5 Common Trading Mistakes You MUST Avoid

5 Common Trading Mistakes You MUST Avoid
  • Overtrading: only take A‑setups that match your plan.
  • Revenge trades: forced cooldown after any loss >1R.
  • Moving stops: never widen risk; only trail in profit.
  • Ignoring position sizing: size from stop distance, not conviction.
  • Chasing breakouts late: wait for retests or clear momentum rules.

Summary: Protect R first. Removing five common errors typically flips results faster than finding a new strategy.
