Even talented traders can fail — not because of strategy, but because of subtle, avoidable mistakes. At Yung FX Capital Prop Firm, we’ve funded traders from all over the world, and we've seen patterns repeat again and again.
Here are the five most common mistakes that destroy progress — and how to avoid them if you're serious about staying funded and growing your capital.
The fastest way to blow a funded account is to overleverage or ignore drawdown rules. Trading without a stop-loss, risking more than 1-2% per trade, or doubling down on losses is a red flag.
At Yung FX Capital, risk comes first. Trade smart, protect your capital, and you'll last long enough to grow it.
One loss shouldn’t ruin your mindset — but for many traders, it does. Chasing the market out of frustration leads to emotional decisions and bigger losses.
We train traders to treat losses as data, not defeat. Pause. Breathe. Reset. You’ll trade again — smarter and calmer.
Many traders take too many trades in a day, hoping one will “work.” This leads to burnout, drawdown violations, and inconsistent results.
Fewer, high-quality setups always outperform quantity. At Yung FX Capital, we help you master patience and precision.
Trading without a clear plan is like sailing without a compass. If you don’t know your entries, exits, risk rules, and goals, the market will expose you fast.
We teach our traders to build a written plan — and follow it religiously. It’s your map to consistency.
The real battle in trading isn’t with the market — it’s in your mind. Doubt, fear, greed, and overconfidence ruin more traders than strategy ever will.
At Yung FX Capital, we provide psychological coaching and mindset resources to help our traders stay sharp, focused, and emotionally resilient.
