#TradingMistakes101 🚫 Top 7 Crypto Trading Mistakes (I’ve Made Most of These)

Whether you're new or experienced, crypto trading will test your discipline. Here are the most common mistakes that wipe out accounts—or sanity.👇

🔻 1. FOMO Buying

> You see a green candle, and you chase it.

Result? You’re someone else’s exit liquidity. Always wait for confirmation or a retest.

🔻 2. No Risk Management

> "I'll just go 100% in, it looks good."

Without a stop-loss or position sizing, you're gambling—not trading.

🔻 3. Overtrading

> More trades ≠ more profit.

Every trade costs mental capital, not just fees. Quality > quantity.

🔻 4. Ignoring the Trend

> Fighting the trend is like swimming upstream.

You might win occasionally, but odds are stacked against you.

🔻 5. Blindly Following Influencers

> “This coin is the next 100x!”

If someone’s shouting targets without a clear plan or invalidation level—they’re probably selling into your buy.

🔻 6. Emotional Decisions

> Fear, greed, revenge trades…

Reacting instead of executing a plan? That’s how accounts bleed.

🔻 7. Not Taking Profit

> “It’s going to the moon, right?”

No exit strategy = missed gains. Paper profits aren’t real.

✅ Bonus Advice:

Have a plan for entry, exit, and invalidation before you click buy. If you’re guessing—stop and reassess.

📊 Crypto trading is a skill. Mistakes are part of the process—but only if you learn from them.
