Why do 90% of new traders fail within their first year? It’s rarely about the lack of a good indicator; it’s almost always about emotional debt. One of the deadliest traps for beginners is the "Get Back to Even" mentality.
We’ve all been there: a trade hits your Stop Loss or goes deep into the red, and suddenly, your goal shifts from "following the plan" to "just getting my money back." This is where Revenge Trading begins. You over-leverage, you ignore your entry signals, and you start chasing the market.
The market doesn't know you lost money, and it certainly doesn't owe you a "refund." The moment you let a past loss dictate your next entry, you've already lost the mental game. To survive in crypto, you must learn to accept a loss as a "business expense," not a personal defeat.
True wealth in trading is built on consistency, not on "winning back" what you lost in a moment of frustration. Let’s be honest: Have you ever revenge-traded after a bad hit? How did you break the cycle? Share your story below! 👇

90% of people on Binance Square are doing it wrong. I see it every day in the comments. You are chasing green candles, panic-selling red ones, and wondering why your portfolio is shrinking.
If you want to survive this cycle, you need to understand the 3 Rules of Smart Money:
1. If it's on the news, you are late. 🐢
By the time your favorite influencer tweets about a coin, they have already bought their bags weeks ago. They are using your liquidity to exit. Stop being their exit liquidity. Buy when the chat is quiet. Sell when the chat is euphoric.
2. Leverage is the enemy of patience. 📉
You don't need 50x leverage to get rich. You need time. The biggest gains in crypto don't come from day trading; they come from holding high-conviction assets for 6-12 months. Delete your futures tab for a month and watch your stress levels drop.
3. Take profits or the market will take them for you. 💸
"Diamond Hands" is a meme, not a strategy. Have a target. If your coin does a 3x, take out your initial investment. Now you are riding on "house money" and you will never trade with emotion again.
The Truth: The market is designed to transfer money from the impatient to the patient. Which one are you today?

I started trading back in 2021.I knew candlestick patterns.I knew formations — head & shoulders, wedges, triangles. I understood indicators.
And the most dangerous part —I thought I understood the market.
I was making money. Not millions, but consistent.
I thought I had a system.
Then came November 2021.
Everyone thought Bitcoin was going to the moon 🚀
Me too.
My deposit wasn’t huge, so I used leverage — x5.
18 Nov — I opened a trade, expecting the uptrend to continue. But the market doesn’t owe you anything.
A few days later — loss.
Here’s where I made my first real mistake: I wanted to make it back.
1 Dec — new trade, x10 leverage.
Not a trader’s decision. A human decision. Driven by greed and fear.
I didn’t see the obvious. I only saw what I wanted to see.
Two days later — liquidation. 1000$ left.
I waited. Thought I saw a reversal. Opened another trade.
Lost the last thousand.
At that moment, it felt like:
the market was against melife was passing me byeverything was falling apart
I was nervous, broken.
My wife left me. I was alone.Empty account. Shattered ego.
I had dreamed of multiplying capital, building a bigger house, living free. And ended up with nothing.
Who was to blame?
The market? ❌
No. Me. ✅
I built illusions where there were none. Forced indicators to fit my opinion. Looked for confirmation, not truth.
I didn’t trade for six months. Just recovered mentally.
And learned something simple:
I knew too little.
I was too sure of myself.
When Bitcoin was $30,000 — I just bought on spot.
No leverage. No panic. No chasing perfect bottoms.
Then it fell to $16,000. Hard.

But this time — no emotions. Each month — bought from salary. Didn’t watch price, watched the future.
Do you know the price I sold at? 68,500
Almost two years waiting. All that time — working on myself.
Now? I wait. I plan. I buy without hysteria.
If Bitcoin goes $40,000 — I’m not scared. I’ve survived worse.
I know the market is cyclical.
2–3–4 years — new highs again.
The most expensive lesson:
The market didn’t destroy me. My ego did.
Leverage doesn’t kill deposits. The desire to prove you’re right does.
Now I don’t try to outsmart the market. I work with it.
If you’re in a drawdown — it’s not the end.
Ask yourself honestly:
Are you trading strategy or hope?
Sometimes the most profitable move is: proving nothing.
Protect your capital. 💰
And yourself. ❤️🫂

