The 7 Mistakes Every Trader Makes (At Least Once)

1️⃣ Falling in Love with a Trade
When bias replaces objectivity, stops move and logic fades. Adapt — don’t attach.
2️⃣ Confusing Activity with Progress
More trades ≠ more profit. Selectivity beats constant participation.
3️⃣ Oversizing on Conviction
Big size amplifies emotion. Risk management protects clarity.
4️⃣ Ignoring Market Conditions
A strong setup can fail in a weak environment. Trade with the trend, not against it.
5️⃣ Revenge Trading
Urgency after a loss kills discipline. Reset > react.
6️⃣ Cutting Winners Too Early
Relief isn’t profit maximization. Let structured winners develop.
7️⃣ Skipping the Review
No review = repeated mistakes. Journaling builds edge.
Bottom line:
Success isn’t about avoiding every mistake — it’s about recognizing and correcting them faster than the average trader.
