Not all red candles are a mistake.
But some trades? They scream "Run!" before the chart even confirms it!
Here are the 7 clear signs that you are stuck in a trade that is draining your mind, not just your money 👇🏽
1️⃣ You entered with hope, not with a plan
"I will try... maybe it will pump."
That is not a strategy, it is a coin toss.
2️⃣ You are afraid to set a stop loss
"If I set a SL, it will hit and reverse."
So you take it off. Now you are in the storm 🌪️.
3️⃣ You check the chart every 2 minutes
A good trade brings peace.
A bad trade produces anxiety.
4️⃣ You add more to a losing position
"I will add little by little to recover quickly."
That is not scaling, it is pride that deepens.
5️⃣ You don't know where you'll exit
"I will close when I recover a bit."
That is emotion, not execution.
6️⃣ You believe too much in the coin
"$XRP is solid: it cannot fall."
Charts do not follow conviction. They follow momentum.
7️⃣ You don’t even know your risk-reward ratio
If you can't answer: "How much am I risking to gain how much?"
You are floating in volatility, not trading with intention.
🧠 Final truth
"If your trade is louder than your system and your emotions are louder than your edge, you are already in danger."
Cryptocurrencies do not punish you for losing.
It punishes you for refusing to learn.
