Spent time looking at why beginner traders blow up accounts, and it's almost never the strategy itself. It's one of three things:

1. Position sizing, not entry timing.

Most beginners obsess over finding the "perfect entry" but risk 10-20% of their account on a single trade. A mediocre strategy with 1% risk per trade survives a losing streak. A great strategy with 10% risk per trade doesn't. Do the math on 5 losses in a row at each risk level — it's not close.

2. No predefined exit before entering.

If you don't know your stop-loss and target before you click buy, you'll move your stop-loss when the trade goes against you "just to give it room." That's how a -1% loss becomes a -8% loss.

3. Trading every session instead of your session.

Volatility and volume aren't constant throughout the day. Trading in low-liquidity windows because you're bored produces noisy, low-quality setups — and most losses come from these low-conviction trades, not the well-planned ones.

None of this requires a better indicator. It requires treating trading as risk management first, pattern recognition second.

Not a get-rich-quick. A real framework to stop the bleeding and build something sustainable.

Curious what's tripped others up most — sizing, exits, or overtrading?
