3 MISTAKES THAT WILL COST YOU DEARLY đ¸
In 10 years of trading, Iâve seen it all the highs, the lows, and complete loss of control.
Today I want to share three key mistakes that once cost me money and nerves.
If youâre not a beginner, you might recognize yourself.
If youâre just starting out take note. Itâll protect your capital.
1. CHASING THE MARKET đŤ
Once, I entered a trade right after a pump the token had grown by 40% in a few hours. I thought: âJust a bit more and weâll fly!â
Nope. It already flew. Without me. And then it suddenly started to crash.
Why does this happen?
Because the big players the âwhalesâ exit when the crowd starts entering.
You become their exit liquidity. They sell to you while youâre still dreaming of rockets.
Lesson:
If the asset has already pumped stay away.
FOMO â signal.
Cold logic beats hot emotion.
2. LACK OF CONTEXT đ
I used to look only at charts candles, levels, volumes I thought that was enough.
Then I started losing money, not understanding why the market was acting âweird.â
Turns out the issue wasnât in my technical analysis.
It was that I ignored the bigger picture:
⢠Geopolitics
⢠Inflation reports
⢠FOMC meetings
⢠News cycles
⢠Regulatory changes
Lesson:
If youâre trading without global awareness youâre blind.
The market is a reflection of the world. Donât close your eyes to that.
3. OVERTRADING đ˛
The most painful mistake.
There were times I opened trades daily just because I had to do something.
Sometimes out of greed. Sometimes out of boredom. Sometimes out of fear of missing out.
I wasnât trading setups I was trading emotions.
Thatâs the road from trader to gambler.
Lesson:
You donât have to trade every day.
The market isnât going anywhere.
A clear mind and patience thatâs your true position.
Final note:
Thanks for reading.
If even one of these lessons resonates then it was worth sharing.
Learn from someone elseâs pain. Itâs cheaper than learning from your own.
