#TradingStrategyMistakes

The success of trading does not only depend on choosing a good strategy but also on avoiding the fatal mistakes that many traders, especially beginners, make. Here are the most prominent of these mistakes:

---

❌ 1. Lack of a clear trading plan

Many enter the market randomly without a plan. You should determine:

When to enter the trade

When to exit

How much to risk

And what your profit target is

---

❌ 2. Ignoring capital management

Even the best strategy can fail if you risk a large percentage of your portfolio.

Golden rule: Do not risk more than 1-2% on a single trade.

---

❌ 3. Trading with emotion (fear and greed)

Fear makes you close the trade too early

Greed makes you hold onto it longer than necessary

Discipline is the foundation of success.

---

❌ 4. Changing strategy too quickly

Some traders change their strategy after the first loss. There is no strategy that wins all the time; what matters is continuity and performance improvement.

---

❌ 5. Ignoring impactful news and events

Even if you rely on technical analysis, ignoring major events like interest rate decisions or ETF launches can be a big mistake.

---

❌ 6. Overusing leverage

20x or 50x leverage may seem tempting, but it is a double-edged sword. A 5% loss can wipe out your portfolio.
