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

Today’s lesson? Your entry doesn’t 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 don’t know how to EXIT, your ‘perfect’ entries are just a fancy way to lose money in style.
So, buckle up—today we’re diving into the biggest trading conspiracy that nobody wants to talk about.

The Great Trading Lie: “It’s All About the Entry” 
Let me guess—when you started trading, you spent hours obsessing over entries.
-
“What’s the best strategy?”
-
“When’s the exact right moment to buy?”
-
“Maybe I need just one more indicator…”
Spoiler alert: That’s all nonsense. The biggest money in trading? It’s made when you exit, not when you enter.
Think of it like dating. You can have the perfect pickup line, the smoothest approach… but if you don’t know how to exit the relationship before it crashes and burns, congratulations—you just ruined your life. 
Same with trading. If you don’t have a solid exit strategy, you’re just entering trades for sport—and the market will eat you alive.

The Ouija Board Experiment: When Random Trades Outperform You 
Still don’t believe me? Cool. Let’s talk about an actual experiment where a bunch of traders picked random trades—using 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. 
Meanwhile, most traders with “serious” strategies are out here blowing accounts faster than an influencer burns through brand deals.
Why? Simple:
They had an exit strategy. They used proper risk management. They didn’t revenge trade like an emotional wreck.
Imagine that—you could literally flip a coin, win 40% of your trades, and STILL come out ahead… if you knew how to manage your exits.

The Rollercoaster of Trading: Hope, Despair, and the Market Laughing at You 
Real talk: Trading is streaky AF.
These guys in the experiment? They had:
A HUGE winning streak. Felt unstoppable. Probably thought they cracked the matrix.
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.
That’s trading in a nutshell. Just when you’re 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 would’ve 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, It’s Not Your Strategy) 
Wanna know the biggest mistake traders make? Position sizing.
Look, I get it. Risk management isn’t sexy. It’s not as fun as pretending you’re the next Wolf of Wall Street. But it’s the only reason the traders in this experiment survived 11 losses in a row and still made bank.
-
They risked 1% per trade. (Meanwhile, you’re risking 10% like it’s Vegas.)
-
They didn’t chase losses. (Meanwhile, you’re revenge trading because the market “owes you”—it doesn’t.)
-
They stuck to their system. (Meanwhile, you’re changing strategies faster than a TikTok trend.)
That’s 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
Alright, so let’s sum this up:
Stop obsessing over entries. No, really. You’re wasting time. Focus on exits. That’s where the money is. Period. Use proper position sizing. If you’re betting half your account per trade, you’re not a trader—you’re a gambler. Stay consistent. Losing streaks happen. Big wins come right after. Don’t quit before they do. Trust the process. The market doesn’t 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? Well… good luck in crypto.

Final Thoughts: Why Most Traders Fail (and Why You Don’t Have To) 
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 didn’t outsmart the market.
They didn’t predict the future.
They didn’t use 20 indicators and a PhD-level algorithm.
They just… followed a plan and didn’t screw it up.
That’s it. That’s the secret.
So, next time you’re 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 doesn’t reward hope. It rewards discipline. So if you’re tired of blowing accounts, maybe it’s time to stop overcomplicating things and just trade like a grown-up.
And on that note—see you in the next post. Hopefully, with a little less cope and a little more profit.
