A mistake I made at the beginning of my trading journey was blindly following influencers without doing my own analysis. I was driven by FOMO, buying at highs and selling in panic. I also underestimated the importance of position size. I thought that the more money I risked, the faster I would earn, but I only accelerated my losses. I learned that it is vital to study, practice with demo accounts, and develop my own strategy. No one becomes profitable by copying others without understanding the reason behind each trade.
