#TradingStrategyMistakes Trading Mistakes That Taught Me the Hard Way

I’ve made plenty of trading mistakes — and each one taught me a tough but valuable lesson.

In the beginning, I chased pumps without doing research, relied on random signals from others, and overtraded out of pure FOMO. I used high leverage without a stop-loss, which led to painful liquidations. I ignored risk management and let emotions take over my decision-making.

I didn’t plan my exits — holding on to losers too long and selling winners too early. Worst of all, I didn’t reflect on my mistakes soon enough, so I kept repeating them.

But that changed.

Now, I track my trades, stick to proven strategies, and stay disciplined no matter what the market does. Every loss became a stepping stone. The goal isn’t to avoid losses — it’s to learn fast and never repeat the same mistake twice.
