💀 The Death Triangle in Trading — My Lesson as a Beginner
In trading, I learned something important: *the biggest enemy is not the market, but our own decisions*. There is a dangerous concept called the "Death Triangle," which can destroy your account if you ignore it. It consists of:
* 🧠 **Emotions and lack of discipline**
* ❌ **Trades without Stop Loss (SL)**
* ⚡ **Haste, FOMO, and trading when you are tired**
💡 What I learned yesterday: the SL really saved my account
As a beginner, I still learn daily. Yesterday, I had a moment when the market moved suddenly against my position. Although my analysis was good in the long term, the correction caught me off guard.
*The difference?*
I had the Stop Loss set in advance.
The result: a small, controlled loss — exactly as it should be.
After that, I calmly waited for a new signal, went short on the pullback, and closed with a profit. This time, also with a well-placed SL.
✍️ My conclusions (Rules for Beginners)
1. Be disciplined, calm
If you feel that you are getting angry or rushing, it's better to stop the platform. Emotions are not a good advisor in trading.
2. You don't have to be in the market non-stop
Trade only when you are rested and attentive. I made a rule for myself: *I no longer place orders at night*.
3. Stop Loss = best friend
Accept when you are wrong and let the SL protect you. A small value lost preventively can save you from a much bigger disaster.
