#TradingStrategyMistakes

If I could go back in time and warn my past self, these are the mistakes I’d scream about.

Because in trading, it’s not just what you do right — it’s what you must stop doing wrong. 👇

---

❌ MISTAKE 1: No Strategy at All

I used to trade based on: “People are buying it”

“It’s trending”

“It might moon”

But guess what? HYPE is not a strategy.

✅ Fix: I now trade based on market structure, entry zones, and R:R (risk/reward) plans.

---

❌ MISTAKE 2: Over-leveraging on Futures

I was chasing quick profits using x20, x50 leverage…

Until I got liquidated 💸 again and again.

✅ Fix: Now I use max x3–5 leverage + tight stop-loss + proper position sizing.

---

❌ MISTAKE 3: Ignoring Risk Management

I used to go all in on one coin.

No stop-loss. No backup plan.

✅ Fix: Now I never risk more than 1–2% of my portfolio per trade.

---

❌ MISTAKE 4: Emotional Trading

Fear, greed, and revenge trading ruined good setups.

A red candle made me panic. A green candle made me FOMO.

✅ Fix: I stick to my plan. I journal my trades. I don’t marry coins.

---

❌ MISTAKE 5: Copying Without Understanding

I used to follow signals without learning why.

When they lost, I blamed them — not my lack of knowledge.

✅ Fix: I still follow some good traders, but I make sure I understand every move I take.

💡 LESSON:

Discipline beats hype.

A solid, boring strategy can make you rich.

An emotional, exciting one will leave you broke.

If you’ve made these mistakes, it’s OK. We all have.

But the real flex is LEARNING and EVOLVING. 🙏
