“You’ve got to figure out a way to cut your losses really quick. You can’t take big losses. Big losses will kill you.” – Peter Brandt
Lesson: Surviving in trading starts with disciplined risk control. No matter how good a trade looks, if it goes against you, the priority is protecting capital.
Key Takeaway: Capital survives when traders act fast. Limit your downside, honor your stops, and never hesitate to protect your account.
Today’s Market Reflection: "Learn first then remove L and Earn consistently" In crypto, volatility is extreme — coins can drop 20–30% in hours.
