📉 Top 3 Trading Strategy Mistakes That Cost You Money

Even good traders lose money — not because their strategy is bad, but because they misuse it. Here are the 3 most common strategy killers:

1️⃣ No Edge

You copied a strategy from YouTube or Twitter… but do you know its win rate? Expected R:R?

A strategy without a real edge is just gambling with structure.

✅ Fix: Backtest. You must know the stats before going live.

2️⃣ Inconsistency

One day you scalp. Next day you swing. Then you follow a signal group.

Jumping between styles makes it impossible to get consistent results.

✅ Fix: Stick to one strategy for at least 20 trades before judging its performance.

3️⃣ Emotional Overrides

You said you’d exit at 2R. But price spikes and greed kicks in — you hold longer, and it reverses.

Strategy only works if you follow it. Otherwise, it’s just wishful thinking.

✅ Fix: Automate exits or write down exact rules and follow them like a checklist.
