The 10 mistakes that blow accounts

  1. No stop loss (or moving it wider).
  2. Over-leveraging / huge lot sizes.
  3. Revenge trading after a loss.
  4. No trading plan — random entries.
  5. Chasing every signal instead of quality setups.
  6. Risking more than 1-2% per trade.
  7. Trading into high-impact news with a tight stop.
  8. No journal, so mistakes repeat.
  9. Overtrading out of boredom.
  10. Quitting a good strategy after 2-3 losses.

Master these and you're ahead of 90% of retail traders. The ShaFX Risk tools + journal help you avoid most of them automatically.
