🚨Why Most New Traders Lose Money
— And 5 Rules That Could Save You 🚨
📍If you're new to crypto, here’s a harsh truth:
Most beginners lose their first account.
But they don't lose because they're stupid.
They lose because no one teaches them the rules that really matter.
Here are the 5 rules I wish I had from day one:📌
⸻
⚠️ Rule 1: Cut Losses Early
What's the quickest way to go broke? Holding onto losers, hoping they'll "bounce back."
Set stop-losses. Stick to them. Hope is not a strategy.
⸻
📊 Rule 2: Trade Small Until You Are Consistent
Don’t dive headfirst into your “high conviction” trade.
Start small. Build confidence. Prove your edge. Increase size after consistency, not before.
⸻
🧠 Rule 3: Record Every Trade
Most traders don’t log trades — so they never learn.
Write down your entries, exits, mindset, and mistakes.
Your journal is your mirror and your map.
⸻
💸 Rule 4: Focus on Risk, Not Rewards
Chasing big gains is why most traders lose.
Shift the focus: What’s the maximum I’m willing to lose on this trade?
Let that guide you — not the potential profit.
⸻
⏳ Rule 5: Don’t Trade Every Day
Some days, the best trade is no trade.
Avoid forcing setups. Boredom is not a signal.
⸻
Follow these 5 rules and you'll avoid 90% of beginner pain.
Crypto does not forgive recklessness — but rewards discipline.
