š”"I Lose Money Every Time I Tradeā¦ First I Won, Then I Just Kept Losing!" Here's How to Fix It! šÆ
Sound familiar? You took your first trade, made a quick profit, and felt like you cracked the code. But then reality hitāone loss after another, until it felt like the market was against you. Welcome to trading.
This is called Beginnerās Luckāyou win early, not because of skill, but because the market happened to favor your trade. But luck doesnāt last. Skill does.
The Shift from Losing to Winning
āļø Stop Gambling, Start Learning ā Instead of chasing trades, study market structure, risk management, and confirmation signals.
āļø Patience Over Impulse ā Great setups donāt come every minute. Wait for high-probability trades.
āļø Stick to a Plan ā Emotional trading leads to losses. Have a strategy and follow it.
āļø Track Your Mistakes ā Every loss is a lesson. Review your trades and improve.
Take for Example This Candlestick : The Bull Trap
A Bull Trap happens when price breaks above resistance, making traders believe a rally is comingāonly to reverse sharply, trapping buyers in losses. This happens often to beginners chasing breakouts without confirmation.
Lesson? Donāt assume every breakout is real. Wait for confirmation, check volume, and avoid trading purely on emotions.
Winning in trading isnāt about luckāitās about developing the skills to win consistently. Master the game, and the profits will follow.
If you're still in early learning phase then avoid risking more than 1-2% of your capital or even better paper trade, because tolerating loss and to come out stronger than before, is a learned behavior which develops over time and with experience.
Are you willing to be patient with the art of trading and handle it with care? If yes, then this bull may just let you ride it.
