The 10 Most Common Mistakes of Traders (to Avoid Immediately)

Many traders lose money not because of the market, but because of their own mistakes. One of the most serious is trading without a precise plan, opening positions “randomly” or following instinct. Another common mistake is emotional trading: fear and greed lead to selling too early or holding onto losses for too long. Then there are those who ignore risk, using excessive leverage or forgetting to set a stop-loss.

Overtrading is also dangerous: opening too many trades leads to stress and unnecessary losses. Moreover, blindly relying on automatic signals or copying other traders without understanding the context is risky.

Many also overlook the importance of education: without a good understanding of the market, it’s easy to fall into traps.

Finally, not considering taxes and fees can wipe out profits. To become a solid trader, one needs: discipline, study, risk management, and emotional control.
