Every pro was once a beginner who blew an account. Avoid the rookie traps with this quick guide to common trading mistakes that cost real money. 🧠📊

🔻 1. Overleveraging

• 50x might feel like power—until it wipes you out in a 1.5% move.

• 🔑 Use leverage wisely. If you’re not a whale, don’t act like one.

🔻 2. No Stop-Loss = Slow Suicide

• Hoping it’ll bounce? Markets don’t care. Protect your capital, not your ego.

• 🔑 SL isn’t fear—it’s discipline.

🔻 3. Revenge Trading

• Just lost a trade? Taking another one instantly won’t heal the pain—it multiplies it.

• 🔑 Reset before re-entry.

🔻 4. Chasing Pumps

• Jumping into green candles = buying bags from whales.

• 🔑 Let FOMO go. Entry > hype.

🔻 5. Ignoring Risk Management

• If you’re risking 50% of your account per trade, you’re not trading—you’re gambling.

• 🔑 1-3% per trade keeps you in the game longer.

🔻 6. Trading Without a Plan

• No TP, no SL, no setup? You’re not trading—you’re guessing.

• 🔑 Plan the trade. Trade the plan.

🔻 7. Emotional Trading

• Fear, greed, anger—these aren’t indicators.

• 🔑 Control your mindset or it’ll control your trades.
