Been in crypto trading long enough to watch hundreds of beginners blow up accounts. It's almost never a bad call. It's almost always one of these three things:

1. No stop-loss, ever.

New traders treat stop-losses like an admission of failure. They're not — they're the only thing standing between "bad trade" and "account gone." If you don't know your exit before you enter, you don't have a trade, you have a bet.

2. Position sizing by feeling, not math.

"This one feels like a winner" is how 10% positions turn into 50% positions turn into liquidation. Decide your max risk per trade (1-2% of account is standard) before you look at the chart, not after.

3. Revenge trading after a loss.

The single fastest way to turn one bad trade into a bad week. The market doesn't owe you a comeback. Walk away, journal the loss, come back tomorrow.

None of this is exciting advice. It's also the difference between traders who are still around in 12 months and traders who aren't.

If you want the entries/exits done for you while you build these habits, that's literally what we built Apex Signals for — but even if you never join, fix these three things first.
