The 3 mistakes that blow up every beginner trader's account
I've been trading for years, and I see the same three mistakes kill beginners over and over again. If you're just getting started, read this before you place another trade.
1. Trading without a plan
Most beginners open a chart, see something "looks good," and click buy. That's not trading — that's gambling. Before you enter ANY trade, you need to know your entry, your stop loss, and your target. Every single time.
2. Risking too much per trade
The fastest way to blow an account is risking 10-20% on a single trade. Professional traders risk 1-2% max. That means if you have a $1,000 account, you're risking $10-$20 per trade. Sounds boring? That's how you survive long enough to get good.
3. Chasing losses
You lose a trade, so you immediately jump into another one to "make it back." Now you're emotional, sloppy, and probably about to lose again. After a loss, step away. Review what happened. Come back with a clear head.
These aren't advanced concepts. They're the basics that 90% of beginners skip. Don't be that 90%.
I put together a free training that covers all of this in detail — the fundamentals every trader needs before risking real money. It's free, no catch. Come learn the right way.
