TOP-5 Trader Mistakes That Are Costly
Even the best strategy won't save you from losses if you make basic mistakes. Here are the main traps that traders fall into:
1️⃣ Lack of a Clear Plan
Trading "by gut feeling" is a direct path to losses. A strategy without rules is not a strategy.
2️⃣ Ignoring Risk Management
🔻 Trading without stop-losses is like jumping without a parachute.
🔺 Excessive lot size is a road to liquidation.
3️⃣ Changing Strategy After the First Loss
Every strategy has both profitable and losing periods. Stay disciplined.
4️⃣ Overtrading
More trades ≠ more profit. Often, it's the opposite.
5️⃣ Chasing Trends and FOMO
"Everyone is buying — so will I!" is the fastest way to enter at the peak and exit at the bottom.
💡 Lesson: Profitable trading is 30% strategy and 70% discipline and psychology.
