One of the biggest mistakes I made early in my trading journey was not following a clear strategy. I used to jump into trades based on emotions, fear of missing out (FOMO), or random signals from social media. Over time, I learned that a successful trader must stick to a defined plan, use stop-losses, and manage risk properly. Another common mistake is overtrading—entering too many trades without real setups. I’ve also lost money by not adapting my strategy to changing market conditions. Learning from these mistakes has helped me become more disciplined and consistent. Every loss is a lesson if you reflect and improve.
