Today, a fellow trader walked away from the markets after losing nearly ₹1 lakh on Binance. His words were raw and real:
“It will never end until I become a beggar… My greediness brought me here.”
This hits hard. But it’s also a powerful lesson.
Let’s break down where things went wrong — and how you can avoid the same fate:
⚠️ 1. Trading Without a Game Plan
He relied on emotion, not strategy. That’s not trading — that’s gambling.
✅ Always know your entry, exit, stop-loss, and risk before clicking buy.
⚠️ 2. No Risk Management
A 6.59% win rate and a ₹1 lakh loss? That screams poor position sizing and no risk control.
✅ Only risk 1–2% per trade. Protect your capital at all costs.
⚠️ 3. Revenge Trading
Trying to "get it all back" fast leads to deeper losses.
✅ Step away. Clear your head. Come back with logic, not emotion.
⚠️ 4. Overtrading
85 trades. 24 wins. He was likely forcing setups.
✅ Be patient. Trade less, but smarter. Quality always beats quantity.
⚠️ 5. Trading with Emotions
His final message said it all: “I’m just tired… greed led me here.”
✅ Master your emotions. Trading psychology > any indicator.
Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint. This journey takes time, discipline, and humility.
To that trader: Your honesty may save others.
To every other trader: Learn from this — protect your capital like your future depends on it. Because it does.
Save this if you're serious about becoming a better trader.
