Hello, traders. OutCoins is here for some real talk.
If your portfolio keeps shrinking month after month, it’s not the market’s fault, the exchange’s fault, or some "institutional manipulator" hunting your stops. It’s your execution. In 2026, with bots trading in milliseconds, those without discipline simply become exit liquidity for the big players.
If you are bleeding money, you are breaking one (or all) of these 3 mathematical and psychological rules:
1. The Leverage Illusion & The 2% Rule (Risk Management)
Most people enter the Futures market using 20x or 50x leverage with their entire bankroll because they want to "make a month's salary" on a single 15-minute candle.
The Technical Detail: When you use cross margin and high leverage, the liquidation engine doesn't forgive. A mere 2% market breathe against your position wipes out your account.How to fix it: Use the 2% Rule. If your total capital is $1,000, your Stop Loss should cost you an absolute maximum of $20. This means you have to be wrong 50 times in a row to blow your account. Calculate your position size before you open the trade so your stop respects those $20.
2. The Dopamine Trap (Overtrading & Revenge Trading)
You hit your target and made $50 in the morning. Your brain gets a dopamine rush. You feel like the Wolf of Wall Street. Instead of closing the laptop, your ego whispers: "The market is easy today, just one more trade."
The Psychological Detail: The market is designed to exploit your mental fatigue. By the second or third trade of the day, you are no longer analyzing the context (Volume, Macro, Narrative); you are just addicted to clicking buttons. The market flips, you lose your $50 profit, and bleed another $100 from your original bankroll trying to revenge trade.How to fix it: Set a strict daily profit target and a daily loss limit. Hit either? Close the app. The charts will be there tomorrow; your money might not be.
3. Flying Blind (Ignoring the Risk-Reward Ratio)
You click "Buy" because an AI token started pumping. But you haven't calculated where you will take profit or where you will accept defeat (Stop Loss).
The Technical Detail: Professional traders use a 1:3 Risk/Reward ratio. Meaning: if they risk losing $20 on a stop, their profit target must be at least $60. With a 1:3 ratio, you can win only 3 out of 10 trades and still end the month in profit.How to fix it: If you haven't mapped out your exit scenario before pressing the buy button, cancel the order. You are gambling, not trading.
Survival comes before profit. OutCoins isn't here to give you miracle signals, but to make sure you don't get eaten alive by the market algorithms.
