Why do you keep blowing your trading account?
You might fall into one (or more) of these categories:
• You don’t know how to properly calculate your risk per trade.
• You risk too much on a single trade.
• Your psychology is weak — you always want to win and struggle to accept losses, so you keep moving your stop loss.
• You focus on the potential reward before considering the risk.
• You don’t know when your setup is invalidated — you become “married” to your bias and force trades to fit your idea.
• You overtrade, especially after a loss, trying to recover quickly.
• You don’t have a clear trading plan and rules.
• You don’t journal or review your trades to learn from mistakes.
Blowing accounts is rarely about the market. Most times, it’s about discipline, risk management, and mindset.
