💥 DEADLY STRATEGIC ERRORS

The 5 capital killers:

1️⃣ Negligent risk management

→ Absent stops or >3% per trade

→ Disproportionate risk (e.g. 50% of capital in 1 trade)

2️⃣ Emotional bias

→ Averaging down losses ("hope trading")

→ FOMO in pumps & dumps

3️⃣ Overcomplication

→ 10+ indicators on the chart

→ Contradictory strategies (e.g. scalping + position trading)

4️⃣ Flawed backtesting

→ Tests only in bull markets

→ Ignoring fees and slippage

5️⃣ Ignoring macro context

→ Trading against Fed trends

→ Neglecting events (CPI, FOMC, halving)

⚠️ COST OF ERRORS (REAL DATA)

→ 41% uncontrolled psychology

✅ CHECKLIST BEFORE TRADING

▢ Stop defined and calculated (1-2% of capital)?

▢ Strategy aligned with the timeframe (not mixing day trading and swing)?

▢ Impactful macro events checked?

▢ Valid backtest (including bear markets)?

> The market doesn't destroy traders - they self-destruct with greed, fear, and strategic laziness.
