#TradingMistakes101 #TradingMistakes101 — The Mistakes No One Talks About

Everyone warns you about FOMO and overtrading. But what about the less obvious traps?

1. Trying Too Hard to “Trade Like a Pro”

You’re not them. You don’t have their capital, emotions, or lifestyle. Copying someone else’s edge without context is a shortcut to burnout.

2. Being Too Risk-Averse

Sometimes "playing it safe" is just fear in disguise. The goal isn’t to avoid risk—it’s to understand and manage it.

3. Seeking Certainty in a Probabilistic Game

Waiting for everything to line up perfectly? You’ll always be late. The best trades often feel uncomfortable.

4. Overconsuming Content

Reading every thread, watching every video? That’s information addiction, not education. Learn. Apply. Reflect. Repeat.

5. Ignoring the Inner Game

Your mindset, self-talk, and beliefs about money matter more than any indicator. You trade what you are, not just what you know.

Not every mistake is a setback. Some are just stepping stones in disguise.
