#TradingStrategyMistakes I Had to Learn the Hard Way:

1. No Risk Management

I used to enter trades without stop losses. One bad trade could wipe out weeks of gains. Now, risk per trade is strictly defined.

2. Overtrading

More trades ≠ more profits. I chased setups that didn’t meet my criteria. Discipline > activity.

3. Ignoring the Macro Picture

Focusing only on charts without understanding market sentiment led to costly surprises.

4. Changing Strategy Too Often

Jumping from one method to another killed consistency. Now I test, refine, and stick to what aligns with my style.

5. Revenge Trading

Emotional trading after a loss only compounded the damage. Stepping away became part of the strategy.

Every mistake was tuition. Expensive, but necessary.

What’s one trading lesson you learned the hard way?
