#TradingStrategyMistakes – Top 5 Trading Mistakes that Kill Your Deposit** 💸🔥
Trading is not a casino, but many trade as if they are playing roulette. Analyzing the **main mistakes** that even experienced traders make.
## **❌ 1. Lack of a Plan and Discipline**
**Error:** Entering a trade "on emotions", without clear rules.
**Consequences:** Chaotic trades, FOMO (fear of missing out on profits), revenge trading (taking revenge on the market).
**How to Fix?**
✅ **Trading Plan:** Clear conditions for entry/exit, risk per trade (1-2% of the deposit).
✅ **Trader's Diary:** Record all trades and analyze mistakes.
## **❌ 2. Ignoring Risk Management**
**Error:** Putting the entire deposit into one trade or not using a stop-loss.
**Consequences:** One unsuccessful entry – and the deposit is wiped out.
**How to Fix?**
✅ **Rule 1-2%:** Risk no more than 1-2% of capital per trade.
✅ **Stop-loss – a must!** Even if "it seems like it will turn around soon".
## **❌ 3. Trading Against the Trend**
**Error:** Trying to catch the bottom or top without confirmation.
**Consequences:** Losses grow while the trend continues.
**How to Fix?**
✅ **Trend is Your Friend:** It's better to enter late but in the direction of the trend.
✅ **Use Indicators:** MA, ADX, MACD for trend confirmation.
## **❌ 4. Too Frequent Trades (Overtrading)**
**Error:** The desire to trade "anything", even if the market is sideways.
**Consequences:** Commissions eat into profits, fatigue, poor-quality trades.
**How to Fix?**
✅ **Quality > Quantity:** Better to have 1-2 strong trades a day than 10 random ones.
✅ **Filter Signals:** Don't trade if there's no clear pattern.
## **❌ 5. Inadequate Expectations (dreams of making a million in a week)**
**Error:** Believing that you can turn $100 into $10,000 in a month.
**Consequences:** Using a huge leverage → instant loss.
**How to Fix?**
✅ **Real Returns:** A good result is 5-20% per month.
✅ **Gradual Growth:** Increase your deposit through profits, not through loans.
### **💡 Conclusion:**
Trading is a **marathon, not a sprint**. Most lose due to simple mistakes, not complex strategies.
**📌 Check Yourself:**
- Are you trading by plan or on emotions?
- How much % of your deposit are you risking per trade?
- Are you waiting for a good signal or entering "just in case"?
