I've been trading for years and I see the same patterns with beginners over and over.

Mistake #1: Trading without a plan.

You see a candle move, you FOMO in, it dumps. Sound familiar? Every trade needs an entry, a stop loss, and a target BEFORE you click buy.

Mistake #2: Risking too much per trade.

Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade. Blow this rule and one bad day wipes out a month of gains.

Mistake #3: Switching strategies every week.

Pick ONE strategy. Master it. Backtest it. Only move on when you've given it at least 50 trades. Jumping between strategies guarantees you never learn any of them.

These sound simple but following them separates profitable traders from everyone else. If you're just getting started, Viewprint Academy is where we break all of this down daily — signals, analysis, and real-time learning.
