#TradingStrategyMistakes Many traders fail not because of poor strategies, but due to common execution mistakes. One major error is ignoring risk management—overleveraging or trading without stop-losses can wipe out accounts quickly. Another mistake is chasing trades driven by FOMO, rather than waiting for clear setups. Lack of discipline—abandoning a proven strategy after a few losses—leads to inconsistency. Overtrading and revenge trading after losses often deepen drawdowns. Many also neglect backtesting, relying on unproven strategies. Emotional trading, poor journal keeping, and ignoring market context (e.g., news, volatility) also hurt performance. Avoiding these mistakes requires patience, planning, and sticking to a tested system with strict rules and emotional control.
