#TradingStrategyMistakes – Common Pitfalls Every Trader Must Avoid

Trading can be rewarding, but even the best strategies fail if key mistakes are made. Here are some common trading strategy errors that traders — especially beginners — must watch out for:

🔻 1. Ignoring Risk Management

Risking too much on a single trade can wipe out your capital. Always use stop-loss orders and limit your exposure per trade to 1–2% of your account.

🔄 2. Overtrading

More trades don’t mean more profit. Overtrading often leads to burnout and unnecessary losses. Stick to quality setups that match your strategy.

📈 3. No Backtesting

📉 4. Chasing the Market

Jumping into trades because of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
