What NOT to Do in Trading

I see the same mistakes again and again, and today — with Bitcoin near $71,400 and gold under $3,900 — they hurt more than usual. Here is what not to do:

❌ Do NOT panic-sell at the lows. Selling into fear locks in the loss. The traders who survive are the ones who planned their exit before they entered.
❌ Do NOT buy just because everyone else is buying. FOMO peaks are where most beginners buy — right before the fall.
❌ Do NOT trade without a stop-loss. One bad trade without protection can wipe out ten good ones.
❌ Do NOT double your size to win back a loss. Revenge trading is emotional, not planned — and it usually makes the loss bigger.
❌ Do NOT put your whole account into one trade. Risk 1-2% per trade, and live to trade another day.

One mistake, explained simply: panic selling. Price drops, fear takes over, and you sell at the worst moment — then price recovers without you. The fix: decide your exit before you enter, write it down, and step away from the screen when emotions run high.

Success does not come in one day. It comes from discipline, patience, risk management and learning every day.
