#TradingStrategyMistakes 🧠 Are You Making a "Trading Strategy Mistake"? The Worst Enemy of Your Portfolio 📉⚠️

One of the most insidious causes of losses and frustration in the market: the mistake in the trading strategy. It's not just about a trade that went wrong; it's a fundamental failure that undermines your long-term profitability.

Beyond the Loss: Understanding the Strategic Error

A mistake in the trading strategy occurs when you deviate from your own predefined and tested trading plan, or when your underlying methodology is inherently flawed. It's not that the market didn't cooperate; it's that you didn't cooperate with your own system.

Common manifestations of this error:

* Ignoring Entry/Exit Criteria: Entering a trade that does not meet all your rules, or exiting prematurely/late due to impulses.

* Poor or Absent Risk Management: Not using stop losses, moving them irrationally, or risking an excessive percentage of capital.

* Overtrading: Trading out of boredom or the need to "do something," without your strategy presenting a clear signal.

* Revenge or Overconfidence: Trading emotionally after a loss (trying to recover) or after a gain (thinking you are invincible).

These errors often have a deep psychological root, fueled by fear, greed, impatience, or FOMO. The most dangerous part is that sometimes a "mistake" gives you a short-term gain, reinforcing a bad habit. True profitability lies in the disciplined consistency of executing a strategy with a demonstrable "statistical edge." Identifying and eliminating these "mistakes" is the first step toward mastery in trading.
