4) Check “compensatory trading”
One of the most common mistakes: entering a new trade quickly after a loss to try to make it back. This usually turns the decision from a planned approach into an emotional reaction. Record for every trade: the reason for entering, the risk size, and what made you close it.

5) Monitor the number of trades and fees
In a small portfolio, fees and price spreads can be relatively significant, especially when frequently moving between small-cap coins. If there is frequent buying and selling without fixed rules, losses may accumulate even if the price moves slightly in your favor.

6) Don’t mix the spot wallet with contracts
These data apply to the spot wallet only. Contract positions, leverage, funding, and liquidation probabilities are not shown. If your losses happened in contracts, the root cause may be completely different from the spot-wallet distribution shown here.

Practical template to review your last five trades:
For each trade, write: the asset, the reason for entering, whether the decision was based on news/signal/analysis, what would have made you consider the idea invalid, and the reason for exiting. Look for repeated words such as: “fear,” “compensation,” “recommendation,” “it was delayed,” or “I didn’t set a plan.” Repetition is the mistake that deserves to be addressed first.
