Worst Trading Mistakes I Made When I Started Trading 😭
Hello Binance Family!
Every trader has made painful mistakes – the kind that wipe out accounts and confidence. Here are the worst mistakes I made when I first started trading, and I hope you can learn from them without paying the price I did:
🔥 1) Forcing Trades
When I sat down to trade and couldn’t find any clear A+ setups, I would force random trades just to feel productive. Almost every time, these ended up in losses. Worse, trying to “save” these bad trades led to revenge trading, amplifying my losses further.
🔥 2) Revenge Trading
After taking a loss, I felt horrible. Instead of accepting it calmly, I would jump into another trade to make back the money quickly. That emotional spiral of loss ➔ revenge trade ➔ loss ➔ more revenge trades ended up destroying my account.
🔥 3) Poor Risk Management
I had clear risk management rules. But when I felt extra confident about a trade, I would 2x or even 4x my risk. That overconfidence cost me heavily – a losing trade didn’t just hurt; it wiped out weeks of progress in minutes.
💡 These were my worst mistakes as a day trader. I’ve learned them the hard way – I hope you don’t have to.
