#TradingStrategyMistakes – Top 5 trading mistakes that kill your deposit** 💸🔥
Trading is not a casino, but many trade as if they are playing roulette. We analyze the **main mistakes** that even experienced traders make.
## **❌ 1. Lack of plan and discipline**
**Mistake:** Entering a trade "on emotions," without clear rules.
**Consequences:** Chaotic trades, FOMO (fear of missing out on profits), revenge trading (getting back at the market).
**How to fix it?**
✅ **Trading plan:** Clear entry/exit conditions, risk per trade (1-2% of the deposit).
✅ **Trader's diary:** Record all trades and analyze mistakes.
## **❌ 2. Ignoring risk management**
**Mistake:** Betting the entire deposit on one trade or not using a stop-loss.
**Consequences:** One unsuccessful entry – and the deposit is wiped out.
**How to fix it?**
✅ **Rule 1-2%:** Risk no more than 1-2% of your capital per trade.
✅ **Stop-loss – a must!** Even if "it seems like it will turn around soon."
## **❌ 3. Trading against the trend**
**Mistake:** Trying to catch the bottom or the top without confirmation.
**Consequences:** Losses grow while the trend continues.
**How to fix it?**
✅ **Trend is your friend:** Better to enter later, but in the direction of the trend.
✅ **Use indicators:** MA, ADX, MACD to confirm the trend.
## **❌ 4. Too frequent trading (overtrading)**
**Mistake:** The desire to trade "something," even if the market is in a sideways trend.
**Consequences:** Commissions eat into profits, fatigue, poor-quality trades.
**How to fix it?**
✅ **Quality > quantity:** Better 1-2 strong trades a day than 10 random ones.
✅ **Filter signals:** Don't trade if there is no clear pattern.
## **❌ 5. Inadequate expectations (dreams of a million in a week)**
**Mistake:** Believing that you can turn $100 into $10,000 in a month.
**Consequences:** Using huge leverage → instant loss.
**How to fix it?**
✅ **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 people lose due to simple mistakes, not because of complex strategies.
**📌 Check yourself:**
- Are you trading by plan or by emotions?
- What % of your deposit are you risking per trade?
- Are you waiting for a good signal or entering "just in case it works out"?
