Ah, trading. The magical world where people think theyāre one Fibonacci line away from quitting their jobs and buying a yacht. š
Exceptā¦ reality check: Most traders lose. Like, a lot. Not because the market is rigged (though, letās be honest, it kinda is), but because theyāre out here making the same rookie mistakes over and over.

Today’s lesson? Your entry doesnāt matter as much as you think. Yeah, I said it. Go ahead, clutch your moving averages and cry into your candlestick patterns. But if you donāt know how to EXIT, your āperfectā entries are just a fancy way to lose money in style.
So, buckle upātoday weāre diving into the biggest trading conspiracy that nobody wants to talk about. šµļøāāļø

The Great Trading Lie: “Itās All About the Entry” š¤”
Let me guessāwhen you started trading, you spent hours obsessing over entries.
-
“Whatās the best strategy?” š¤
-
“Whenās the exact right moment to buy?” šÆ
-
“Maybe I need just one more indicatorā¦” šš
Spoiler alert: Thatās all nonsense. The biggest money in trading? Itās made when you exit, not when you enter.
Think of it like dating. You can have the perfect pickup line, the smoothest approachā¦ but if you donāt know how to exit the relationship before it crashes and burns, congratulationsāyou just ruined your life. š
Same with trading. If you donāt have a solid exit strategy, youāre just entering trades for sportāand the market will eat you alive.

The Ouija Board Experiment: When Random Trades Outperform You š
Still donāt believe me? Cool. Letās talk about an actual experiment where a bunch of traders picked random tradesāusing a freaking Ouija board, Scrabble tiles, and a spin-the-wheel game.
No indicators. No fancy algorithms. Just pure, unfiltered chaos.
And guess what? They still made a 15% return in a year. š¤Æ
Meanwhile, most traders with “serious” strategies are out here blowing accounts faster than an influencer burns through brand deals.
Why? Simple:
ā
They had an exit strategy.
ā
They used proper risk management.
ā
They didnāt revenge trade like an emotional wreck.
Imagine thatāyou could literally flip a coin, win 40% of your trades, and STILL come out aheadā¦ if you knew how to manage your exits.

The Rollercoaster of Trading: Hope, Despair, and the Market Laughing at You š¢
Real talk: Trading is streaky AF.
These guys in the experiment? They had:
š„ A HUGE winning streak. Felt unstoppable. Probably thought they cracked the matrix.
āļø Followed by 11 straight losses. Full existential crisis mode. “Maybe I should just start a dropshipping business instead.”
And guess what happened right after the losing streak?
Their biggest winning trade.
Thatās trading in a nutshell. Just when youāre about to rage quit, the market gives you the trade of a lifetime. But guess what? Most traders never get there because they give up too soon.
Ever stopped trading for a few days, only to check back and see that your system wouldāve made money? Yeah. Happens all the time. The market is a professional troll and exists purely to test your patience.

The #1 Trading Mistake That Will Ruin You (And No, Itās Not Your Strategy) š¤¦āāļø
Wanna know the biggest mistake traders make? Position sizing.
Look, I get it. Risk management isnāt sexy. Itās not as fun as pretending youāre the next Wolf of Wall Street. But itās the only reason the traders in this experiment survived 11 losses in a row and still made bank.
-
They risked 1% per trade. (Meanwhile, youāre risking 10% like itās Vegas.) š°
-
They didnāt chase losses. (Meanwhile, youāre revenge trading because the market “owes you”āit doesnāt.) š«
-
They stuck to their system. (Meanwhile, youāre changing strategies faster than a TikTok trend.) šŗ
Thatās why they ended up profitable, while most traders are still debating whether they should “double down” after a 50% drawdown.

How to Actually Win at This Game šÆ
Alright, so letās sum this up:
ā Stop obsessing over entries. No, really. Youāre wasting time.
ā Focus on exits. Thatās where the money is. Period.
ā Use proper position sizing. If youāre betting half your account per trade, youāre not a traderāyouāre a gambler.
ā Stay consistent. Losing streaks happen. Big wins come right after. Donāt quit before they do.
ā Trust the process. The market doesnāt care about your feelings. Either adapt or get wrecked.
If you can do that, you might actually have a shot at making money. If not? Wellā¦ good luck in crypto. š

Final Thoughts: Why Most Traders Fail (and Why You Donāt Have To) š
Look, the market will always try to shake you out. It will test your patience, your discipline, and your ability to not act like a degenerate every time you take a loss.
The traders in this experiment didnāt outsmart the market.
They didnāt predict the future.
They didnāt use 20 indicators and a PhD-level algorithm.
They justā¦ followed a plan and didnāt screw it up.
Thatās it. Thatās the secret.
So, next time youāre about to take a trade, ask yourself:
-
“Do I have a real exit plan?”
-
“Am I managing risk properly?”
-
“Or am I just clicking buttons and hoping for the best?”
The market doesnāt reward hope. It rewards discipline. So if youāre tired of blowing accounts, maybe itās time to stop overcomplicating things and just trade like a grown-up.
And on that noteāsee you in the next post. Hopefully, with a little less cope and a little more profit. šš°