#FOMO #psychology #psychological #FOMC‬⁩ #historylife

Everyone asks:
“Why are prices falling?”
“Is this manipulation?”
“Is the bull run over?”
Wrong question.
The real question is:
Why were you overexposed before the dip even started?
The Hard Truth
Most traders don’t lose money during dips.
They lose because they were:
OverleveragedAll-inEmotionally attached to their biasIgnoring risk management during green days
Dips don’t create weak traders.
They reveal them.
When the market was pumping, nobody talked about risk.
No stop losses.
No hedge.
No cash position.
Just “UP ONLY”.
And then red candles arrive…
Suddenly it’s “market manipulation”.
Smart Traders Do This Instead
Before volatility hits, they:
• Scale in — not ape in
• Keep dry powder
• Accept that they can be wrong
• Protect capital first
Because survival > ego.
You can’t compound if you’re liquidated.
Here’s the Psychological Trap
During dips, your brain says:
“This is the bottom.”
“I’ll miss the rebound.”
“Everyone else is buying.”
That’s not strategy.
That’s fear of missing recovery.
And FOMO works both ways — not just on the way up.
The Real Hot Take
The market is not designed to reward intelligence.
It rewards discipline.
You don’t need better indicators.
You need better position sizing.
You don’t need more signals.
You need fewer emotional decisions.
If you survived this dip calmly, you’re ahead of 80% of traders.
If you didn’t — good.
Tuition paid. Lesson learned.
Now adjust.
What’s your strategy during corrections — scale in or wait for confirmation?

INTRODUCTION
Look, I know what you want. You want me to tell you which memecoin goes to the moon next. But if I told you the best trading tool isn't a bot, an indicator, or a paid group, but a simple Excel file, would you believe me?
Most traders in 2026 are gamblers. They click "Buy" on $SOL because they feel bullish. They sell $ETH because they feel scared. Feelings get you rekt. A Trading Journal is the only way to stop gambling and start running a business. I ignored this for two years and paid the price. Today, I'm saving you that tuition fee.
WHY YOUR BRAIN IS LYING TO YOU
You think you remember your trades. You don't.
The Winner's Bias: You remember the one time you bought the bottom on $PEPE and made 300%.The Loser's Amnesia: You conveniently forget the 5 times you bought the top and lost 20% each time.
An Excel sheet (or Notion, or even a notebook) forces you to face reality. It shows you that maybe your "gut feeling" is actually just FOMO. It shows you that you lose money every time you trade after 8 PM. Data doesn't lie.
WHAT TO TRACK (THE "MUST-HAVES")
Don't overcomplicate it. You don't need fancy formulas. You need these 5 columns:
Entry Trigger: WHY did you buy? (e.g., "RSI divergence", "Elon Musk tweet", "Support bounce").Emotion at Entry: Were you calm? Excited? Scared? (If you write "Excited" too often, you are gambling).Risk/Reward: Did you risk $10 to make $30? Or did you risk $100 to make $10?Exit Reason: Did you hit your target, or did you panic sell?Mistake/Lesson: This is the most important column. Be brutal with yourself.
THE "SECRET SAUCE": THE R-MULTIPLE
Here is the Alpha. Stop counting dollars. Start counting R.
"R" is your risk per trade.
If you risk $50 per trade, and you make $150, you made 3R.If you lose $50, you lost -1R.
Why does this matter? Because in 2026, Altcoins are volatile. If you focus on dollars ("OMG I made $500!"), you get emotional. If you focus on R-multiples ("I made 2R today"), you stay professional. A journal calculates this for you automatically.
YOUR ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY
Open Google Sheets or Excel.Create the columns I listed above.Log your last 5 trades from your Binance History (even the painful ones).Look for a pattern. Are you losing on weekends? Are you losing on Breakouts?Make a rule: "I will not trade until I fill out the journal."

Trading without a journal is like driving with your eyes closed. You might survive for a while, but eventually, you will crash.
The market in 2026 is ruthless. The only edge you have against the institutions and bots is your discipline. The Excel file is your shield. Use it.
Follow for more Alpha. 🚀🇺🇦
Question: Be honest—do you actually know your Win Rate for this month, or are you just guessing? 👇
