#TradingStrategyMistakes Here’s What I Did Wrong (So You Don’t Have To)
When I first started trading, I thought indicators were the holy grail. I overloaded my charts with RSI, MACD, EMA, Fibonacci — and still got in late, exited wrong, and got chopped to pieces.
My biggest mistake?
❌ No backtesting
❌ No journal
❌ No real plan
I chased Twitter signals, skipped risk management, and basically gambled — hoping for wins without a strategy.
What turned it around:
✅ I started treating trading like a business
✅ I tracked every trade — entry, exit, reasoning, outcome
✅ I stuck to one setup until I truly mastered it
Now I’m consistent. Not a millionaire, not perfect — but finally in control.
🔹 The takeaway:
A bad trade teaches more than a lucky win. What’s your worst trading moment? Drop it below — someone out there needs your honesty.
