⚠️ Top Trading Strategy Mistakes to Avoid ⚠️

(These errors can kill your profits—even with a good strategy!)

---

❌ 1. No Risk Management

Mistake: Trading without stop-loss or risking too much per trade

Fix: Never risk more than 1–2% of your capital per trade. Use stop-loss every time.

---

❌ 2. Overtrading

Mistake: Taking too many trades daily or forcing trades in low-volume markets

Fix: Focus on quality setups, not quantity. Less is more.

---

❌ 3. Revenge Trading

Mistake: Chasing losses emotionally after a bad trade

Fix: Take a break. Review your plan. Never trade angry.

---

❌ 4. No Clear Trading Plan

Mistake: Entering trades without defined entry, stop loss, or target

Fix: Have a written plan: strategy + risk + emotion control

---

❌ 5. Ignoring Market Conditions

Mistake: Using the same strategy in trending, ranging, and volatile markets

Fix: Adapt your strategy to market type (trend, chop, news-driven)

---

❌ 6. Too Much Leverage

Mistake: Using high leverage (e.g., 50x, 100x) without understanding risk

Fix: Stick to low leverage (2x–5x) or no leverage until you’re consistent

---

❌ 7. Jumping Between Strategies

Mistake: Switching systems after every loss

Fix: Stick to one strategy. Backtest, paper trade, and stay consistent

---

❌ 8. No Trading Journal

Mistake: Not tracking your wins/losses or analyzing trades

Fix: Keep a trading journal with entries, exits, reasons, and emotions

---

❌ 9. Trading During High News Volatility

Mistake: Trading during FOMC, CPI, or major crypto news blindly

Fix: Wait for volatility to settle or reduce position size drastically

---

❌ 10. Following Random Social Media Tips

Mistake: Blindly copying trades from Twitter, Telegram, YouTube

Fix: Learn to do your own analysis. Influencers don’t refund losses.

✅ Golden Rule:

> “Protecting your capital is more important than chasing big wins.”
