A post that could save a lot of nerves and hundreds of deposits 🥲
When I first started — it seemed simple:
Bought cheap — sold high. That's it, I'm a trader.
⠀
And then the market showed me the facts.
⠀
And if I had understood this right away, maybe I wouldn't be living on instant noodles 👇
🔥 1. Trading without a plan
"Oh, it seems like it's going to go up now!" — and I jump in.
And where's the entry? Where's the stop? Where's the take profit? Who am I anyway?
⠀
👉 Without a strategy, you're not a trader.
You're a gambler. With a roulette wheel instead of a brain.
💀 2. Without a stop-loss
At first, you think: well, I'll wait, the market will come back...
⠀
He won't come back. He will leave, taking your money, honor, and self-respect.
⠀
And yes, I did that too. Once. I don't recommend it to anyone.
🤯 3. Emotional trading
One loss — and you're already getting revenge on the market.
One profit — and you're already a 'trading guru'.
⠀
Emotions = bad decisions. Always.
⠀
The market is not about feelings. It's not Tinder.
😬 4. FOMO
"Bitcoin is rising! Everyone's jumping in! I want to too!"
⠀
You enter at the highs — and catch a loss like a champion.
⠀
Remember: the best entries are boring. Clear. Without adrenaline.
🐭 5. Overtrading
10 trades a day. Without analysis.
You catch yourself clicking the mouse just to click.
⠀
And then you wonder why your balance is melting like ice cream in the sun.
⠀
Trading is not a game. It's chess. With money.
💡 The moral of this crypto tale:
🎯 It's not the smartest that survives. It's the most disciplined.
⠀
Learn. Analyze. Plan.
⠀
And when emotions are running high — just close the chart and take your mind for a walk.
💬 From myself:
I was selling off. I was freaking out. I wanted to quit everything.
⠀
But you know what? Every fail made me stronger.
⠀
And if you're going through this right now — know:
You're not alone. And you're not weak. You're just learning.
👊 Don't give up. This is just the beginning.
⠀
❤️ Like if you recognized yourself.
🤡 Repost — if you want to save a friend from these pitfalls.
⠀
And if I didn't like it — well, I've already gotten used to it 😌
