15 Crypto Trading Mistakes That Kill Your Profits (And How to Avoid Them)

Tired of losing money in crypto? Many traders blow up their accounts not because of bad luck—but because of common, avoidable mistakes. Here's how to steer clear of the traps that quietly destroy your gains:

1. Using Too Much Leverage

Thinking 20x–50x leverage is a fast track to riches? One small move against you, and your account vanishes.

Fix: Keep leverage between 2x–5x, and always protect yourself with a stop-loss.

2. Trading on Emotions

FOMO into the top, panic-sell the bottom—sound familiar? Emotional trades are losing trades.
