Hey guys, I recently started trading on Binance and I read books, watched videos on fundamental analysis, support and resistance. I try to improve myself on crypto trading and also on psychology aspect of trading. The path of a trader is not as easy as most think. It is quite different lifestyle portrayed on Instagram. You could be a trader for five years and you'd still not have enough knowledge or experience. Maintaining profitability is a tough challenge.
🌟Fast ways to lose money trading;
👉Trade too much - You don't have to enter a trade everyday even if you're a day trader.
👉Trade too big - Don't use more than 6% of your capital when trading. Ensure your liquidity is low
👉Trade randomly - Don't trade every coin. Be smart, choose coins you're comfortable with. Don't gamble, always have a plan and follow through on it.
👉Trade based on your emotions - Trading is about 90% psychology. Guard your mind and your heart so you can properly apply your trading plan.
👉Trade based on predictions - Don't trade based on financial advice from someone on telegram or any of the social media platforms. Do your own research.
👉No stop loss: This happened to me once. I lost a chunk of my capital. Stop loss was created for a purpose use it for every one of your trade.
👉Cut winners fast: Don't be greedy!! Collect your profits.
👉Let losing trades run: This would kill you, if a trader is going bad I think it's better to close the position at your stop limit rather than letting it run in hopes it may come back to our favor.
Most of the time new traders take losses because of greed and emotions. Using stop loss is not necessary if you are not using your full balance. And using the full balance in trading is a very bad idea. Buy the dip and if the price falls more rebuy more to lower average buy. Thats the way to make your every trade profitable.
