#TradingMistakes101: The Five Major Mistakes Traders Make in 2025
Trading in 2025 is not just about making profits; it’s a continuous battle against one’s own mistakes. Here are the latest traps that even experienced traders often fall into:
Lack of a clear trading plan. Trading based on emotions or intuition? That’s your ticket to the 'margin call club.' Always have a strategy and stick to it strictly.
Ignoring risk management. Do not risk more than 2-3% of your account on any single trade, set stop losses, and avoid blindly leveraging without sufficient reason.
Emotional decision-making. Fear and greed are the worst advisors. If you trade emotionally, you will never keep up with the market.
Blindly chasing trends and FOMO mentality. Entering at a high because “everyone is buying” often leads to losses. It’s better to patiently wait for your own entry opportunity.
Insufficient analysis. Don’t rely on others’ advice or “gut feelings.” Always research the market, news, and volatility before placing an order.
Learn from others' mistakes and keep your trading profitable!
