โ Top Trading Strategy Mistakes to Avoid
---
1. ๐ซ No Clear Plan (Just Guessing)
Mistake: Trading based on feelings, tips, or news without a solid strategy.
Fix: Always have a defined entry, exit, stop loss, and risk per trade. Write it down.
---
2. ๐ฒ Overtrading
Mistake: Taking too many trades, especially during sideways or unclear markets.
Fix: Be selective. Only trade high-probability setups that align with your strategy.
---
3. ๐ฅ No Risk Management
Mistake: Risking too much on a single trade (e.g., 20โ50% of capital).
Fix: Follow the 2% rule โ never risk more than 1โ2% of your capital per trade.
---
4. ๐ No Stop-Loss or Ignoring It
Mistake: Not setting a stop-loss or moving it further after losses.
Fix: Set stop-loss before entering the trade. Accept small losses to survive big ones.
---
5. ๐ Chasing Green Candles (FOMO)
Mistake: Entering late when a coin pumps and expecting more.
Fix: Wait for pullbacks and confirmations. Let the trade come to you.
---
6. ๐ No Exit Plan / Holding Losers Too Long
Mistake: Not knowing when to take profit or exit a bad trade.
Fix: Predefine target levels, and take profits in parts (e.g., 50%, then trail stop).
---
7. ๐ Constantly Changing Strategies
Mistake: Abandoning your strategy after 1โ2 losses and jumping to another.
Fix: Backtest your strategy, stick to it long enough, and track your performance.
---
8. ๐ต Emotion-Based Decisions
Mistake: Trading out of fear, revenge, or overconfidence.
Fix: Use a checklist, trade journal, or even automate part of your strategy to reduce emotions.
---
9. ๐ Ignoring Market Conditions
Mistake: Using trend strategies in sideways markets or scalping in low volume hours.
Fix: Adapt strategies to market types: trend, range, or news-based volatility.
---
10. ๐งฎ Not Reviewing Your Trades
Mistake: No log or tracking, so mistakes are repeated.
Fix: Maintain a trade journal: note your entries, exits, reasons, emotions, results.
