#TradingStrategyMistakes

Top Trading Strategy Mistakes

1. Lack of a Clear Strategy

Mistake: Trading based on emotions, rumors, or random tips.

Solution: Define your strategy clearly: entry/exit points, stop-loss, risk-reward ratio, and trade size.

2. Overtrading

Mistake: Taking too many trades due to boredom, excitement, or revenge trading.

Solution: Stick to quality setups only. Fewer high-probability trades beat random frequent ones.

3. Poor Risk Management

Mistake: Risking too much per trade or not using stop-loss.

Solution: Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade. Always use a stop-loss.

4. Chasing the Market (FOMO)

Mistake: Entering trades late after big moves out of fear of missing out.

Solution: Wait for pullbacks or confirmation before entering. Never chase candles.

5. Ignoring Market Conditions

Mistake: Using the same strategy in all market conditions (e.g., trending vs. sideways).

Solution: Adapt strategy to the market — use trend-following in trending markets, range strategies in sideways.
