Most beginners believe accounts are destroyed by one big mistake. In reality, accounts are usually destroyed by small mistakes repeated daily. These mistakes feel harmless at first, but over time they quietly drain capital and confidence.
Mistake 1: Trading without a clear plan
Entering a trade without knowing why you entered, when you will exit, and how much you can lose is not trading, it is guessing.
When price moves against you, hesitation replaces logic, and losses grow unnecessarily.
Mistake 2: Risking too much on a single trade
Many beginners risk a large portion of their balance to “make it worth it.”
This creates pressure. One wrong move turns learning into damage, and recovery becomes difficult.
Mistake 3: Letting emotions control decisions
Fear causes early exits. Greed causes late entries.
Both lead to the same result: inconsistent decisions and avoidable losses.
The market does not react to emotions, but it exposes them.
What beginners should understand
Consistency matters more than confidence
Small losses are part of learning; large losses are not
Discipline protects accounts better than predictions
Takeaway
Accounts are rarely destroyed in one day.
They are destroyed slowly by ignoring structure, risk, and emotional control.
Fixing small habits early can save months, or years, of frustration.
