Common Mistakes in Trading Strategies

When developing a trading strategy, many traders fall into recurring mistakes that can lead to losses. Here are the most notable ones summarized:

* Lack of a clear plan: Starting to trade without defining goals, entry and exit points, and risk management in advance. This leads to hasty and random decisions.

* Trading based on emotions: Allowing emotions like fear, greed, or anger to influence trading decisions instead of sticking to the established plan.

* Ineffective risk management: Not defining the appropriate trade size or not using stop-loss orders, exposing capital to significant and uncalculated risks.

* Overtrading: Opening too many trades or trading too frequently without clear opportunities, increasing trading commissions and reducing potential profits.

* Not conducting backtesting: Failing to test the effectiveness of the strategy on historical data before applying it in real life, which means entering trades with an unproven strategy.

* Not adapting to changing market conditions: Sticking to a single unchanging strategy even when market conditions (such as volatility or trends) change, making the strategy ineffective.

* Not learning from mistakes: Repeating the same mistakes without reviewing previous trades and analyzing the reasons for success or failure.
