Dear New Traders: 3 Trading Mistakes That Can Kill Your Profits đš
Starting your trading journey is exciting, but the market is ruthless to those who make simple, avoidable errors. Before you place your next trade, read this.
Here are the 3 most commonâand costlyâmistakes that drain new traders' accounts:
1. Overleveraging: The Silent Account Killer đ„
You see a small move and think, "10x leverage will make it a big win!" What you don't see is that the same 10x leverage will magnify a 2% drop against you into a 20% loss, triggering a liquidation. Greed is not a strategy.
The Fix: Start with low leverage (1x-3x). Preserve your capital. Survive to trade another day.
2. Trading Without a Stop-Loss (SL) đŻ**
"Hoping" the market will turn around is not a risk management technique. A single bad trade without a stop-loss can wipe out weeks of careful profits. Emotional hope has no place in a trading plan.
The Fix: ALWAYS use a stop-loss. Define your risk before you enter the trade. No exceptions.
3. FOMO Trading (Fear Of Missing Out) đ±
Chasing a green pump 50% up because you're afraid the train is leaving the station is a guaranteed way to buy the top. The market will always present new opportunities. Lost opportunities are better than lost capital.
The Fix: Have a plan. If you miss an entry, wait for a retracement or simply wait for the next setup. Patience is profitable.
The Bottom Line: Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Master risk management first, and the profits will follow.
