Why Most Traders Enter at the Worst Moment and How to Change That
Every trader knows the feeling. You buy, price dumps. You sell, price rockets. It feels like the market is against you but it’s really your own actions causing it.
Here’s why your timing always feels wrong:
You trade on impulse. A green candle pushes you to FOMO in, a red one makes you panic sell. You’re always reacting to the end of a move.
You follow the crowd too late. By the time you jump in, experienced traders have already positioned and are unloading into your buys.
You hold losing trades too long. Instead of cutting small, you keep hoping. When you finally close, the loss is far worse.
You expect quick results. If the trade doesn’t move instantly, you bail only to see the real move happen after you exit.
This cycle repeats endlessly: retail panic → smart money buys → slow climb → retail chases → smart money sells → retail stuck → same trap again.$BTC
