#TradingStrategyMistakes That Kill Your Gains 📉

Even with a solid strategy, small mistakes can wreck your results. Here are 5 common strategy pitfalls every trader should avoid:

❌ 1. No Backtesting

If you haven’t tested your strategy over historical data — you’re trading blind.

❌ 2. Over-Optimization

Tweaking your strategy too much = curve fitting. Real markets aren’t perfect.

❌ 3. Ignoring Risk/Reward

A 70% win rate means nothing if your losses are 2x your wins. Always calculate RR.

❌ 4. Trading Every Signal

Not every signal is worth taking — learn to filter using confluence and volume.

❌ 5. Abandoning Strategy Mid-Trade

Emotions ≠ exit strategy. Follow your rules or you’re just gambling.

📌 Pro Tip: Journaling trades will show you which of these mistakes you make the most.
