Hey traders 👋
After 5 intense years in the markets, I’ve been burned enough to learn what not to do.
👉 It’s not about chasing profits — it’s about protecting your mindset and your capital.
Here are 5 trading mistakes that cost me big — avoid them at all costs 🧵👇
1️⃣ Jumping in Without Research 🕳️
Saw a coin pumping? Bought it blindly?
Been there. Lost money.
✅ Always understand why you’re buying. Hype fades, fundamentals matters.
2️⃣ Ignoring Stop-Losses 🚫
“I’ll just wait, it’ll bounce back…”
Nope. It dumped harder.
🎯 A stop-loss isn’t weakness — it’s risk management.
3️⃣ Trading Every Day 📉
More trades ≠ more profit.
Some days, the best trade is no trade.
🧘♂️ Learn to sit on your hands and wait for real setups.
4️⃣ Letting Wins Get to My Head 😎
One good week and I thought I was a genius…
Then reality hit hard.
⚠️ Stay humble. Markets punish overconfidence.
5️⃣ Following “Others” Blindly Without Thinking 🤖
“Buy now” they said. “Moon soon” they said.
I followed. I bled.

Final Reminder:
📌 Consistency beats hype.
📉 Protect your capital.
🧠 Trade with a plan, not with emotions.
