#TradingMistakes101 One of my biggest mistakes when I first started learning to trade was overtrading. I used to think that the more often I entered the market, the greater the profit opportunities. In reality? My account often lost because I entered positions without clear confirmation.

The next mistake was not having a trading plan. I relied too much on my gut feeling, not analysis. In fact, strategies like ICT teach the importance of confluence and discipline in entry models like FVG.

I also once trusted signals from others too much without checking for myself. This is very dangerous, especially if we do not understand the market context or its time frame.

The most important lesson: be patient, wait for a valid setup, and don’t be greedy. Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Every mistake can be the best teacher if we are willing to learn.
