📊 5 Trading Mistakes That Are Costing You Money (And How to Fix Them)
Most traders don't lose because of bad luck.
They lose because of bad habits.🔴
Here are 5 mistakes I see every day — and how to fix them:
1. 🚫 Trading Without a Plan
Entering a trade without a clear entry, exit, and stop-loss is gambling — not trading.
✅ Fix: Write your plan before you click "Buy."
2. 📉 Ignoring Risk Management
Risking 50% of your portfolio on one trade isn't confidence — it's recklessness.
✅ Fix: Never risk more than 1–2% of your capital per trade.
3. 😤 Revenge Trading After a Loss
Lost a trade? Taking another impulsive trade to "win it back" almost always makes it worse.
✅ Fix: Step away. Come back with a clear head.
4. 📰 Chasing FOMO Pumps
By the time it's trending on social media, you're usually buying the top.
✅ Fix: Let the trade come to you. Patience is an edge.
5. 📊 Overleveraging
High leverage = high reward AND high risk. One bad move can wipe your account.
✅ Fix: Start with low leverage (2x–5x max) until you're consistently profitable.
