Why do you lose? The trap of a 100% method that keeps you in the negative.
Inside:
A mental trap leading to losses.
How to choose from running in circles in trading and losses.
5 types of weeks that every trader must know to avoid making foolish mistakes: not entering where you shouldn't, not trading when it's dangerous, not rejoicing when you're lucky.
Algorithm for how to improve the quality of your trading every week.
The path in trading that is not talked about. Away with fantasies and all the nonsense.
Emotions. Why can't you fight them? A way to free yourself from them.
There is soul, experience, and a desire to help you get rid of everything extra that leads to losses and does not help to understand how it should be.
PART 1. WHY DO YOU LOSE?
Just tell me, who is familiar with this — hit like. Some people want to find a trading method that will give a profit with 100-99% probability.
The search for a 100% strategy is a mental trap that keeps you in a zone of meaningless expectations and endless testing. Constant experiments, losses, tests, trials, running in circles. If this sounds familiar, hit like.
If the strategy incurs losses, it is internally perceived negatively. It is considered unreliable. Is that so? Hit like.
As soon as you start to understand and accept the reality — trading is not about precise predictions and not about finding a 100% strategy, — you will start to really achieve the desired result.
The main thing is not the frequency of hitting the target, but the final result.
I remind you: if a winning trade gives 3-5 times more than a losing one, then a 100% hit rate is not needed. Chasing a 100% guarantee instead leads you back into running in circles.
☝️ Beginners believe that success in trading = the ability to accurately predict the market.
❗️ In fact, success = the ability to manage risks, select situations that ultimately yield a profit on average, rather than a 100% result. Do you understand what I mean? Hit like.
❗️❗️❗️ Those who chase 100% end up either losing or simply remaining in 'learning mode' for years, not risking real money or losing money. Do you understand what I mean? Hit like.
If you need a 100% guarantee not to lose money — then you shouldn't trade. This is not just a phrase, it's a fact.
PART 2. LET'S ANALYZE WHAT TO DO.
---
One trader sends me about 40-50 different models: candlestick patterns, figures, patterns with slopes, some complicated figures with breaks. He constantly shares such things with me, and before that, he sent patterns on MACD.
Every day he looks for a new model. Yesterday it was candlestick patterns, today — figures, tomorrow something with MACD. In the work chat, we are up for the week, while he is down for the week. He seems to earn, but then loses everything. And the main thing is — he doesn't understand why.
He constantly trades different things, consistently receives negative results, occasionally encouraging profits, but ultimately incurs losses.
Here's what you need to do:
✔️ Shift focus ON STATISTICS, not on finding a 100% method.
How does the transition look in real life?
1️⃣ You start to ask yourself: ok, this looks tempting 'another method', but what is its statistics for profitable trades?
✔️ Key mindset for trading: Play for the long haul, not just for one trade.

Every day he looks for a new model. Yesterday it was candlestick patterns, today — figures, tomorrow something with MACD. In the work chat, we are up for the week, while he is down for the week. He seems to earn, but then loses everything. And the main thing is — he doesn't understand why.
He constantly trades different things, consistently receives negative results, occasionally encouraging profits, but ultimately incurs losses.
Here's what you need to do:
✔️ Shift focus ON STATISTICS, not on finding a 100% method.
How does the transition look in real life?
1️⃣ You start to ask yourself: ok, this looks tempting 'another method', but what is its statistics for profitable trades?
✔️ Key mindset for trading: Play for the long haul, not just for one trade.
Don't try to win every trade. Aim to make money on a series of trades, not to perfectly guess the market. 10 plus or minus similar trades, is there profit?
2️⃣ You start to think like this: okay, let's assume this works, how will I trade it? Will I be able to remain profitable after a series of trades, even if I get a stop-loss?
Here you start to realize - most methods cannot tolerate this approach, because:
a) profits may be insufficient.
b) stops burn profits.
✔️ Key mindset for trading: Focus on the risk/reward ratio.
Even if 50% of trades are losing, if the other half brings in 3 times or more than the losing trades.
🔥🔥🔥 The market is not about the frequency of victories, but about their quality. The goal is to remain profitable in the long run and maintain risk/reward.
⭐️ Conclusion: 100% strategies do not exist and are not needed. To earn, you don't need a super-duper method, a perfect strategy, or the absence of losses. You need a trading system that provides profit over the long haul. Or over a series of trades.
👍 How would the transformation of our trader from the post happen in 3 steps?
1. He would start a notebook and highlight several types of situations.
2. By trading each situation, he would count how many trades were profitable and how many were losing, and what was the outcome in money?
3. He would stop trading just to trade, and instead plan with what stop to trade and what profit to take in order to remain profitable after a series of trades, including losing ones.
✔️ In short: Situation Selection. Statistical accounting. Trading plan for risk/reward. Calculation of results after a series of trades.
And what does he have instead of all this?.
Just trades randomly, constantly different situations.
Here's what I told him: You can continue to look for the perfect method. But while you chase the myth, you lose money, and no super method will help you get out of this.
To move confidently and composedly, you need to know 5 types of weeks/days/market phases.

PART 3. 5 TYPES OF WEEKS THAT YOU MUST KNOW TO SURVIVE AND NOT BURN OUT IN THE MARKET.
----
There are things that traders do not want to see. Because it is easier to fantasize about how you take deal after deal and get rich. But the market is not a movie.
Here are 5 objective scenarios that happen to me — and will likely happen to you.
🤑1. 'Golden Week' — the market gives everything at once.
Sometimes it happens: trades one after another, all in profit. In 1-2 days you make 15–20% at standard risk. You're already counting yachts in your head. But I don't rejoice. Because I know: this is a one-time event. And the more you rejoice — the more painful it is later.
🤬2. Nothing works — it's a total disaster.
There are weeks when everything goes wrong. Wherever you enter — stop. I had one: minus 9% for the week, not a single profitable trade. A beginner would scream: 'What about strategies without losses?!' But this is reality. Such weeks break those who believed in fairy tales.
🥱3. The market is empty — there’s simply nothing to catch.
One trade a week, a ratio of 1 to 3, and that's it. No movement. Beginners start to fuss, stretch trades, just to 'not sit idle'. They lose money. I just wait. Because I know — this is also the market.
👨💻4. An ordinary gray week.
A couple of pluses, a couple of minuses. No miracle, but no loss either. Just stable, boring work. The kind that produces results in the long run. But it is in such weeks that most give up — because 'it's not interesting'. Or they start looking for a new method, starting new experiments.
😐5. Everything without you — not in your shift.
You're at the computer morning and evening, while the market distributes at night. You step away from the terminal for errands, and everything aligns without you. A week goes by, and all trades miss. You want to catch up with the market — you incur losses. Here you just let go — ok, next time. It's not the last week of your life.
Result?
This can happen not just for a whole week; it can be a day or a series of days. Sometimes even a month. Once, I only traded one deal in a month. There was nothing.
You want to believe that the market will always be generous and predictable. That you just press a button — and off you go.
But the market is different. It did not promise to be convenient.
Want to survive and earn? Accept this. While others continue to fantasize.
If you recognized yourself in this or faced such a week — hit like🔥.
Let's see how many of us have already exited the illusions and trade in reality.$ETH $BNB #TrendingInvestments #Tredingnews
