Most traders don’t fail because they lack technical skills or can’t read a chart.
They fail because they ignore the real enemy — their own psychology and poor risk management habits.
Trading is not about chasing perfect setups.It’s about controlling the mistakes that kill your capital before it has a chance to grow.
i will share for you on the next posts the most damaging trading mistakes, and how you can avoid them starting today:
1. Overtrading: The Silent Portfolio Killer 🎯
You don’t need 10 trades a day to be profitable.
But many traders behave like they do — and that’s where the losses begin.
Why it happens:
The urge to “do something” in the market
Revenge trading after a loss
Overconfidence after a win streak
How to avoid it:
✅ Set a daily or weekly trade limit
✅ Only trade setups that match your strategy 100%
✅ Train yourself to be comfortable doing nothing when no edge exists
2. Risking Too Much on One Trade.💣
This is how accounts blow up in one day.
No matter how good a setup looks, if you go all-in and it fails, you’re out — financially and mentally.
How to avoid it:
✅ Risk 1–2% max per trade
✅ Position size should always reflect your stop-loss distance
✅ Play the long game — trading is about probabilities, not certainty.
