#how to Suck at Trading: The Ultimate Guide to Losing Money Faster
🎯 Introduction: Stop Trading Like You’re at a Casino 🎯
Let’s be real: 99% of traders fail because they ignore basic rules and act like they’ve cracked the Wall Street code after watching The Wolf of Wall Street one too many times. So, if you want to jump on the failure train, here’s a solid recipe for disaster. For those who think you’re immune? Buckle up – these truths might sting harder than your last margin call.
1️⃣ Short Bases: Because “Patience” is for Losers, Right?
Want to trade bases that last one to four weeks? Congratulations, you just bought yourself a one-way ticket to Failed Trade City 🏆. Short bases scream, “I have no foundation, but YOLO!” Bases take time – just like your ex did when they said, “I need space.” Stop rushing, or you’ll get dumped by the market too.
2️⃣ Wide, Wild Patterns: The Rollercoaster You Didn’t Want 🎢
Patterns that look looser than your gym sweatpants? Yeah, that’s not a trade – it’s a wild gamble. Buying into erratic, wide patterns means you’re telling the market:
> “I enjoy chaos. Please take my money.”
Instead, find tight patterns with controlled moves. Think elegance, not spaghetti charts.
3️⃣ Vertical Rockets: To the Moon… and Back to Earth 🔥
We get it – seeing a stock shoot straight up gives you goosebumps. It’s the market saying, “This is your moment!” Guess what? It’s not. Stocks that fly straight up usually crash straight down, faster than your hopes during a bad Tinder date. 🚀💔
Pullbacks? Those are healthy. Handle formations? Even better. But stocks that go vertical without breathing? Red flag alert.
4️⃣ Breakouts Without Volume: A “Breakout” or Just a Joke?
Imagine running a party, and nobody shows up. That’s what a breakout without volume looks like. Pathetic. Sad. Useless. 🙄
Volume is your guest list – no volume, no momentum, and no conviction. Buying a volume-less breakout is like shouting into the void:
> “Please make me rich!”
The market? It just laughs and takes your cash.
5️⃣ Laggard Stocks: Last Place for a Reason 🥇
Ah, the laggards – the last stock to breakout in a group. Here’s the truth: it’s weak. If it were a kid at school, it’d be the one who gets picked last for dodgeball. Don’t throw your money at laggards and expect miracles. Winners win because they lead, not because they come crawling in after the party’s over.
6️⃣ Wide Handles: Loose is Not the Vibe, Bro 🍃
Handles that are down 20%-30% or look like drunken scribbles? Nope. Healthy handles drift downwards slightly – it’s like a stock taking a quick breath before running again. Wide and loose handles scream instability. Buying them is like trying to hold water with a leaky bucket. Good luck with that.
7️⃣ Fourth Stage Bases: If Everyone Sees It, It’s Worthless 📉
Here’s the harsh truth: Fourth-stage bases are the obvious kid in class who knows all the answers – until they don’t. When a stock has already climbed for months, forming a base, it’s screaming:
> “I’m tired. Let me rest. Or die.”
If you think you’re smarter than everyone else and buy into these “obvious” bases, you’re basically handing over your wallet to the big guys.
Risk Management? Oh, You Forgot That, Too? 💀
If you’re trading without a plan, then congratulations – you’re playing blindfolded darts with your life savings. 🎯 A proper plan outlines:
Where and why you enter trades.
Where and why you exit trades (stop loss? What’s that? 🤦).
How you control risk: position sizes, loss limits, and max exposure.
Ignoring risk management is like skydiving without a parachute. You’ll look cool for about 3 seconds. Then… splat.
🎭 Trading “Wisely” (or “Wildly”) – The Verdict 🎭If you love:
✅ Chasing vertical moves
✅ Buying laggards like they’re golden tickets
✅ Playing breakouts with no volume
✅ Ignoring risk like a total legend
Then congratulations! You’ve found the ultimate way to blow up your account faster than FTX’s collapse.
But if you want to survive in the markets, here’s the bitter pill:
Respect volume.
Avoid sloppy patterns.
Focus on strong bases and healthy pullbacks.
Manage your risk like your life depends on it – because it does.
Final Note: The Market Is Not Your Friend 😈
The market doesn’t care about your dreams, your hopes, or your “gut feeling.” Treat it with respect, trade intelligently, and for the love of all things green and red – stop acting like it owes you a profit.
TL;DR?
Stop being the guy who YOLOs trades. Be the guy who survives long enough to actually make money. If not? Don’t worry. Your broker will send you a thank-you card. 💌
Share this with your fellow traders who need this slap of truth. Your wallet will thank you later. 💸
