#TradingMistakes101

When I started trading, I believed success was all about finding the “perfect” strategy. I quickly learned that psychology and risk management matter just as much—if not more. One of my biggest mistakes was overtrading and chasing losses. I let emotions like fear and greed dictate my decisions, and it cost me.

What I’ve learned is that discipline beats excitement. Sticking to a plan, using stop-losses, and knowing when *not* to trade are crucial.

To new traders: focus on protecting your capital, not making fast profits. Learn from every mistake. The market is a tough teacher!
