What happens is a lack of knowledge and education. I have been "studying" trading on my own for 1 year, and practicing on demo accounts and real accounts, applying technical analysis and strategies that, due to the number of operations I have carried out, are a total of approximately 300 operations in 1 year, of which I have lost approximately 50.
Does that mean I'm on the right track? I don't know because although there have been few operations, I have not used stop loss 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️, I don't know why, and therefore those few losses have been very large in the end, approximately $500 in 1 year, and the profits, for fear that the operation will turn around, I close it very quickly 😭😭😭. So the profits have been few.
Anyway, with the fall of the Btc these days, they liquidated 2 longs and I lost almost everything, due to lack of knowledge? lack of analysis? not putting a stop loss? obviously.
I hope to continue operating but now with stop loss and less leverage. I will continue studying everything I can, because although I know that I have lost money in the process, I continue learning from each defeat or victory.
If you can add more capital and increase the liquidation margin, it's better to wait for it to rise. It happened to me yesterday and today, but I don't have more capital, so I accepted my loss and closed.
