You have a clear trading strategy, but the results are still not as expected? You may be making common mistakes that many traders – both new and experienced – have encountered. The **#TradingStrategyMistakes** content series will help you identify and correct common errors in the process of building and executing a trading strategy.
⚠️ **1 Not testing the strategy before applying it in real conditions**
* Many people start trading with a strategy they “heard from someone” without back-testing it on historical data.
* **Solution**: Always backtest or test on a demo account before using real capital.
⚠️ **2 Not adhering to the proposed strategy**
* Entering trades randomly due to emotions, FOMO, or overconfidence in personal intuition.
* **Solution**: Keep a trading journal to assess discipline and adjust behavior.
⚠️ **3 Using a strategy that does not match personal style**
* Some people prefer fast trading but try to pursue long-term strategies, or vice versa.
* **Solution**: Understand yourself and choose a strategy that fits your time, personality, and risk tolerance.
⚠️ **4 No accompanying risk management plan**
* No matter how good a strategy is, it is meaningless if you do not set a stop loss and do not determine a reasonable position size.
* **Solution**: Apply the R:R principle and manage capital tightly in every trade.
⚠️ **5 Changing strategies too frequently**
* After just a few losing trades, you hastily abandon the strategy and switch to another method.
* **Solution**: Allow a strategy enough time to be validated through various market situations.
⚠️ **6 Not updating the strategy according to the market**
* The market changes continuously, but strategies become “fixed”.
* **Solution**: Periodically reevaluate the strategy based on different phases, trends, and market volumes.
🎯 **In summary**
There is no perfect strategy, only **a suitable strategy that is executed correctly**. Avoiding basic mistakes brings you closer to becoming a consistently profitable trader.
