The Ultimate "Deposit Killer": Why 90% of Traders Lose Money? 📉
Many beginners blame their failures on "market maker manipulations," bad signals, or a "rigged" market. But the truth is much more mundane. If we strip away technical errors, one fundamental reason for blown accounts remains.
It is the lack of risk management and uncontrolled gambling.
Let’s break down exactly why this is fatal:
1️⃣ Excessive Leverage.
Futures are tempting because of the chance to "moon" quickly. But 20x, 50x, or 100x leverage isn't a tool for beginners—it’s a one-way ticket to liquidation. With 50x leverage, a mere 2% price move against you wipes out your position. In a volatile market, these "price sweeps" happen constantly.
2️⃣ No Stop-Loss.
"The price will surely bounce back" or "I'll just wait it out" are thoughts that have destroyed more capital than any scam project. Without a stop-loss, your potential loss is infinite, while your profit is always limited by your fear.
3️⃣ FOMO & Emotional Trading.
See a massive green candle? Jumping in because you're afraid to miss out? That’s a classic trap. Buying at the local top and panic selling at the bottom (FUD) is the fastest way to zero.
4️⃣ Averaging Down Losing Positions.
Trying to "save" a failing trade by throwing more money at it when the trend is clearly against you is a lottery. In 9 out of 10 cases, this only increases the size of the eventual disaster.
How to stop the bleeding?
Risk per trade: Never more than 1-2% of your total balance. Even a 10-trade losing streak won’t kill your account.Have a Trading Plan: Only enter a trade if you know exactly where you will exit (both in profit and in loss).Discipline > Forecasts: It’s better to hit a stop-loss and keep 98% of your capital than to pray for a miracle and lose it all.
Remember: The market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. Don't become "liquidity" for someone else.
