$BNB **Five Major Fatal Mistakes in Trading Strategies:**

1. **Over-Leverage**: High leverage (such as 50x) amplifies volatility; 85% of accounts that were liquidated in 2023 had leverage > 20x;

2. **Ignoring Slippage**: Market orders for small cryptocurrencies can incur impact costs of up to 3%, eroding profits;

3. **Backtesting Trap**: Optimizing strategies using bull market data fails in bear markets (e.g., a strategy from 2021 had a drawdown of over 60% in 2022);

4. **Obsessive Averaging Down**: Adding to losing positions against the trend leads to liquidation (e.g., accounts went to zero during the LUNA incident);

5. **Mixed Strategies**: Mixing trend and range strategies leads to conflicting signals and repeated stop losses.

> 💡 **Solution:**

> - Validate strategy resilience using a demo account (must span both bull and bear cycles);

> - A single strategy should have more than 100 trades per year to be statistically significant;

> - If maximum drawdown exceeds 15%, immediately halt trading and review.
