❌ Common #TradingStrategyMistakes

1. No Clear Strategy

Jumping into trades based on emotions, news, or Twitter hype without a defined plan.

Fix: Always have a written strategy with entry, exit, stop-loss, and target rules.

⸻

2. Overtrading

Taking too many trades, often in the same day, due to FOMO or revenge trading.

Fix: Quality > Quantity. Stick to 1–3 high-probability setups per day or week.

⸻

3. Ignoring Risk Management

Trading big positions without a stop-loss or risking too much capital on one trade.

Fix: Use the 1-2% rule — never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade.

⸻

4. Moving Stop-Loss Too Soon (or Not at All)

Letting losses run and hoping the market will reverse.

Fix: Set your stop-loss and stick to it. It protects your capital.

⸻

5. No Backtesting or Practice

Using a strategy in live markets without testing it first.

Fix: Backtest your strategy on historical data and practice in a demo account.

⸻

6. Trading Against the Trend

Trying to “catch the bottom” or “short the top.”

Fix: Follow the trend — it’s your best friend. Trend trading is usually safer.

⸻

7. Not Journaling Trades

Forgetting why you took a trade, so you repeat the same mistakes.

Fix: Keep a trade journal — record entry, exit, reason, result, and lesson.

⸻

8. Getting Emotional

Letting fear, greed, or frustration control your decisions.

Fix: Stick to your strategy like a robot. Emotions = enemy of profits.

⸻

🧠 Pro Tip:

Even a perfect strategy can fail if you don’t respect discipline and risk management.

Strategy + Mindset = Success 🧠💹
