#TradingStrategyMistakes to Avoid 💡
Even the best strategy fails if executed poorly. Here are 5 common mistakes traders make:
1️⃣ Over-Optimization (aka Curve Fitting): Tuning your strategy to past data too perfectly = disaster in real markets.
2️⃣ Ignoring Risk Management: No stop-loss? No position sizing? Say hello to your account wipeout.
3️⃣ Strategy Hopping: Constantly switching strategies after a few losses leads nowhere. Stick. Test. Improve.
4️⃣ Not Accounting for Slippage/Fees: That "perfect" backtest ignores real-world frictions. Factor them in.
5️⃣ No Trading Journal: If you're not tracking performance + psychology, you're not learning.
🔁 Master the basics. Avoid the traps. Trade smart.
