Most traders don’t fail because of the market — they fail because of self-sabotage.
Here’s what to avoid if you want to survive (and thrive):
⸻
1. Trading without a stop-loss. 🚨
Hope isn’t a strategy.
Solution: Always define your maximum loss before you enter the trade.
2. Revenge trading after a loss. 🔥
One bad trade often leads to five more impulsive ones.
Solution: Walk away. Reset your mindset before trading again.
3. Ignoring the trend. 🌀
Fighting the market is like swimming against a tsunami.
Solution: Trade with the trend, not against it.
4. Overleveraging. 🎲
Sure, leverage can boost gains — but it also multiplies mistakes.
Solution: Use small leverage and size your positions wisely.
5. Thinking more trades = more profits. 🎯
Overtrading drains your capital and your emotions.
Solution: Be patient. Quality > Quantity.
⸻
Avoid these mistakes and you’ll already be ahead of most traders.
Discipline > Strategy every time.
