Learn From These Costly Trading Mistakes
Every trader makes mistakes — the key is learning from them. One of the biggest is ignoring stop-losses, which can turn small losses into major ones. Overleveraging, revenge trading after a loss, and chasing pumps are also common errors. Another is poor risk management — risking too much on a single trade. Some traders jump strategies too fast without proper testing. Lack of a trading journal means lessons are missed. The market doesn’t forgive emotional decisions. But it rewards discipline. If you learn from mistakes, adapt, and refine your process, you’re already ahead of most.
