#MyStrategyEvolution 💎 Overtrading – The Silent Account Killer
Like many traders starting out, I made the classic mistakes—chasing every setup, skipping risk rules, and letting emotions take control. Overtrading without a clear strategy drained my account faster than any bad market move. Revenge trades after losses only made things worse. I didn’t journal, switched strategies too often, and often acted on fear or greed.
What changed? I learned that success requires patience, consistency, and a disciplined approach. Now I follow a proven system and only scale risk once I’ve truly mastered it.
Lessons I’ve Learned the Hard Way:
1. Overtrading – Trading too often without quality setups = disaster.
2. Revenge Trading – Emotional decisions only dig deeper holes.
3. No Stop-Loss – Every trade needs a safety net.
4. Ignoring Risk – One oversized trade can wreck your account.
5. FOMO Entries – Chasing green candles never ends well.
6. Strategy Hopping – Stick with one until you master it.
7. No Trading Plan – If there’s no plan, there’s no edge.
8. Not Journaling – What isn’t tracked can’t be improved.
9. Overleveraging – High leverage = high risk of liquidation.
10. Impatience – Waiting for the right setup is a skill.
