Trading Mistakes 101

Every trader, especially beginners, makes mistakes—but learning from them is key. One common error is trading without a plan. Entering the market without clear goals, risk limits, or strategy often leads to emotional decisions. Another major mistake is overtrading, driven by greed or impatience. Ignoring risk management—like not using stop-loss orders—can turn small losses into big ones. Many also follow hype blindly, buying assets because others are doing so, without proper research. Lastly, failing to keep emotions in check—like fear during dips or FOMO during rallies—can destroy consistency. Successful trading requires discipline, patience, and constant learning. Avoiding these basic mistakes can protect your capital and help you grow as a trader.
