⚠️💸 Trading with Small Capital? These 7 Rookie Mistakes Will Drain Your Account FAST
You started with $200–$1,000, full of hope… then watched it vanish in days. Sound familiar? Here’s what 99% of new traders do wrong (and how to fix it before you’re broke):
1. No stop-loss = gambling, not trading. One bad move and your entire account is gone.
2. Risking 20–50% on a single trade. Pros risk 1–2% max. Protect your capital like it’s your last dollar (because it might be).
3. Revenge trading after a loss. Emotions + leverage = account suicide.
4. FOMO into pumps at the top. You’re the exit liquidity for whales.
5. Trading 47 pairs at once. Pick 1–3 setups you actually understand.
6. Zero journaling. If you don’t track your trades, you’ll repeat every mistake forever.
7. Expecting to get rich in a month. 95% blow up because they treat trading like a lottery ticket.
Small account? Trade like a sniper, not a machine gun. Lower position size, master one strategy, survive long enough to compound. The market isn’t going anywhere—but your capital will if you keep doing this.
Save this post. Fix these mistakes. Or keep wondering where your money went next month.
