Most common ways to lose it all:
Becoming permanently attached to a single coin, narrative, or position
Never taking profits on anything (or always rolling those profits into other positions without ever cashing out)
Moving targets higher/lower as price moves in your favour
Buying the dip/shorting the rip with leverage and no hard stops or invalidation
Adding to losing trades without a predetermined maximum risk allocation
Overtrading your core spot/low leverage positions or trading leverage out of boredom
Not taking the hint that conditions have changed when your setups stop printing and instead continuing to trade as you were, without adapting
Chasing your all-time high PnL via revenge trading + setting arbitrary portfolio goals
Developing a God complex (from a short term win streak) that you’ll never be wrong
Adjusting your lifestyle and spending as soon as you make a few good trades + assuming you’ll always be able to make X amount of money trading (conditions change, so your extrapolation is nonsensical)
Knocking up an egirl you flew out after flexing uPnL on Hyperliquid and having to pay 50% of your liquid net worth in child support payments
