#TradingMistakes101 All traders make mistakes, but learning from them is key to evolving. One of the most common mistakes is entering a trade without a clear plan: not knowing where to exit if you win or lose. Another typical mistake is getting carried away by emotions—greed leads to over-leveraging and fear leads to closing trades prematurely. It is also common not to use stop loss, which can turn a small loss into a catastrophe. Finally, many ignore risk management: you should never risk more than 1-2% of your capital per trade. Learning this early can save your account.
