#TradingMistakes101

One of my biggest beginner mistakes?

📉 Impulsive entries with tight stop-losses.

I’d see a setup, FOMO in without waiting for confirmation, and set a tight stop that almost always got hit — even if the trade later went my direction.

The result?

Small, frequent losses that added up fast.

Worse? I wasn’t learning — I was reacting.

🛠 What changed:

• I started journaling every trade

• I stopped forcing trades — waiting for my setup to fully form

• I gave my trades more breathing room based on volatility, not fear

• I accepted that missing a trade is better than forcing a bad one

💡 Best advice for beginners:

Be patient. Risk management is more important than being right.

Let the trade come to you — not the other way around.
