🚨 7 Signs You’re Trapped in a Bad Trade 🚨
Not every dip is a disaster.
But some trades scream “get out!” long before the chart confirms it.
Here’s how to spot them 👇🏽
1️⃣ You Entered on Hope, Not a Plan
“I’ll just test it… maybe it pumps.”
That’s not strategy — that’s gambling.
2️⃣ You’re Scared to Place a Stop Loss
“If I set one, it’ll hit then bounce.”
So you skip it. Now you’re exposed in the storm. 🌪️
3️⃣ You Can’t Stop Checking the Chart
Strong trades bring calm.
Weak trades bring panic.
4️⃣ You Keep Adding to a Sinking Position
“I’ll average down and recover.”
That’s not discipline — that’s ego stacking losses.
5️⃣ You Have No Exit Plan
“I’ll close when it turns green.”
That’s emotion talking, not execution.
6️⃣ You Trust the Coin More Than the Chart
“$XYZ is solid, it won’t drop.”
Markets move on momentum, not belief.
7️⃣ You Can’t State Your Risk-to-Reward
If you can’t answer: “What am I risking vs. what am I aiming for?”
You’re gambling in volatility, not trading with intent.
🧠 Bottom Line
When your emotions drown out your system, and noise drowns out your edge — you’re already in trouble.
Markets don’t punish losses.
They punish refusal to learn.
