Topic: What are the usual mistakes that newbie traders usually do? (Read 1981 times)

1. Lack of Knowledge

Trading business without knowledge (education) is like plunging into the sea without being able to swim. Many novice traders feel dizzy and overwhelmed by various trading terms, techniques and tools, so they choose to trade right away. Of course this is not recommended. Today there are tons of resources on the internet to learn the basics of trading. Apart from the basics of trading, novice traders also tend to be less up-to-date on global economic news. In fact, this news can really help traders analyze price movements.

2. Trading Without a Plan

Money management, risk management, how long it will take to trade, the amount of capital - all of these are very important to plan before starting to trade in the real market. Many novice traders start trading without sufficient capital, or use all their savings as capital. Remember that trading is a business with high risk and high returns, so it is advisable to use "idle" money as capital. There are also many beginner traders who have not learned to manage risks properly and are determined to take risks higher than their ability. Especially with the leverage feature. If you are unfamiliar and not accompanied by good risk management, this leverage can be a double-edged sword for traders. To avoid this, make a trading plan before entering the market, starting from what strategy to use, determining where the entry level is, to where and when to enter and exit the market (or stop loss and profit targets).

3. Trade With Emotion

This is also one of the most common mistakes novice traders make. Trading without controlling emotions can scare a trader or even become greedy. This error is usually found after a trader loses a trade and experiences a loss. Traders can quickly give up and are too afraid to take another risk, so they just deposit their balance without doing anything. Apart from being too scared, there are also novice traders who become greedy after losing so they are tempted to do revenge trading, where traders try to recover their losses aggressively and open positions 2-3 times the previous losing positions. The intention is to get the maximum possible profit, but if the price does not move as expected, this step will actually make traders experience much greater losses. Of course this is not a wise move. In order not to get caught in this mistake, first learn your trading strategy. Find out what you can improve for the next transaction, and stay up to date with the latest news.

4. Allow A Loss

When in a losing position, there are novice traders who just let their trades go, hoping for a change in price in their favor. If losses are left indefinitely, it is not impossible that the price will continue to fall until traders run out of capital. This is another reason why traders are obliged to use the stop loss feature.

5. The Wrong Broker

In long-term trading, the broker is your partner. Therefore, it is very important to choose a good and trusted broker. Make sure your brokers are experienced, have a clear office profile, offer complete and good facilities and services, and most importantly have official licenses and are under the supervision of institutions such as BAPPEBTI. Official brokers under BAPPEBTI must have a separate account or segregated account for customer funds. So that the security of customer funds is guaranteed. Avoid obscure brokers that pop up like mushrooms and offer high bonuses, don't have separate accounts for traders' funds, and don't provide education to their traders. Usually irresponsible brokers like this will target novice traders who don't really understand trading.

First (Panicking ) - This is what we usually commit as a first mistake when our coin starts to fall down and we decided to sell out when there are a possibility to increase back sooner.

Second ( Trusting others) - this is actually what most Newbie mistakenly follow here ,They will ask for what coin to invest and they will believe instantly from someone that pushing the coins under His holding.

Third ( Not doing own research) - a stupidest action every newbie does, but we cannot blame them because they are newbie and deserve to commit mistakes for their own experiences .

The commong mistakes of the newbie traders are:
1. Beging Greedy - As newbie you are attracted to a big income so you will hope that you can earn more than selling it as soon as possible you get an enough profit and you want to have a very high profit so in the end you will lose if you missed the sell time and turns into panic selling.
2. Riding in a pump groups - Mostly of newbie traders are just hoping on a pump groups that gaining a instant profits but in the end if your not fast as the big traders or whales you will lose again your capital.
3. Lack of knowledge and analyzing - Before you enter in this job you need to have a knowledge on how to trader properly and you need to analyze the coin and read news about cryptocurrency to be aware what happens next on the market.

The usual mistake, which I also did when I started trading, is catching up with a hyped upside trend.

I made this mistake even when I was already familiar with some studies in trading because it really is hard to control myself on joining a hyped uptrend. I do not want to miss the opportunity for it to go even higher but the risk is that every hyped uptrend is also bound to crash. I was able to catch up with some of these trades but a mostly lost because I was coming in to the hype late already.

One thing to remember in trading is that there will always be other opportunities for you to have a good entry point. There will always be a a time when the market will rise massively and eventually crash again. You do not need to always go and catch up with every uptrend as it is a big risk that you might have an entry point that is about to go down. Do research and analyze the studies of the graph to have a better trading experience.

