Stop Trading Blindly — Protect Your Capital Before It's Gone
Too many traders are facing huge losses due to basic mistakes. Attached is just one real example — and sadly, this is happening every day.
These are not bad luck trades. These are avoidable failures.
Common Mistakes That Lead to Big Losses: - No stop-loss placed - Using 50x–100x leverage blindly - Emotional entries, panic exits - Hoping the market will reverse - Taking revenge trades with the same coin
Here’s the Truth: - The market doesn’t care about your position or prediction - Without a stop-loss, one candle can destroy your capital - Unrealized profit is not real profit - High leverage increases both risk and pressure - One mistake without a plan can erase months of hard work
Rules Every Trader Should Follow: - Always set a stop-loss before entering any trade - Never risk more than 5–10% of your capital per position - Do not use leverage above 10x–20x unless you fully understand the risk - Never revenge trade — especially not with the same coin - Stick to your strategy. No emotions, no shortcuts
Final Words: Your goal is not to win every trade — your goal is to last long enough to grow. Respect your capital. Respect the market. Respect your mind.

Pair: ZORA/USDT (Perpetual) Direction: Short Current Price Zone: Around 0.085 Reason: Overextended move after a sharp pump from 0.038 to 0.098
Strategy:
1. Initial Entry – Low Margin (1x–3x): Start with a very small short position using low leverage. This is to get exposure without high risk. Do not try to catch the exact top.
2. Wait for Confirmation: Look for signs like a lower high, bearish candlestick patterns, or price rejection from key levels. Only if signs are confirmed, proceed to next step.
3. Scaling the Position: After confirmation, gradually increase margin (up to 20x–25x), scaling into the short. Always maintain stop-loss and strict risk control.
Reason for Signal: - Sharp pump without base formation. - Volume surge showing possible exhaustion. - RSI and price behavior indicate likely short-term correction.
Note: Use isolated margin. Protect capital. This is a structured and low-risk approach, not a blind short entry.
#MarketRebound After several red days, the market is showing signs of a rebound. Altcoins like ETH, SOL, and AVAX are up 5–10% in the last 24 hours. BTC has crossed a key resistance level, sparking positive sentiment. I used this opportunity to close some short positions and flip to long on selected tokens. It’s important to monitor trading volume during rebounds as low-volume pumps often fail. Also, I avoid chasing green candles and wait for retracements to enter safely. This rebound feels healthier compared to recent ones due to broad participation across sectors. #MarketRebound
