First of all, common mistakes are aggressive trading without risk control and a losing trading strategy. It is also important to choose a reliable regulated broker that would provide the best trading conditions, minimal spreads and instant execution so that you do not worry about your investments and trade comfortably. This is especially important for intraday trading and scalping trading, so I chose my company for trading based on these criteria.

Common pitfalls for beginners include overleveraging, emotional trading, and lack of a solid plan. To avoid these, set realistic risk management rules, stick to a well-defined trading strategy, and control emotions. Always start small, practice patience, and continuously review and learn from each trade to improve your skills.

You also need to have self-control and be disciplined in trading, making only thoughtful and reasonable actions according to the rules of your strategy and not trying to take revenge on the market for your mistakes and losses.

Beginners in trading often face pitfalls like overleveraging, emotional trading, and lack of a plan. To succeed, focus on education, set realistic goals, and manage risks effectively. Use a demo account to test strategies, stay disciplined, and trade with a regulated broker for a secure and informed trading experience.

Beginner traders are often not ready to admit their failures and try to compensate for losses by opening new unprofitable trades. Therefore, it is important to be able to stop in time and analyze your unsuccessful trades and find their causes in order to be able to make adjustments to your trading strategy for further more successful trading.
