🚨7 Years in Trading — 7 Mistakes I’ll Never Repeat 🚫🚨
Hey traders 👋 After 7 years in the markets, I’ve learned the hard way: 👉 It’s not about being right — it’s about being disciplined.
Here are 7 mistakes that cost me big — so you don’t have to repeat them 🧵👇
1️⃣ No Plan = No Chance 🎯 If you enter a trade without a plan, you’re not trading — you’re gambling. ✅ Always set your entry, stop-loss, and target.
2️⃣ Risking Too Much 💥 Never use money you can’t afford to lose. Rent, bills, emergency funds — keep them out of the market. 🔒 Protect your capital first.
3️⃣ Holding Out for More 😈 You’re in profit but don’t take it — and it turns red? That’s greed. 🎯 Take profits. Stay in control.
4️⃣ Trading on Emotions 😵💫 Revenge trades. FOMO. Panic exits. These kill accounts. 🧘♂️ Stay calm, or stay out.
5️⃣ Expecting Fast Money 💸 Success takes time. $20 from a smart trade beats $100 lost on hype. 🚶 Be patient. Trust the process.
6️⃣ Overreacting to Losses 🌧️ One bad trade ≠ failure. But giving up too soon does. 📉 Zoom out. Learn. Keep going.
7️⃣ Copying Others Blindly 👀 Following random signals without knowing why? That’s not strategy. 📚 Learn the logic behind every trade.
Final Tip: 📌 The market rewards discipline — not emotion. Trade smart. Stay consistent. Level up daily.
