#TradingStrategyMistakes Common trading strategy mistakes include overtrading due to emotion or boredom, and risking too much per trade without proper risk management. Many traders lack a clear plan or deviate from it, chasing losses or reacting impulsively to market noise. Ignoring stop-loss rules or using unrealistic profit targets can lead to large drawdowns. Traders often over-optimize strategies based on past data (curve fitting), which fails in live markets. Relying heavily on indicators without understanding market context is another error. Beginners frequently neglect backtesting or use small sample sizes, resulting in unreliable strategies. Failing to adapt strategies to changing market conditions can also be costly. Lastly, not journaling trades or analyzing performance limits learning and growth. Avoiding these mistakes requires discipline, realistic expectations, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Success comes from consistency, not shortcuts or luck.
