Let’s be real, most retail traders either panic too fast or get greedy when things get turbulent in the market. Every cycle, it’s the same story: either selling too early or holding on too long, and then the same mistakes happen again.
The truth is that many traders never really sit down and study what is going on. They fail to backtest their strategies. They just try to guess what the market will do next. Crypto backtesting is simply testing your approach using historical price data to see what would have happened. It gives you real feedback on whether your strategy could have made money or lost it.
If you missed taking profit in previous market cycles and continue to repeat the same mistake, it might be time to stop blaming the market. Take a moment, study your moves, test your ideas, and learn from the past. The market will always come back, but the lessons you learn today can make a difference tomorrow.
Well, I can say that it's normal. In fact, even expert traders who have been trading for many years still make the same mistakes. And to be honest with you, i've seen many of them share their experiences with their students and provide explanations after the session. Why? Because sometimes we don't recognize the real movement of the market due to its volatility, so we need to accept that,and that's normal. That's also the purpose of risk management coz it's the reason many traders can survive when the market goes against a specific strategy
