⚠️ You're Not Losing Money Because of Your Chart Skills. It's This One Thing.
Let's be honest. We've all seen the perfect chart setup, hit "buy," and watched the trade go sideways. We blame the market, the indicators, or bad luck. But what if the real problem isn't the chart?
After years of watching my PnL fluctuate wildly, I realized my biggest enemy wasn't the market—it was my own mind. The cycle of fear and greed is a trader's worst nightmare.
Here’s the cold hard truth: You lose money because you lack a trading plan.
A plan isn't just about entry and exit points. It's a mental fortress that protects you from your own emotions.
My Simple 3-Step "Psychology-First" Plan:
* Define Your Risk (BEFORE You Trade): Before you even think about entering a position, decide exactly how much you are willing to lose. For me, it's 1-2% of my total portfolio per trade. If the trade hits that stop loss, I walk away. No "just one more candle" or "it's bound to bounce."
* Use Alarms, Not Alerts: I don't sit and stare at charts all day. I set price alarms on Binance. When the price hits my entry or exit point, I get a notification. This prevents me from making impulsive decisions out of boredom or FOMO.
* Journal Everything: I write down not just the trade details, but my emotions before, during, and after the trade. This helps me identify my personal triggers (e.g., getting too greedy after a winning streak, or trading out of anger after a loss).
This isn't about being a perfect trader. It's about being a disciplined one. And discipline is the only thing that separates long-term success from short-term gambling.
