Let’s be real—we’ve all made dumb mistakes while trading. One of my biggest was not setting a stop-loss. I entered a trade based on hype, the market reversed, and I watched my capital melt. I’ve also overleveraged in futures thinking I’d double my money quickly—spoiler: I got liquidated. Mistakes like FOMO, emotional trading, chasing pumps, and ignoring market trends taught me that discipline > excitement. Now I journal all my trades and stick to a clear plan. The best traders are not perfect—they just learn fast from every mistake.
