Most Traders Lose for One Reason (It’s Not the Market)
I thought trading was about finding the perfect strategy.
Indicators. Signals. YouTube videos.
I was wrong.
Most traders lose because they don’t control risk or emotion.
Here are 3 rules that changed everything for me:
1. Risk small, stay alive
Never risk more than 1–2% of your balance per trade.
If one loss hurts, your next trade will be emotional.
Small losses = long-term survival.
2. Trade less, think more
One or two good trades a day beats ten random ones.
If you feel fear or excitement, skip the trade.
Calm trades are usually the right trades.
3. Write down your mistakes
A simple journal shows your real enemy: your habits.
No indicator can fix bad discipline.
The market doesn’t need you to be right every time.
It needs you to be consistent.
Slow growth is real growth.
Fast money is usually paid for with big losses.
If this post saves you one bad trade, it already won.
Trade safe. Protect capital. Let time do the work.
