🚨 Why 90% of New Traders Lose Money (And How to Avoid It)
If you’re new to crypto, here’s the hard truth no one tells you:
Most beginners blow their first account—not because they’re dumb, but because no one taught them the REAL rules.
After years of trading (and losing), here are the 5 survival rules I wish I knew on Day 1:
🔥 Rule #1: Cut Losses FAST
❌ "It’ll come back" is how accounts get wiped.
✅ Set stop-losses and stick to them. Hope is not a strategy.
💰 Rule #2: Trade SMALL Until You’re Consistent
❌ "This is the one!" → Famous last words.
✅ Start tiny. Prove your edge first. Size up later.
📓 Rule #3: Track EVERY Trade
❌ Most traders don’t journal → They repeat mistakes.
✅ Write down:
Entry/exit
Why you took it
What went wrong/right
Your journal is your cheat code.
⚖️ Rule #4: Focus on RISK, Not Rewards
❌ "100x or bust!" → Bust is more likely.
✅ Ask: "What’s the max I can lose?" Let that decide your trade size.
🧘 Rule #5: Some Days, DON’T Trade
❌ "I’m bored, let’s YOLO" → Fastest way to lose.
✅ No good setups? Walk away. Patience > Recklessness.
📌 Bottom Line:
Crypto doesn’t reward genius—it rewards discipline. Stick to these 5 rules, and you’ll outlast 90% of traders.
