🔥 Trading Mistakes 101: Top Pitfalls Every Trader Should Avoid

1. Lack of a Trading Plan

Jumping into trades without a strategy.

Not setting entry/exit points or stop-losses.

🎯 Fix: Build and stick to a well-defined plan.

2. Overtrading

Trading too frequently or with too much leverage.

Often caused by greed or boredom.

⚠️ Fix: Trade quality, not quantity.

3. Ignoring Risk Management

Risking more than 1-2% per trade.

Not diversifying.

🔐 Fix: Use stop-losses, proper position sizing.

4. Revenge Trading

Trying to “win back” losses emotionally.

Leads to impulsive decisions.

🧠 Fix: Take a break, analyze, and reset.

5. Chasing FOMO

Buying at the top because “everyone’s doing it.”

Driven by news, hype, or influencers.

🚫 Fix: Stick to your strategy, not the crowd.

6. Not Keeping a Trading Journal

No record of past mistakes = no improvement.

📝 Fix: Track every trade, review monthly.

Fear, greed, and anxiety cloud judgment.

🤖 Fix: Use checklists and automation where possible.

Using the same strategy in all markets (bull, bear, sideways).

9. Neglecting Education

Trading without understanding technicals or fundamentals.

📚 Fix: Continuous learning is essential.

10. Blindly Following Signals or “Gurus”
