#TradingMistakes101 Early on, I chased pumps, over-leveraged, and ignored stop-losses, losing big due to emotional trading. I learned discipline, risk management, and the value of research over hype. A key lesson: never invest more than you can lose. For new traders, start small, use demo accounts to practice, set clear goals, and stick to a strategy. Avoid FOMO—patience beats panic. Study market trends and keep emotions in check. Mistakes are teachers; embrace them to grow. Consistent learning and caution will build a solid trading foundation.
