Entering the world of crypto trading is like jumping into a video game without a tutorial: lights everywhere, invisible enemies, and a false sense of “this is easy.” But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here are classic mistakes and how they look in real life 👇
1. 🤯 Trading without a plan or strategy
Classic mistake: Buying and selling on impulse, without clear objectives or entry/exit rules.
Real example: Carlos, excited about a rise in $XRD, enters the market without any stop loss or profit target. The next day, the price reverses, and instead of closing with a moderate loss, he waits for it to "recover." Spoiler: it didn't recover, and he ended up selling with -35%.
Lesson: Without a strategy, your emotions take control. And in crypto, that’s like driving without brakes.
2. 💸 Underestimating the fees of each trade
Classic mistake: Scalping or making multiple daily trades without understanding how much is lost in fees.
Real example: Valeria makes 20 trades in a day, trying to make quick profits. When she checks her account at the end of the day, she sees that the exchange took more than she earned. Her balance is in the red, despite having succeeded in 60% of the trades.
Lesson: In crypto, fees can eat your profits like Pac-Man. Always check fees before defining your strategy.
3. 🕵️♂️ Blindly following "influencers" and free signals
Classic mistake: Copying trades without understanding the analysis behind them.
Real example: Sebas sees on Twitter that a famous account says: “I’m going full long with 10x leverage on $NEWT 🚀🚀🚀”. Without thinking, he copies the trade. What he doesn’t know is that this influencer has a different entry, more capital, and better risk management. Result: total liquidation and “rekt” memes.
Lesson: Don’t follow blindly. Someone else's strategy doesn’t necessarily work for you.
4. 🤹♂️ Over-diversifying without sense
Classic mistake: Putting money into 15 different cryptocurrencies out of fear of missing “the next one that explodes.”
Real example: Andrea buys small amounts of tokens with exotic names like DogeZilla, BabyMoon, and AstroPepe without understanding their utility or liquidity. When she wants to sell, she realizes there isn’t even enough volume to exit without a loss.
Lesson: Diversifying is fine, but with sense. Less can be more if you know each asset well.
5. 🧠 Ignoring trading psychology
Classic mistake: Trading under emotions like fear, greed, or desperation.
Real example: Luis, after a bad trade, decides to “recover” his losses by betting heavily on a coin without analysis. The famous revenge trade. Result: he loses double.
Lesson: Your mind needs to be as trained as your technical analysis. The one who masters their psychology masters the market.
