Top Mistakes to Avoid in Trading
1. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
Jumping into a trade just because everyone else is talking about it—usually ends in regret.
2. No Stop-Loss Strategy
Not setting a stop-loss is like driving without brakes. One crash, and you're out.
3. Overtrading
More trades ≠ more profits. It often means more losses due to fees, stress, and bad decisions.
4. Lack of a Trading Plan
Trading without a strategy is gambling. Plan your entry, exit, and risk.
5. Letting Emotions Rule
Fear, greed, and revenge trading are dangerous. Stay disciplined.
6. Ignoring Risk Management
Don’t risk more than you can afford to lose. 1–2% of your capital per trade is a good rule.
7. Chasing Losses
Trying to win back losses immediately often leads to worse decisions.
8. Not Doing Proper Research
Don’t blindly follow influencers, or Twitter traders. DYOR (Do Your Own Research)!
9. Holding Losing Positions Too Long
“It’ll bounce back” is not a strategy. Sometimes it’s smarter to cut losses.
10. Getting Greedy
Not taking profits when you’re in the green can turn winning trades into painful losses.
