Deposit**

The crypto market is ruthless to those who act thoughtlessly. Here are the main mistakes to avoid.

---

#### **1. Trading Without a Strategy**

❌ **Problem:** Buying/selling on emotions, entering the market "randomly".

✅ **Solution:** A clear plan with entry and exit points and risk management.

#### **2. Ignoring Stop-Losses**

❌ **Problem:** The hope that it will "recover" leads to catastrophic losses.

✅ **Solution:** Strict loss limits (1-3% of the deposit per trade).

#### **3. Overtrading**

❌ **Problem:** Too frequent trades due to FOMO or greed.

✅ **Solution:** Quality is more important than quantity — better fewer, but more accurate.

#### **4. Trading with Borrowed Funds**

❌ **Problem:** Margin trading increases both profits and risks.

✅ **Solution:** Use leverage only with experience and small amounts.

#### **5. Believing in "Guaranteed Profits"**

❌ **Problem:** Following "gurus", signals from chats, scam projects.

✅ **Solution:** Only independent analysis and skepticism.
