Topic: Beginner mistakes and how to avoid them - page 3. (Read 500 times)
The reason beginners make mistakes is that they get too excited about anything.Their motivation to earn money is very high. But they don't know that there are many strategies to be adopted in trading.Newbies actually treat trading like gambling, they think they can make more profit with less investment. They don't focus on trading portfolios. Everything is just for money, not for experience.However, it is very common for beginners to make mistakes in cryptocurrency. At first we also made many mistakes, but later we learned and gained experience.
scalping indeed is for experienced traders. because one mistake and your profits will be gone. so trade using your extra money and start small as much as possible.
greed is the common cause of trading failure, but i guess, we are guilty of this at one point. but we learn our mistakes, and sometimes an expensive mistake.

Why should scalping be mentioned to beginners when professionals also fail due to one mistakes trade and loss all or majority of their profits. Scalping should only be done by those that have mastered it from their years of trading. There are so many mistakes a newbie can make but he shouldn't get himself trading through scalping, the volatility of the market can cause big losses.
Beginners have to understand one important point, mistakes are okay as they can teach you more valuable lesson more than anybody else or your wins. But we shouldn't make mistakes that are too expensive which is why we have to keep our capital on a low risk amount so it doesn't bother us much if lost.

* Failure to use stop-loss-- to me it's the most important thing I do while trading, an it's always close to my entry price, I do it that way so that if the trade didn't go as planned, I won't lose more than 10% of my margin.
I don't if anyone have more to add, so I can also learn?
I can relate to this during my early days in trading. I already realized it very late before. The feeling is really different when you start trading especially you're new to it.* Failure to use stop-loss-- to me it's the most important thing I do while trading, an it's always close to my entry price, I do it that way so that if the trade didn't go as planned, I won't lose more than 10% of my margin.

So, it must be always for beginners to have knowledge first or learn every basic first before opening their first trade because there is already money involved here.
Not having a trading plan should also be avoided because we won't be able to get much profit, especially if the market immediately reverses. This often happens when trading because the market never tells us when the time changes. Maybe there are specific signs that we must find, so this requires a better ability to analyze.
Don't think we can take a lot of profits because when we think so, the market can immediately drop and eliminate our opportunity to take profits. Most traders are so greedy in taking profits that they miss the opportunity and regret it.
Just stick to your trading plan, and learned to be more flexible when sudden market factors affect its behavior. Otherwise, if you trade without analyzing the market well, you might get caught losing because you were driven by your greed in trading. And always have self-control no matter what. Learn to address your emotions well, and if possible, never trade when your emotions are not stable because surely you will only be affected by it. Don't think we can take a lot of profits because when we think so, the market can immediately drop and eliminate our opportunity to take profits. Most traders are so greedy in taking profits that they miss the opportunity and regret it.
For me, my advice to beginners is to trade in the long term and stay away from scalping until they have a good experience in trading.
Patience and not being greedy are also important tips. These negative traits are the main reason why many novice traders lose.
In any case, beginners should not enter into large deals at the beginning, and it is always better to enter with what they can afford to lose.
These are really useful tips. I believe if you are a good and successful trader, it means that you are trading following on the positive tips and never entertain those who only bring out negativity. By having patience and no amount of greediness, which means you separate your emotions when trading, that will help you to focus on your target in trading without being bothered by any negative emotions. Since trading is never easy, so you should learn to be more patient on whatever your trading outcome and always trade on a minimal amount, those are some way to help you stay in a safe zone.Patience and not being greedy are also important tips.

* Over trading-- it's very important for a day trader to limit the number of trade he/she took in a day.
* Lack of trading plan-- develop a strategy an stick to it, do not ever enters a trade blindly, if not the market will remove you blindly.
* Failure to use stop-loss-- to me it's the most important thing I do while trading, an it's always close to my entry price, I do it that way so that if the trade didn't go as planned, I won't lose more than 10% of my margin.

