Trading is not about prediction, it is about discipline, risk control, and survival.
Most traders fail not because the market is hard โ but because they repeat the same mistakes.
This article focuses on what to AVOID, because avoiding losses automatically improves profits.
1๏ธโฃ Trading Without a Plan (The Silent Killer)
Mistake:
Entering trades randomly based on emotion, news, or someone elseโs signal.
Reality:
If you donโt know:
Where you will enter
Where you will exit
How much you can lose
๐ You are gambling, not trading.
Mentor Rule:
No plan = no trade.
2๏ธโฃ Over-Leverage (Fast Money = Fast Death)
Mistake:
Using high leverage (20x, 50x, 100x) to โgrow fastโ.
Reality:
Leverage magnifies losses faster than profits.
90% liquidations happen because of over-leverage, not bad analysis.
Mentor Rule:
Beginners: Spot only
Futures: 3xโ5x maximum
3๏ธโฃ No Stop Loss (Ego Over Account)
Mistake:
โI will close manuallyโ
#โMarket will come backโ
Reality:
The market does NOT care about your emotions.
Mentor Rule:
A trade without stop loss is already a loss.
Always define SL before entering the trade.
4๏ธโฃ Overtrading (Revenge Mode)
Mistake:
Trading every small candle
Recovering losses immediately
Trading because youโre bored
Reality:
More trades โ more profit
More trades = more mistakes
Mentor Rule:
1โ2 quality trades per day
After 2 losses โ STOP
5๏ธโฃ Ignoring Market Structure
Mistake:
Buying at resistance
Selling at support
Reality:
Market moves from support โ resistance
Not from hope โ profit
Mentor Rule:
Buy near support
Sell near resistance
Trade with higher timeframe trend
6๏ธโฃ Trading During News & High Volatility
Mistake:
Trading CPI, FOMC, ETF news, or sudden pumps/dumps.
Reality:
News creates:
Fake breakouts
Stop hunts
Emotional traps
Mentor Rule:
If you donโt understand the news impact โ stay out.
7๏ธโฃ FOMO & Social Media Influence
Mistake:
โEveryone is buyingโ
โTwitter says pumpโ
Reality:
By the time social media talks โ smart money is exiting.
Mentor Rule:
Enter where fear exists, not where hype exists.
8๏ธโฃ Unrealistic Profit Expectations
Mistake:
Trying to double account daily.
Reality:
Professional traders target:
2โ5% per week
Consistency over excitement
Mentor Rule:
Small, consistent profits compound into big money.
9๏ธโฃ Ignoring Psychology (The Biggest Mistake)
Mistake:
Trading while angry, stressed, or emotional.
Reality:
Emotional trading destroys even perfect strategies.
Mentor Rule:
If your mind is not calm โ do not trade
