#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.
