Most common mistakes that fail a crypto challenge (and how to avoid them)
Most fails are execution and risk, not “missing a pattern”. Fix these seven before they cost the account.
The 7 mistakes (and the fix)
1. Risking too much per trade
Raising risk “because of a deadline” pushes you into daily drawdown (5% or 4% by plan). Fix: fixed 0.5–1% risk, no exceptions.
2. Not knowing drawdown details
Balance vs equity? UTC reset? Daily vs static max? Fix: read your MOJA plan rules before trade one; keep both limits visible.
3. Trading to “hit the target”
Chasing 8%, 5% or 10% forces bad setups. Fix: execute the system; the target is a result, not each entry’s reason.
4. Upsizing after a winning streak
One adverse move can erase days of progress. Fix: same plan size whether you are hot or cold.
5. Ignoring minimum trading days
MOJA requires minimum days with at least one trade; total time is unlimited. Fix: spread activity — do not cram the end.
6. No entry checklist
“Looks good” is not a system. Fix: mandatory 3–5 point checklist before every entry.
7. Ignoring news / high volatility
Spot crypto events can burn daily drawdown in minutes. Fix: decide in advance whether to cut size or stand aside.
Common root
Most of these come from time or outcome pressure. Removing them does not guarantee a pass — it removes the most avoidable fails.
