01The short answer
ANSWERMost traders lose because they risk too much per trade, trade without a tested plan, and let emotions like FOMO and revenge decide their entries. A strategy only works if the risk and the discipline around it are right.
02Key points
- Oversized risk turns a normal losing streak into a blown account.
- No backtest means no proof the strategy has an edge.
- Emotional trades break the rules that made the plan work.
