Trading Pitfalls: Practical Advice for Both New and Experienced Traders
After last night's live stream, many friends came to discuss their trading confusions—whether they are beginners just starting out or seasoned players who have been in the game for a long time, everyone is saying "I haven't made any money" and "it's hard to break even." The core issue boils down to one thing: trading without a strategy, relying solely on gut feelings.
Many people see others making money from trades, but when they try to operate themselves, they end up losing more than they earn. The root of the problem lies in two points: inconsistent position sizes and fluctuating leverage.
Opening positions that are too large leads to panic when losses appear, causing traders to cut losses and exit the market without enough funds to average down, and without understanding how to set stop losses to protect their capital, resulting in deeper and deeper losses. On the other hand, opening positions that are too small means that after finally making a bit of profit, they rush to increase their positions; a pullback can wipe out all their gains, leaving them regretting their decisions.
Trading is not about "guessing price movements based on luck," but rather about following rules and controlling risks. Here are three core suggestions to help everyone avoid these pitfalls:
1. Fixed Position Size Ratio: No matter how good the market conditions are, never exceed 5%-10% of your preset capital for a single position to avoid heavy losses in one trade;
2. Set a Leverage Limit: Determine your leverage based on your risk tolerance and never increase leverage impulsively to chase the market, which reduces the impact of volatility;
3. Strictly Execute Stop Losses and Take Profits: Set your stop loss level in advance, take profits in batches after making gains, and avoid being greedy or blindly holding onto losses.
I hope everyone can break free from the misconception of "trading based on feelings," replacing impulse with rules and gradually accumulating stable profits~
It has been several days since I last broadcast, and I've been improving the market robot for my brothers🤖
The robot is the culmination of my work over the years. In the past, I needed to manually find potential coins, but now I've given my ideas to the large model, which monitors over 900 different tokens, as if it has 80% of my capabilities.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces. During this time, I haven't been very active in the square, and suddenly many 'doctors' have emerged. I hope these 'doctors' can show some real skills, rather than just relying on random chatter and blocking those who disagree to survive. The so-called situation where you post a trade, and others follow you and lose money, while you neither admit your mistakes nor analyze the reasons, but instead scold your fans, is somewhat unreasonable.
