#TradingStrategyMistakes | Strategies don't fail… what fails is how we apply them. ⚠️📉
In the crypto world, having a strategy is essential. But following it with discipline is even more important. Many traders fail not because they choose poorly… but because they make avoidable mistakes.

🧠 The most common mistakes:
1. Entering without a real plan
📌 Buying just for "sentiment", FOMO, or because you saw it on social media.
💡 Solution: Have clear rules for entry, exit, and risk before opening a trade.
2. Not using stop-loss
📉 Waiting for the price to "recover" can empty your wallet.
💡 Solution: Protect every trade with a logical stop.
3. Modifying the plan in the middle of the trade
🎭 Changing your target out of fear or euphoria damages consistency.
💡 Solution: Trust your analysis and act with discipline, not emotions.
4. Over-leveraging without experience
⚡ Multiplying risk does not multiply your skill.
💡 Solution: If you use futures, start with low leverage (x2 or x3).
5. Ignoring the market context
🌪️ Using trend strategies in ranges or vice versa causes frustration.
💡 Solution: Adapt your strategy to the environment: trend, sideways, or high volatility.
6. Not keeping a record of your trades
📖 Without data, there is no improvement.
💡 Solution: Use a trading journal and analyze your mistakes (and successes).
