#TradingMistakes101 📉 #TradingMistakes101: Common mistakes every trader should avoid
Starting in trading can be exciting… and dangerous if you don't avoid the most common mistakes. Here are the classic failures that hinder the growth of many traders:
1. ❌ Not having a plan
Entering the market without a strategy is like sailing without a map. Define objectives, entry/exit levels, and risks.
2. 🤯 Letting emotions take over
Fear and greed are a trader's enemies. Impulsive decisions often come at a high cost.
3. 📈 Overtrading
Trading out of boredom or anxiety can destroy your account. Less is more.
4. 🕵️♂️ Not using stop-loss
Protecting yourself from downside is just as important as seeking profits.
5. 📚 Not learning from mistakes
Not documenting your trades and results condemns you to repeat failures.
💡 Tip: keep a trading journal and review your decisions with a cool head.
