Most people who start trading blow their account within 6 months. Here's why — and what the successful 10% do differently.

The 3 Biggest Beginner Mistakes

1. Trading without understanding candles

Every candlestick tells a story. A hammer at the bottom of a downtrend? That's bulls screaming "we're not done yet." A Doji after a rally? That's indecision — a reversal might be coming. If you can't read candles, you're trading blind.

2. Ignoring support and resistance

Price doesn't move randomly. It bounces between invisible walls — support (floor) and resistance (ceiling). The traders who draw these levels BEFORE entering a trade are the ones who survive.

3. No risk management

The 2% rule exists for a reason. Never risk more than 2% of your account on a single trade. Use stop losses. Always. No exceptions.

What the 10% Do Differently

• They learn candlestick patterns until they can read them in their sleep

• They identify the trend BEFORE placing any trade

• They treat trading like a business, not a casino

• They keep a trading journal

• They start small and scale up slowly
