Why Most New Traders Blow Their Accounts — and How to Avoid It 💣📉
Thousands of new traders enter crypto every day.
Most of them lose everything in their first few trades.
Here’s why that happens, and how you can be the 1% who survives and grows:
⚠️ 1. Using High Leverage With No Stop Loss
• Many jump into 20x–50x trades chasing pumps.
• One small wick = liquidation 💀
• 📌 Fix: Use 3x–5x max with tight stop-loss and Isolated Margin.
💰 2. Risking Too Much on One Trade
• Going all-in on one signal = gambling.
• Smart traders risk only 1–2% per trade.
• 📌 Fix: Treat capital like fuel. Burn it slowly, not in one shot.
🧠 3. Following Hype Instead of Strategy
• FOMO entries after a 30% green candle = bad entry.
• Pro traders enter early or wait for retests.
• 📌 Fix: Use simple TA (like EMA20, support/resistance) and plan your trade.
🧮 4. No Journal, No Discipline
• If you’re not tracking what works, you’re not learning.
• 📌 Fix: Start journaling trades. Include entry, exit, reason, outcome, emotion.
💬 Final Truth:
Trading is not about catching every move.
It’s about protecting your capital long enough to catch the right one.
