#TradingMistakes101 TradingMistakes101 📉🧠

Crypto trading can be exciting—but also brutal if you’re unprepared. Here’s a list of common trading mistakes to help you avoid costly errors and trade smarter.

😱 1. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

Jumping into pumps too late often means buying the top.

Hype ≠ value. Just because a token is trending doesn’t mean it's a good trade.

💡 Tip: Stick to your strategy. Don't chase green candles.

😨 2. Panic Selling

Reacting emotionally to red candles can lead to selling bottoms.

Market dips are normal—even healthy.

💡 Tip: Zoom out. Use a stop-loss or have a plan before entering a trade.

🤷‍♂️ 3. No Trading Plan

Entering trades without clear entry/exit targets, stop-loss, or risk management.

💡 Tip: Define your rules in advance: risk/reward, entry zone, take-profit levels.

🧻 4. Overleveraging

Using high leverage (10x, 25x, 50x+) can liquidate you fast.

You’re not “just one trade away” from making it.

💡 Tip: Keep leverage low. Start with 1x–3x if you're new.

🧪 5. Lack of Research

Buying tokens without understanding the fundamentals, tokenomics, or team.

Believing influencers or memes over facts.

💡 Tip: Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research). Read whitepapers, check Etherscan, join Discords/TGs.

🔁 6. Overtrading

Too many trades = too many fees + emotional burnout.

Trying to “make back” losses often leads to more mistakes.

💡 Tip: Quality over quantity. Trade only when you have an edge.

🔍 7. Ignoring Risk Management

Betting too much on a single trade.

Not using stop-losses or diversifying.

💡 Tip: Risk only 1–2% of your capital per trade. Never go all-in.
