#TradingMistakes101

Biggest trading mistake was chasing hype without due diligence. I jumped into a trending stock driven by social media buzz, ignoring fundamentals and proper risk management. The stock spiked briefly, then crashed—wiping out weeks of gains in minutes. I learned that emotion is the enemy of reason in markets. FOMO clouds judgment, and ignoring stop-losses only magnifies damage. That loss was humbling, but it became my best teacher. Now, I rely on research, discipline, and a plan. Every mistake in trading is tuition—painful, yes, but necessary for long-term growth and mastery of the craft.