These are just some reasons but the mean reason why a newbie usually had fail is because of uncontrollable emotions. * Over trading-- it's very important for a day trader to limit the number of trade he/she took in a day.

Because even you have a concrete plan and use effective strategies but if you were still get affected easily by the FUDs and negative news, I was certain that you will get out of focus and in your plan. You will go in a different direction because what it dictates to you now is your mind, not the plan that you have set.
Experience will teach everything and mistakes will then open our mind where we got wrong. So, don't get afraid of losing because this will lead us the way to improve ourselves

The most frequent error made by beginners is ignorance. People typically associate trading with generating money when they hear the term. But the hard truth is that in order to earn money, you must turn a profit, and in order to turn a profit, you must remain knowledgeable about the market and currency. However, many newcomers lack patience and invest right away without conducting any study or having sufficient understanding. After making an investment in the coin, people examine whether its value will rise or fall and afterwards second-guess their choice. These are some of the major blunders that all novices and beginners must steer clear of.

First off, you need to understand your aim of trading before you begin to trade and in understanding what trading is all about you must have gotten a good knowledge on trading I believe without having a proper knowledge on trading the trader is doing nothing but gambling.
I disagree with the first point of the op as a mistake in trading,
* Over Trading: There is nothing like over trading when one is ok with what he's doing especially an experience trader that has no limit to the profit he's making during trading, the only time I think one needs to stop trading is when the market is not favourable to you or when your losing back the profits you made in a particular day else it is not a mistake if someone choses to trade for a whole day in as much as your making profit. The main function of stop-loss in trading is to limit (stop) a trader from losing above the limit he or she is willing to lose in a trade it is created to stop one from trading even when one is making profit.

It's not all about limiting it alone, an experienced trader must know when to stop or continue in trading each day because there are times where it may look more difficult to realize something better from the signals seen but immediately after some minutes or lately in the day, things can suddenly change for good and better that may warrant taking another trade for the day which may be the most profitable one of it all.
* Lack of trading plan-- develop a strategy an stick to it, do not ever enters a trade blindly, if not the market will remove you blindly.

Emotional trading - it's important to not let your emotions, such as fear or greed, dictate your trading decisions. Stick to your plan and avoid impulsive decisions.
FOMO (fear of missing out) - don't jump into trades just because you see others making profits. Do your own research and make informed decisions.
Ignoring market trends - it's important to keep up with market news and trends, and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Poor risk management - it's important to not risk more than you can afford to lose, and to diversify your portfolio to minimize risk.

That rookie blunder: assuming mondo bucks guarantee mondo success. It's like equating a massive noggin to Einstein-level smarts. Newsflash: nope.
Back in my greenhorn days, I thought I was the bee's knees 'cause my account had some extra goose eggs. But when I got serious about my game plan and self-control, that's when the magic happened.
And on the topic of game plans, you're nailing it, bro. Over trading's like scarfing an entire pizza solo: seems rad in the moment, but you'll be hating life later. Flying blind with no plan is like driving a car

