#TradingMistakes101 One of the most common mistakes in trading is letting emotions take over. Many beginners buy in a panic when they see a coin rising and sell in fear when the price drops. This generates unnecessary losses. It is also a mistake not to use a risk management plan: investing more than you can afford to lose is a recipe for disaster. Another typical mistake is overtrading, entering and exiting the market without a clear strategy. Learning from these mistakes is key to progressing.
