#TradingStrategyMistakes

The Cost of Ego and Ignorance in the Markets

Let’s be real — most traders don’t lose because of bad luck. They lose because of bad strategy… or worse, no strategy at all.

The market doesn’t reward effort. It rewards precision, discipline, and adaptation. If you're entering trades based on vibes, random Twitter calls, or revenge after a loss — you're not trading, you're gambling.

Here are the most common trading strategy mistakes that silently drain portfolios:

❌ No Defined Entry or Exit Plan

Jumping in without knowing why, when, or where you’ll exit is suicide. If you can't define your risk, you've already lost.

❌ Overleveraging

Using 20x+ on every trade doesn’t make you bold — it makes you fragile. One move against you, and you're liquidated. Use leverage like a weapon, not a toy.

❌ Ignoring Risk Management

Risking 50% of your capital in one position is not a flex. It’s a countdown to failure. True traders protect their downside first, profits come second.

❌ Chasing the Market

FOMO entries and revenge trades are emotional traps. The market punishes impatience and pays those who wait for the setup.

❌ Sticking to a Broken Plan

If your strategy hasn’t worked in weeks — adapt. The market evolves. So should you. Stubbornness is expensive.

Bottom line? You don’t need more indicators — you need more discipline.

Make your plan. Stick to it. Review it often.

Trading is not about being right all the time — it's about being prepared when the time is right.

Survive first. Profit next. Always.
