"REGRET" – The Hidden Enemy That Causes 90% of Traders to Lose Their Accounts

In trading, it's not the market, not the sharks, and not the news... but rather "REGRET" that kills most accounts. It may sound simple, but if you think about it deeply, you'll realize that you've experienced this to some extent. Let's see which stage of "REGRET" you are in:

1. Missed Opportunity – FOMO Entry Afraid of missing out on good orders, afraid of losing momentum, so always jumping into Long at the peak and Short at the bottom. Seeing the price move, I jump in immediately without any plan. The result? The account becomes a joke for the market.
2. Capital Loss – Overleveraging Thinking that with a small volume, the profit would be low, so one must invest really big to get rich quickly. But the market only needs a slight shake, and the account is already gone.
3. Regret PNL in the Future – DCA Recklessly Afraid of low interest rates and regretting missed opportunities, many people DCA without control and do not set stop-loss orders at all. A wrong order becomes a huge loss with no way to recover.
4. Stop Loss is Negative – Pull SL Far Out The mindset of "what if it recovers" causes traders not to cut losses but to move the stop-loss further away. Small losses turn into large losses, and large losses lead to account burnout.
5. Regret the Wave – Chart Addiction Seeing the market running while standing outside feels uncomfortable. Even without orders, I have to open the chart every 5-10 minutes, and when I have orders, I check my phone every 30 seconds. This feeling not only harms the mentality but also impairs the Trader's ability to make rational decisions.
6. Regretting Other People's Signals – All In Without Restraint Hearing someone share a deal, regretting that I missed it, so I go all in immediately. I might profit from a few trades, but sooner or later I'll end up "on an island" because I don't have a capital management strategy.
7. Regret Not Buying Coin – But Can't Hold the Profit Looking at other coins being pumped and others being dumped is regretful. But let me ask you honestly: are you sure you can hold onto your profits? Or do you panic sell as soon as there's a slight dip and take profits too early as soon as there's a slight gain? 🔹 What Is the Nature of the Market? The market exists thanks to liquidity and crowd psychology. "Market Makers" always exploit the REGRET and FEAR of Traders to manipulate prices. The more you regret, the easier it is to become prey. ✅ The Only Way to Escape No one is immune to "REGRET", but self-control is the key. Always have a clear plan before entering a position. Manage capital instead of overloading orders. Set SL from the beginning, absolutely do not move it. Focus on the quality of orders, not the quantity. And most importantly: Throw the word REGRET out of your Trader dictionary. Trading is a game of discipline. The less regret you have, the more calm you can maintain to survive and win in the long run.
