🚨 Why 90% of Traders Lose Money (And How to Be in the 10%)

Let’s cut through the nonsense. Trading isn’t hard because of charts—it’s hard because of YOU. Here’s the brutal truth, straight from the trenches:

1. Your Brain is Your Worst Enemy

❌ FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) → Buying pumps after they’re done
❌ Panic Selling → Dumping at the lows "just in case"
❌ Overconfidence → "I’m a genius!" → Proceeds to blow account

✅ Fix:

Write your entry/exit rules BEFORE trading

Use stop-losses (no exceptions)

Wait 10 minutes before emotional trades

2. You’re Gambling, Not Trading

❌ No stop-loss → "It’ll come back" (Spoiler: It won’t)
❌ 50x leverage → One trade wipes you out
❌ All-in on one coin → Hope isn’t a strategy

✅ Fix:

Risk 1-2% per trade (Even $100 accounts)

Max 5x leverage (Unless you’re a pro)

Diversify (BTC/ETH + few alts)

3. You Believe in "Easy Money"

❌ "100x gem" calls → 99% are exit liquidity plays
❌ Influencer pumps → They profit, you bag-hold
❌ No patience → Real wealth = years, not days

✅ Fix:

Ignore shitcoins (unless you’re early)

Focus on BTC/ETH + top 50 alts

Take profits (No one went broke booking gains)

4. You Fight Market Cycles

❌ Buying euphoria (Top)
❌ Selling despair (Bottom)
❌ Holding bags for years → "It’ll recover"

✅ Fix:

Bull markets? Take profits gradually

Bear markets? Accumulate slowly

Sideways? Trade less, watch more

5. You Trade Too Damn Much

❌ Overtrading → Fees + stress + mistakes
❌ Forcing setups → "Maybe this one works?"
❌ No patience → Markets reward waiting

✅ Fix:

1-3 high-quality trades/day MAX

No setup? Step away

Track your trades (Journal = your best teacher)
