5 Common Mistakes Every New Trader Makes
Every beginner thinks trading is easy — but most fail because they repeat the same mistakes.
If you avoid these, you’re already ahead of 90% of new traders.
Here are the top 5 mistakes:
1. Overtrading – Entering too many trades without clear setups.
2. No Stop-Loss – Hoping the market will reverse instead of protecting capital.
3. Risking Too Much – Putting all money in one trade or using high leverage.
4. Emotional Trading – Trading out of fear, greed, or boredom instead of logic.
5. Ignoring the Plan – Jumping into trades without a clear strategy or rules.
Remember:
Trading isn’t about making money fast.
It’s about protecting yourself from mistakes — and growing slowly but steadily.
