🤔📝 My $600 wipeout taught me the hard way: trading without a plan is just gambling. You *need* a blueprint. Here's a simple one, no excuses. First, **Entry Criteria**: When exactly will you enter? (e.g., "BTC breaks $72,000 on the 15m with increasing volume"). Second, **Stop Level**: Where do you cut losses? (e.g., "Hard stop at $71,700"). Third, **Target**: Where are you taking profit? (e.g., "First target $72,800, second $73,500"). Fourth, **Position Size**: This is crucial! With a $1000 account, risking 1% ($10) and a $300 stop, you're trading 0.033 BTC. Don't overlever. Fifth, **Max Daily Loss**: What's your daily limit? (e.g., "Max 2% ($20) loss for the day, then walk away"). Write this down *before* you open that chart. It keeps your emotions out of it, preventing FOMO buys or panic...
