❌ Classic mistakes of the novice trader
1️⃣ Do not use STOP LOSS
Error #1.
They think: “the price is going to come back”… and it doesn’t come back.
• A trade without a stop is not a trade, it's a gamble.
• The market can always go further than you imagine.
📌 Rule: enter knowing how much you are willing to lose.
⸻
2️⃣ Using too much leverage
• 20x – 50x – 100x = quick liquidation.
• The price doesn't need to go against you, just breathe.
📌 To start:
1x – 5x maximum until mastering risk management.
⸻
3️⃣ Entering due to FOMO
Buy:
• in giant green candles
• after seeing “🚀🚀” on social media
That's liquidity for whales, not an opportunity.
📌 Money is made in boredom, not in euphoria.
⸻
4️⃣ Do not have a plan before entering
Many enter and then ask:
Where do I exit? Where do I place the stop?
📌 A professional trade has 3 things BEFORE entering:
• Entry point
• Stop loss
• Take profit
⸻
5️⃣ Move the stop loss
• “I give it a little more…”
• “Just a few points…”
That turns a small loss into a large loss.
📌 The stop is not negotiable, it is respected.
⸻
6️⃣ Overtrading
• Trading out of boredom
• Trading to recover losses
📌 Fewer trades = better quality
The market always gives another opportunity.
⸻
7️⃣ Believing that all candles are opportunities
Not every movement is tradable.
• Sideways market = traps
• High volatility without structure = stop hunting
📌 Sometimes the best trade is not to enter.
⸻
8️⃣ Not understanding the larger trend
Short in a strong bullish trend
or long in free fall.
📌 Golden rule:
Trade in favor of the larger timeframe
⸻
9️⃣ Risking too much per trade
• Betting 20–50% of capital on a single entry
• “This trade is safe…”
📌 Professional rule:
• Risk per trade: 1% – 2% of capital
⸻
🔟 Not accepting losses
Novices want to win all the time.
Professionals know that:
Losing is part of the game
📌 The key is to lose little and win when it counts.