This is one thing no body can escape when it come to a proper way to start making money on Trading and other things involved in crypto. I think the first mistake is the eagerness to make it quick, that anxiousness that you want to make it big and quick. And the second mistake is not knowing what trading really is. It is more than doing regular trades. It far way more than that. When you know the ins and outs of trading. You will understand how to make it big time. There is a way to everything in this life, and trading crypto is not an exemption. And don't try to be greedy to it can cause you a lot.

Regardless of whether the cost of digital currency will increment or abatement. It will rely upon digital money you had picked. hello begins since they just hear uplifting news from others that doing exchanging is beneficial. They should begins after they are prepared and completely comprehend about exchanging movement particularly about digital currency exchanging.

Selling too early/Selling too late. Some people do cry about their holdings being dumped to oblivion blaming the coin for their losses where they can avoid it themselves. Learning the feel of the markets is a must and atleast a bit of knowledge on how charts works. Tho if your buying btc, selling too early must be the common encountered problem since bitcoin time and time again proved that it reaches new heights everytime.

More than anything else, going all in or at least not managing risk properly beforehand and as a result getting stuck in a bad trade/investment, these poor risk management usually comes from the need to get all the profit that you can make out of a trade and failing to see the downside, which is losing the same amount of money that you're hoping to make.

It's very advisable to always start buying something with 10-20% of your capital, that way if you got wrong and it started falling you can just start laddering buys on the way down and get a decent average price which ultimately minimizes the possible loss and if it happens to bounce back up you could get way more profits in that trade comparing to if you went all in at the first price you got.

Combine the above strategy with at least some basic knowledge of TA to find best entry/exit price and you will have a better time trading assets, no matter in which market you're trading on.

The most common mistake of a novice trader is that you need to constantly fix your profit, even if it is not so high, but you must always fix it and there will be less risk of losing your deposit.

I can share here my experience when i was newbie.
When i was new in trading i fail to understand what is coin or token so that i invested in wrong line.
I did not read the updated of invested tokens/coins so that some times i sell my tokens and 2 or 3 hours later its price was huge up.
I did not understood the FOMO of market so that i invested wrong time.
I did not followed the market updated news like BTC now raising up for Elon mask and Tesla invested and also they promoting BTC.

In this way i made mistake many things when i was newbie but i suggest to all newbies go for more experience and then make investment.

They begins since they just hear uplifting news from others that doing exchanging is productive. They should begins after they are prepared and completely comprehend about exchanging action particularly about cryptographic money exchanging. I put cash to exchange a trade with no information, and afterward I lost as regular and afterward I surrendered.

Well, most newbies become greedy when they earn huge money from trading. Then sometimes they try to borrow money from other investors or their friends just to get back what they lost. Much better to learn more about trading or use some trading algorithms like Mudrex for newbies to trade much easier.

I think the biggest one is lack of patience. Jumping in to buy a stock when everyone else is instead of waiting for it to settle back. Then selling at the slightest sign of a dip instead of holding it.

That's commonly to happen especially for newbies. Afraid of losing more money and thinking that the price will continue to move down, mostly will occur. To avoid such mistake, we may leave the trading platform after we make some buy orders. Overseeing the price movement too often may trigger our mind to be panic.

As I was a newbie before. I started trading bitcoin and ethereum. After quite some time while hodling it, its price went down. Then a started to panic and sold it to a lower price. After some months, its price went high again. Poor me.

Yeah usually falling to what your emotions tell you makes you sell low and buy high instead of the other way around. There are times when panic and fomo can be beneficial to save a trade but never when you're a newbie.

Of course, i have faced this situation at the beginning of my trading but sometimes we cannot control our patients about the market. Once we get the experience we will be looking for short term profits which will help to control our patience but in trading, it is impossible to make money without losing at the beginning.

Trading comfortably will not going to work IMO because i believe that once you get too comfortable with what you are doing it is still not enough and you will not going to the top if that is your desire. But if your desire is just to make some profit which means you are just dependent on it which is not really reliable in term of making money. Make yourself to strive more so that you could learn everything that you didn't know before.

mistakes that are usually done by beginners I think will be the same as usual, whether it's selling in panic or whatever, but the most regrettable is selling too hurriedly for fear that the price will not rise higher, when it is being pumped and then we sell it where we will regret when we see that the price continues to increase and we are too quick to make a decision. Of course this will be a lesson for all of us.

Trading with FOMO and Emotions Not using analysis very often You have to get the mentality that you are going to make more gains and eventually learn Is not bad at all to lose it normally happpens but watch the whole thing and learn form your mistake
