Emotional Mistakes
Overtrading: Entering too many trades in a short period due to excitement or FOMO.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Jumping into a trade just because the price is moving fast, without analysis.
Revenge Trading: Trying to “win back” losses by taking impulsive trades.
Ignoring Your Plan: Letting emotions override your trading rules.
2. Risk Management Mistakes
No Stop-Loss: Not setting a stop-loss, risking bigger losses than intended.
Risking Too Much: Placing trades that could wipe out a large portion of your account.
Ignoring Position Sizing: Not adjusting trade size according to account size or volatility.
Overleveraging: Using excessive leverage that can quickly lead to liquidation.
