Most traders think they’re losing because of the market.
But the truth?
The market isn’t your enemy—you are.
Here are 4 ways you’re sabotaging your trades 👇
1. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out):
You see price moving quickly, and you panic. You jump into trades without proper analysis because you’re afraid of “missing out.”
Why this is deadly:
Chasing price often means entering too late, right before a reversal.
You’re acting on emotion, not logic.
Fix:
Set alerts at key levels so you’re prepared in advance.
Stick to your trading plan—if the trade doesn’t meet your criteria, let it go.
💡 Pro Tip: There will ALWAYS be another trade. Missed opportunities are better than losing money.
2. Overtrading:
You think the more trades you take, the more money you’ll make. But in reality:
Why this is deadly:
Overtrading often leads to bad setups and emotional decisions.
Each trade exposes you to risk—more trades = more risk.
Fix:
Limit yourself to 1-3 high-quality trades per day (or week).
Focus on A+ setups that align with your strategy.
💡 Pro Tip: Quality beats quantity every time. Less is more in trading.
3. Ignoring Risk Management:
You go all-in or risk more than you should, hoping to hit the jackpot. When the trade goes south, it wipes out your account.
Why this is deadly:
One bad trade can ruin weeks of progress.
Without risk management, your losses will always outweigh your wins.
Fix:
Only risk 1-2% of your account per trade.
Use a position size calculator to ensure you’re sizing trades correctly.
💡 Pro Tip: Protecting your capital is more important than making quick profits.
4. No Journal (No Tracking):
You take trades without keeping track of your wins, losses, and mistakes. As a result:
Why this is deadly:
You keep repeating the same mistakes.
You have no way to identify patterns in your trading behavior.
Fix:
Start a trading journal today. Record:The setup you took.
Your reasoning for entering.
The result of the trade.
What you learned.
💡 Pro Tip: Journaling turns your mistakes into lessons and your wins into blueprints.

- NOTE : I have been trading for 5 years, if you are in year 1/2/3 don't compare yourself to me. Also when you make money be humble , give to your friends and family , remain with an open heart as a giver and God will continue to bless you. Godspeed 🕊️🕊️
Thanks the Lord Jesus Christ for guiding me on my Journey in Life & Trading. Following God's Plan!
$BTC Update
- 97k holding (if lost -> 92k) not the best reaction atm. Holidays coming in so thin books across the board.
- 125k in Q1 remains main thesis (going below 85/87k invalidates that thesis)
This looks as we are forming bottom for the month and then go with acceleration into January/February/March.
The thing that will sky rocket your success is actually journaling and reflecting upon your decision.
There is no other way around it.
Make it so easy to win , so you win.

Once qOpen is done price will start grinding towards pqOpen.
yOpen held nicely for 2 months with absorbtion at the lows.
Think about how a candle is created.
Open-> HIGH/LOW -> Close.
Now implement this into Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly Candles.
