Risking more than 2% per trade — Fatal Mistake #1
Crypto example: BTC • ETH • SOL
Real-life example:
Capital: $10,000 = loss
40% loss = $500 = $500 = only 5% of the account lost in one trade
2% risk = $200 loss
One loss = only 2%. It takes 50 consecutive losses to reach -64%
Reasons:
• Greed — wanting quick profits
• Revenge — opening a larger trade to recover a loss
• Overconfidence — ignoring risk management
How does it affect you?
Rapid capital erosion — psychological pressure increases mistakes → recovery becomes difficult → a spiral of losses that is hard to escape
Trader psychology:
Fear and greed → random decisions
Overconfidence — inability to accept a loss → big loss
Steps to protect yourself:
1- Set risk at a maximum of 2%; calculate it before entering a trade
2- Always use a stop-loss to protect your capital (SL)
3- Divide your capital; don’t put all your capital into one trade
4- Stick to the plan: a written plan + no exceptions
