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

Today’s lesson? Your entry doesnât 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 donât know how to EXIT, your âperfectâ entries are just a fancy way to lose money in style.
So, buckle upâtoday weâre diving into the biggest trading conspiracy that nobody wants to talk about. đľď¸ââď¸

The Great Trading Lie: “Itâs All About the Entry” đ¤Ą
Let me guessâwhen you started trading, you spent hours obsessing over entries.
-
“Whatâs the best strategy?” đ¤
-
“Whenâs the exact right moment to buy?” đŻ
-
“Maybe I need just one more indicator⌔ đđ
Spoiler alert: Thatâs all nonsense. The biggest money in trading? Itâs 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 donât know how to exit the relationship before it crashes and burns, congratulationsâyou just ruined your life. đ
Same with trading. If you donât have a solid exit strategy, youâre just entering trades for sportâand the market will eat you alive.

The Ouija Board Experiment: When Random Trades Outperform You đ
Still donât believe me? Cool. Letâs talk about an actual experiment where a bunch of traders picked random tradesâusing 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. đ¤Ż
Meanwhile, most traders with “serious” strategies are out here blowing accounts faster than an influencer burns through brand deals.
Why? Simple:
â
They had an exit strategy.
â
They used proper risk management.
â
They didnât revenge trade like an emotional wreck.
Imagine thatâyou 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 đ˘
Real talk: Trading is streaky AF.
These guys in the experiment? They had:
đĽ A HUGE winning streak. Felt unstoppable. Probably thought they cracked the matrix.
âď¸ 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.
Thatâs trading in a nutshell. Just when youâre 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 wouldâve 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, Itâs Not Your Strategy) đ¤Śââď¸
Wanna know the biggest mistake traders make? Position sizing.
Look, I get it. Risk management isnât sexy. Itâs not as fun as pretending youâre the next Wolf of Wall Street. But itâs the only reason the traders in this experiment survived 11 losses in a row and still made bank.
-
They risked 1% per trade. (Meanwhile, youâre risking 10% like itâs Vegas.) đ°
-
They didnât chase losses. (Meanwhile, youâre revenge trading because the market “owes you”âit doesnât.) đŤ
-
They stuck to their system. (Meanwhile, youâre changing strategies faster than a TikTok trend.) đş
Thatâs 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 đŻ
Alright, so letâs sum this up:
â Stop obsessing over entries. No, really. Youâre wasting time.
â Focus on exits. Thatâs where the money is. Period.
â Use proper position sizing. If youâre betting half your account per trade, youâre not a traderâyouâre a gambler.
â Stay consistent. Losing streaks happen. Big wins come right after. Donât quit before they do.
â Trust the process. The market doesnât 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. đ

Final Thoughts: Why Most Traders Fail (and Why You Donât Have To) đ
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 didnât outsmart the market.
They didnât predict the future.
They didnât use 20 indicators and a PhD-level algorithm.
They just⌠followed a plan and didnât screw it up.
Thatâs it. Thatâs the secret.
So, next time youâre 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 doesnât reward hope. It rewards discipline. So if youâre tired of blowing accounts, maybe itâs time to stop overcomplicating things and just trade like a grown-up.
And on that noteâsee you in the next post. Hopefully, with a little less cope and a little more profit. đđ°
