Every trader must avoid these or you’ll end up just like I did.

1. JUMPING IN AFTER THE PUMP 🚫
One of my biggest mistakes was chasing the market — opening positions when a token had already pumped.
This is one of the most foolish things a trader can do.
_
Why? Because by the time you're jumping in, the whales have already pulled out, and you're just stepping into their liquidity trap.
You become the exit liquidity, like a bait fish hooked at the very end.
Lesson: If it already pumped, don’t FOMO in. Let it go.

2. TRADING WITTHOUT CLARITY & IGNORING THE BIGGER PICTURE 🌍
Another massive mistake: trading without understanding the market — both technically and globally.
There were days I felt totally lost. I didn’t understand the market, but I still traded anyway.
I ignored what was happening outside the charts — and that was a costly decision.
Crypto reacts sharply to world events:
Wars & conflicts
Inflation news
Major economic meetings
Natural disasters
Regulatory changes
Back then, I never cared about news. I thought charts were enough. But charts without context = blind trading.
Lesson: If you don’t understand the market or the world situation — don’t trade. Be aware. Stay sharp.

3. OVERTRADING LIKE A GAMBLER 🎲
This one hurt me the most.
I used to trade daily, thinking every small move was a chance.
I was overtrading out of greed, boredom, and desperation.
Even when I was confused, I kept forcing trades. I didn’t wait for setups — I traded just to trade.
That turned me from a trader into a gambler.
And trust me — gamblers always lose in the long run.
Lesson: Not every day is a trading day. If your mind isn’t clear, sit out.
Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
