Why do even professional traders still fail? When experience becomes a trap.


In trading, there is a paradox where newcomers lose money due to a lack of knowledge, while professionals lose money due to overconfidence. Sometimes, what you know is exactly what causes you to lose your entire account.
🔸 The trap of rigid thinking.
You use logic from 2017 or 2021 to evaluate the market in 2025.
You regard Memecoins as trash, currently shorting new trends.
The result is that the market crushes old prejudices. The flow of money is always right; only your analysis is outdated.
🔸 The comfort that kills.
I have seen this pattern 100 times, it will pop up. This sentence marks the beginning of the end.
Experience has led you to buy at the bottom by trusting in past support levels and ignoring current selling pressure.
History rhymes, but it never repeats itself exactly.
🔹 Keep a beginner's mindset.
Experience is an asset if it helps manage risk.
It becomes a burden if it closes your mind to the new.
Trade like a veteran, but learn like a beginner.
Have you ever missed out on a major growth spurt simply because your experience told you it was a bubble?
