🧠 Why do most beginners lose in the market? 5 psychological traps of a trader

Have you ever opened a trade "by intuition"? Or sold an asset immediately after a drop to "not lose even more"? If so — this article is for you.

Most traders lose money not because of technical analysis or fundamentals, but because of emotions and psychology. Here are the 5 main mistakes made by 90% of beginners:

1. FOMO (fear of missing out)

📈 You see a coin growing by 300% — and buy at the peak. A classic.

Solution: never enter the market without a plan. If you're already late — wait for the next setup.

2. FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt)

💥 News about an exchange hack or "Bitcoin crash" causes panic.

Solution: trust the facts, not the headlines. Most "sensations" are just noise.

3. Overtrading

🎯 You constantly open trades because "it's boring", "something has to happen".

Solution: discipline is more important than frequency. One strong trade is better than 10 random ones.

4. Unable to accept losses

🧨 Holding losing trades "until a bounce" is a path to a blow-up.

Solution: Stop Loss is your friend, not your enemy.

5. Overconfidence after profit

🚀 You made money on one coin — and think you are a trading genius.
