#TradingStrategyMistakes
Many traders make common mistakes that can ruin even the best trading strategies. Overleveraging in futures increases risk of liquidation during volatile moves. Emotional trading, like chasing losses or fear-based exits, often leads to poor decisions. Ignoring risk management by not using stop-losses or proper position sizing can wipe out capital quickly. Relying solely on one indicator without understanding market context causes false signals. Overtrading, jumping in without clear setups, increases fees and losses. Not adapting strategies to changing market conditions—like using trend strategies in sideways markets—can fail badly. Successful traders avoid these mistakes by following a disciplined plan, analyzing trades, and focusing on consistency over quick profits.
