⚠️ 10 Classic Mistakes in Trading (and How to Fix Them)
1. No clear strategy
> ❌ Entering randomly, based on emotion or “intuition”.
✅ Solution: Establish a written strategy (e.g.: scalping, swing, DCA, breakouts…) with entry, exit, and risk management rules.
---
2. Not using stop-loss
> ❌ Letting losses run in hopes of a rebound.
✅ Solution: Always set a technical stop-loss, not an emotional one. Example: just below a major support or a key MA.
---
3. Overtrading
> ❌ Too many positions, mental fatigue, increased fees.
✅ Solution: Choose 1 to 3 quality setups per day/week. Quality > quantity.
---
4. No capital management
> ❌ Risking 20–50% of the portfolio on a single trade.
✅ Solution: Risk a maximum of 1 to 2% per trade. Use a position calculation adapted to volatility (ATR, fixed %, etc.).
---
5. Ignoring trends
> ❌ Buying during a drop (“buy the dip”) without confirmation.
✅ Solution: Trade with the trend, not against it. Confirm via EMA/MACD/RSI or market structure (HH/HL).
---
6. Letting emotion guide you
> ❌ Greed, fear, revenge after a loss (“revenge trading”).
✅ Solution: Automate entries/exits, keep a trading journal, and take breaks after a loss.
---
7. Relying too much on external signals (Twitter, Telegram, YouTube)
> ❌ Copying without understanding, or buying too late.
✅ Solution: Learn to analyze by yourself: support/resistance, technical indicators, volumes, sentiment.
---
8. No backtesting
> ❌ Trading a strategy never tested.
✅ Solution: Conduct a manual backtest or via TradingView on at least 50 past trades.
---
9. Changing strategy too often
> ❌ After 2 losses, giving up everything.
