#TradingStrategyMistakes

5 most common trading strategy mistakes, often made by both beginners and experienced traders:

1. Lack of a Clear Plan 🧠

Mistake: Entering trades without a predefined strategy, risk management rules, or exit criteria.

Fix: Develop a detailed trading plan that includes entry/exit signals, position sizing, and stop-loss levels.

2. Overtrading 🧑‍🚀

Mistake: Trading too frequently due to FOMO (fear of missing out), revenge trading, or boredom.

Fix: Stick to your strategy’s signals and avoid emotional decision-making.

3. Poor Risk Management 📉

Mistake: Risking too much on a single trade or ignoring stop losses.

Fix: Use consistent position sizing (e.g., risk 1–2% of capital per trade) and always define risk before entering.

4. Ignoring Market Conditions 📊

Mistake: Using the same strategy in all market conditions (trending vs. ranging) without adjustment.

Fix: Adapt your strategy or use different systems for different market environments.

5. No Performance Review 💭

Mistake: Not tracking or reviewing trades to understand what’s working (and what’s not).

Fix: Keep a trading journal to analyze performance, refine your strategy, and avoid repeating mistakes.
