When prices rise, you want to double your money; when they fall, you just want to break even
Up 30% and you don’t sell, hoping to double your money → Profits evaporate → You sell at a loss → The coin takes off → You kick yourself
Down 20% and you don’t cut your losses, hoping to break even → You sink deeper into the hole → It gets cut in half and you play dead → You’re wiped out completely
With this kind of trading, it doesn’t matter if you win 9 out of 10 times—one liquidation wipes you out.
Why? Because this isn’t about mindset. It’s arithmetic.
- Lose 50%, and you need to gain 100% just to break even
- One 50% loss wipes out all your small wins
Your gains are linear; your losses are leveraged.
All you’re missing is a line
A stop-loss line—the one you set before entering a trade. When it’s hit, get out. No excuses, no waiting for a bounce.
Have a reason to enter; have the discipline to exit.
The market never gives money to people who are “greedy and forgetful.”
It only rewards those who are willing to walk away with gains and quick to cut their losses.
It’s no shame to make a little less. Getting wiped out is.
