Why do so many traders always lose money? — Today, let's talk about the ins and outs of this issue and how to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Trading seems simple at first glance... But when you actually get into it, losses can spiral out of control. Below are the key reasons why most people stumble — and ways to preserve capital:
🔻 1. Not taking risks seriously
Issue: Never setting stop-loss orders, going all-in from the start.
Consequence: One wrong judgment can wipe out several weeks or even months of profits.
Countermeasure: Stop-loss must be strictly set, and position size should be based on the money in your account, not just a guess.
🔻 2. Trading too impulsively
Issue: Wanting to get involved in any market condition, chasing highs and lows without a plan.
Consequence: Making decisions in a rush can lead to high transaction fees, and in the end, the money is gone.
Countermeasure: Only act when your trading strategy gives clear signals; don’t fumble around.
🔻 3. Believing everything others say
Issue: Placing orders based on signals from a random “expert” (many so-called “experts” aren’t making money themselves), risking falling into traps set by others.
Consequence: Becoming a scapegoat for others' selling, losing money inexplicably.
Countermeasure: Do more research yourself! Understand the logic of trading before considering whether to follow others.
🔻 4. No plan, no strategy
Issue: Placing orders based on feelings, relying on guesses, with no system in place.
Consequence: Getting flustered at the slightest market movement, leading to chaotic decisions.
Countermeasure: There must be clear rules for entry points, exit points, and setting profit/loss limits.
🔻 5. Being led by emotions
Issue: Always fearing missed opportunities (FOMO), being greedy, panicking at declines, making decisions solely based on these emotions.
Consequence: These negative emotions can be more intense than market fluctuations, leading to quick losses.
Countermeasure: Stick to a predefined trading plan and cultivate discipline.
📚 To win, you have to do this: first learn well, then start trading; develop your own system and strictly adhere to discipline. #币圈投资策略 #加密市场回调
