🧠 5 Trading Mistakes I Wish Someone Warned Me About

If you're trading crypto — especially as a beginner — here are a few mistakes I personally made (and still see others making all the time). Maybe this helps someone out there:

---

1. Buying Just Because It’s Pumping

I used to think, “It’s going up, I’ll miss out if I don’t buy now.” Big mistake.

Usually, by the time it's trending, early buyers are already selling.

👉 These days, I wait. I’d rather miss a pump than buy the top.

---

2. Trading Without a Stop-Loss

This one hurt the most. I kept thinking, “It’ll come back.” Spoiler: it didn’t.

👉 Now, I always decide my exit before I even enter the trade. Saves me from panic later.

---

3. Going Too Heavy on Leverage

Leverage feels like easy money... until it's not. I blew up a small account thinking I was smart.

👉 If you're using leverage, go slow. 1x or 2x max until you’re consistent.

---

4. Copying Influencers Blindly

I used to jump into coins just because someone on Twitter/X hyped it.

👉 Honestly, most of them just want engagement. Now I use them for ideas, but I always double-check the facts.

---

5. Chasing Every New Coin

I kept jumping between tokens trying to catch “the next big thing.”

👉 I stopped doing that. It’s better to focus on a few good projects and trade them well.

Final Thought:

Most of us learn the hard way. But if you're reading this, maybe you don’t have to. Take your time, manage risk, and don’t let FOMO control your trades.
