1) Trading Without a Clear Plan

Entering trades “just to try” often leads to emotional decisions and inconsistent results.

Fix: Define your entry, exit, and risk limits before placing any trade.

2) Skipping Stop Loss (or Moving It When the Trade Goes Wrong)

Not setting a Stop Loss or constantly adjusting it out of fear—can expose traders to large unexpected losses.

Fix: Use Stop Loss and stick to it unless your strategy requires rule-based adjustments.

3) Overleveraging and Overexposure

Using high leverage or opening positions that are too large can wipe out an account quickly, especially during volatility.

Fix: Use conservative sizing and ensure you always have enough free margin.

4) Overtrading After a Win or Loss

Many traders trade more aggressively after a win (confidence) or after a loss (revenge trading), increasing risk.

Fix: Set a daily trade limit and take breaks after major wins/losses to reset emotionally.

5) Ignoring Market Timing

Trading during low liquidity or highly volatile sessions without preparation increases slippage and poor entries.

Fix: Be aware of major global sessions and high-impact news periods—trade only when conditions match your strategy.

6) Not Reviewing Trades

Without tracking performance, traders often repeat the same mistakes.

Fix: Keep a simple trading journal—record entries, exits, reasons, and outcomes.

1) Start With Position Sizing (Protect Your Capital First)

Before entering any trade, determine how much of your capital you’re willing to risk. Position sizing helps traders avoid overexposure and prevents a single trade from significantly impacting their account.

Practical tip: Keep risk per trade small and consistent to support long-term sustainability.

2) Use Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels Consistently

Two essential tools for responsible trading are Stop Loss and Take Profit. These help define your downside risk and lock in gains based on a planned strategy rather than emotion.

Practical tip: Set risk limits before entering the trade, not after the price starts moving.

3) Avoid Overtrading During High Volatility

During major market events, traders may feel pressured to enter multiple trades quickly. This often leads to overtrading and increased losses due to impulsive decisions.

Practical tip: Limit the number of trades during high-volatility hours and focus only on setups that match your plan.

4) Watch Your Leverage and Margin Carefully

Leverage can amplify both profits and losses. Traders should understand how leverage affects margin requirements and avoid using high leverage without a clear risk plan.

Practical tip: Use leverage cautiously and avoid opening positions that leave too little free margin.

5) Maintain a Simple Trading Plan and Stick to It

A trading plan helps prevent emotional reactions when markets become unpredictable. Traders should define entry rules, exit rules, and maximum loss limits in advance.

Practical tip: Write down your rules and follow them consistently as discipline matters more than prediction.

6) Practice With a Demo Account Before Going Live

For new traders, a demo account can help build familiarity with market movement and trade execution without risking real funds.

Practical tip: Use demo practice to test strategies and understand risk behaviour before trading live.

Trade with more confidence by building responsible risk habits from the start.
