YEARS TRADING. 7 MISTAKES I’LL NEVER REPEAT. 🚫📉
Hey Traders! 👋
After 7 years in the game, I’ve been wrecked, humbled, and rebuilt.
Trading isn’t about being right — it’s about being disciplined.
Here are 7 costly mistakes that nearly destroyed me — and how YOU can avoid them like a pro 🧵👇
1️⃣ No Plan = No Profits 🎯
Trading on vibes? I lost every time.
✅ Always plan your entry, stop loss, and take profit — or don’t trade at all.
🎲 Without a plan, you’re gambling, not trading.
2️⃣ YOLO Risk 💥💸
Risking rent, bills, or savings? The dumbest move I made.
One bad trade and you’re wiped out.
🔒 Golden Rule: Protect your capital first — profits come second.
3️⃣ Greed Kills Gains 😈
“I’ll just hold a little longer…”
Boom — green turns red.
💡 Take profits early. Scale out. Don’t wait for perfection — it rarely shows up.
4️⃣ Trading Emotions = Account Death 😵💫
Revenge trades and FOMO entries cost me five figures.
🧘♂️ If you’re emotional, don’t trade. Step away. Journal. Breathe.
5️⃣ Fast Money Fantasy 🚀💸
Dreaming of $1K days overnight? Reality check: $20 wins build $10K months.
⚠️ Slow, steady growth beats fast regrets every time.
6️⃣ Losses Made Me Quit… Too Soon 💔
One bad week had me ready to quit forever.
📉 But zooming out helped me see the long game. Now I’m stronger than ever.
7️⃣ Blindly Copying “Gurus” 🤡📉
Signals without understanding = disaster.
📚 Learn why a trade works. Understand confluence. Don’t trade what you don’t trust.
