15 CRYPTO TRADING MISTAKES THAT DESTROY YOUR PROFITS

Stop bleeding money by avoiding these common traps:

1. Over-Leveraging

Using 20x–50x leverage? One small move can wipe your account.

Tip: Stick to 2x–5x leverage and always use a stop-loss.

2. Emotional Trading

Buying at the top during FOMO, selling at the bottom during fear?

Tip: Trade with a plan, not emotions. Use alerts, not adrenaline.

3. Ignoring Security

One wrong click can drain your funds.

Tip: Use hardware wallets, enable 2FA, and avoid unknown links.

4. Skipping Research

Copying influencers blindly? That leads to bad bags.

Tip: Study tokenomics, roadmap, team, and real-world utility.

5. Chasing Losses

Doubling down after losses rarely ends well.

Tip: Pause, reflect, and return with a clear mind.

6. No Strategy

Random trades are just gambling.

Tip: Stick to a proven approach—like breakout, trend, or range trading.

7. FOMO

If everyone is talking about it, you're probably late.

Tip: Great entries come to those who wait.

8. Overtrading

More trades don't mean more profits.

Tip: Take fewer, higher-quality trades based on conviction.

9. Ignoring Risk-to-Reward

Risking too much to make very little? Poor math.

Tip: Target at least a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-to-reward ratio.

10. Revenge Trading

Trying to recover losses quickly usually backfires.

Tip: Step away. Emotional trades lead to more losses.

11. No Trading Journal

You can’t improve what you don’t track.

Tip: Record your trades, reasons, emotions, and outcomes regularly.

12. Ignoring Market Conditions

Using the same tactics in all market phases? Costly mistake.

Tip: Adapt strategies to bull, bear, or sideways markets.

13. Watching Too Many Coins

Too many charts can distract you from the best ones.

Tip: Focus on a handful of coins you understand well.

14. Skipping Technical Basics

Trading without chart knowledge is flying blind.

Tip: Learn support, resistance, candlesticks, and indicators.

15. No Exit Plan

You know when to enter, but not when to get out?

Tip: Define your targets and stop-loss levels before every trade.
