The "trading mistakes strategy" refers to the identification and management of common mistakes that traders make while trading, and how these mistakes affect the effectiveness of a trading strategy. Essentially, it is a strategy to recognize, record, and correct the mistakes that distort the expected outcomes of a trading plan.
The most common mistakes include:
Not having a defined trading plan: Trading without a structured plan means that every trade can be considered a mistake, as discipline and control over the strategy are lost.
Deviating from the plan: Executing trades that do not follow the established rules distorts the statistics and can turn a profitable strategy into a losing one.
Not keeping a record of mistakes: Without a journal or tracking of mistakes, it is difficult to identify patterns that affect performance and improve discipline.
Emotions and impulsive decisions: Fear, greed, or frustration lead to irrational trades, such as overtrading or chasing losses.
Lack of research and market analysis: Trading without understanding the market or relying on gut feelings can result in significant losses.
