#TradingMistakes101

1.. Lack of a Clear Strategy

Many beginners jump into trades based on gut feelings, Twitter hype, or random signals from YouTube. Trading without a plan is like sailing without a compass. You might get lucky once or twice, but in the long run, the market punishes inconsistency. A well-defined strategy—whether it's scalping, swing trading, or position holding—is what separates gamblers from traders.

2. Overleveraging

One of the most dangerous mistakes is overusing leverage. Seeing “10x” or “100x” leverage may be tempting, but it amplifies both profit and risk. Many accounts have been liquidated in seconds due to small market swings. Using leverage without understanding it is financial suicide.
