#TradingMistakes101
Entering Without a Plan
If you don’t know your entry, exit, and stoploss before a trade — you’re gambling, not trading.
Solution: Define a trading plan and stick to it.
2. Chasing Green Candles
FOMO buying at the top is one of the fastest ways to lose.
Solution: Wait for pullbacks or clear setups — not emotion.#
3. No Risk Management
Risking your whole capital on one trade can wipe you out.#
Solution: Use position sizing. Risk only 1–2% of your total capital per trade.
4. Overtrading#
More trades ≠ more profit. It often leads to emotional burnout and losses.
Solution: Trade quality, not quantity.
5. Ignoring Stoplosses
Hoping for a bounce after a dump? That’s not a strategy.#
Solution: Respect your stoploss. Every time.
6. Getting Influenced by Social Media
Random tips from influencers or groups can ruin your logic.
Solution: Learn your own analysis. Filter noise.
7. Revenge Trading
Lost a trade? Don’t try to win it back instantly.
Solution: Take a break. Come back with a clear head.
My Rule:
Before every trade, I ask: “What’s the worst-case scenario here?”
If I’m not okay with that answer — I don’t enter.
In trading, defense matters more than offense.