* Over trading--
* Lack of trading plan--
* Failure to use stop-loss--
Agreed, these three were the main flaws in my trading back in time. Like at first i spent around 40$ dollars on gala token and booked only 1$ to 2$ maybe. after that i bought a token based on ETH, i think it was, DYDX which i bought when it was on it's ATH this was my first mistake-->Lack of trading plan. Second i started to do future even i have no knowledge of trading i just saw a friend making money in future and i got excited and started only with $10 and lost $5 at first trade then i make again $10 with my $5. And then i lost all of it again. why -->Failure to use stop-loss. * Lack of trading plan--
* Failure to use stop-loss--
So after learning i should use stop loss i started with $30 dollars and started to make like $1 or $2 dollars almost for 2 to 4 days, actually my leverage was low, so i thought with such low leverage i cannot make more money then $1 or $2 so i started to make more trades,-->Over trading and i made $9 in the first day and then $15 on the other day. On the second day, i thought i should trade again so i invested 50% of my money in and saved 50% to increase liquidation price and this was my biggest mistake, and lost all of my money in that trade even the 50% (to increase liquidity). After that i never do Future trade. You points are so generic and as a newbie we should keep them in mind.
In order to avoid mistakes as much as possible, you should start by simply observing how experienced traders operate. Then you need to analyze various strategies and choose the most appropriate one for your trading style. Of course, it is necessary to understand that it is impossible to avoid mistakes completely
Doesnt really need to observe out experienced traders but if you do find that you do have some hard time on making on your own, then getting or snipping out some ideas from older traders or experiencedones is considerable or something that viable to do so as long it does benefit you out positive then go ahead and improve and getting some ideas as much as you can but on the time that you could
see that you do able to stand your own then its a must thing to consider. Strategy making does involved lots of trial and error which is something
that you would really be needing to mold up.
Lack of trading plan, Over trading, trading without a stop loss are some of the problems not only newbies face today even Experienced traders suffer from these mistakes!
But I think the main reason that causes all this is inexperience, traders want to dive right into the deep end without having to experience what the waters feel like by going into the baby pool which can be mimicked by using a demo account, which can allow you to get a real life experience and allow you to feel the emotion of trading and the alike, and once you put your strategy together you will definitely trade with the confidence and edge without having to worry about previous mistakes or having heavy loses.
Everything would be needing a plan or target which it does really need up to be thinking up on how its been done or on how it would be executed on whatever analysis that you had mold up.But I think the main reason that causes all this is inexperience, traders want to dive right into the deep end without having to experience what the waters feel like by going into the baby pool which can be mimicked by using a demo account, which can allow you to get a real life experience and allow you to feel the emotion of trading and the alike, and once you put your strategy together you will definitely trade with the confidence and edge without having to worry about previous mistakes or having heavy loses.
Most beginner mistake is on making use of higher leverage or simply doing futures without having any experience on spot because they are really that hurrying up themselves
on making some profits without even trying out to consider on whats the risks involved. SL's is suggestable but if you are really that making
some short trades then its not bad to not use at least.

... they are wrong, not knowing that if you can't grow/manage a small account, you can't grow/manage a big account either, their are common mistakes they usually make..
Managing funds is exactly very important in trading. We may not deny that higher capital may let us earn higher gains or profits. But this also requires higher risks of losing higher money. This will definetely depend on our skill and ability of trading, not only based on trading strategy but also controls of our emotions and funds. But generally, in facy, most newbies are lack of these. So, they may not be able to control and manage their capital money and head to lose much. I do agree that mistakes made by newbies are actualy quite similar from time to times. Althiugh there are many lessons shared here about trading strategy for beginner, not all newbies are willing to read and learn. They focus more on trial to earn much more money without thinking about money management and trading strategy very well.
There’s always a beginners mistakes, and you can’t avoid that even if you know what to do.
There are cases where emotions are stronger than you, what you can do is to learn from it and adjust your strategy accordingly. I also don’t like over trading, because I have my target profit everyday and if I hit it already, I stop trading and focus more on other things, by doing this you are discipling yourself to be a more responsible trader.

Overtrading is a big problem for newbie traders who think it is better to scalp on small volume pairs rather than chase a big trend. Sometimes it works but after paying so much commission to brokers they understand something is wrong and decide to change their trading style. If the trader has no trading plan, it becomes gambling which can lead to a burst account balance sooner or later, from my personal experience. Using trailer stops on profit zones and having pre-determined stop loss zone will save traders with experience in this field, IMO.
The use of scalping methods is not advisable for newbies, if those are long-term traders who have difficulty with this method, especially those who do not have enough knowledge of crypto trading. The money used here will quickly disappear if this is their way of trading. It is really necessary to have a well-informed idea and knowledge so that the capital that will be used here is not wasted.
