Newbie Mistake #1: The Dunning-Kruger Effect In Trading: Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

One of the biggest mistakes in trading is overconfidence. New traders often enter the market with a burst of enthusiasm, mistaking beginner’s luck for skill.

This cognitive bias is a treacherous cliff on the trading landscape where what you don’t know can, and most likely will, hurt you.

How to overcome this: Commit to studying and learning. The market is constantly changing, with some trends coming and going.

Study check, who’s still up studying and burning the midnight oil to learn more and be better prepared than your competitors?! Where are all my most dedicated students at?!?!

Newbie Mistake #2: Premature Trading: Rushing In Too Soon

The allure of quick profits can tempt new traders to dive into markets without due preparation, like a boxer entering the ring without knowing how to punch.

There’s a lot to learn…

Like trading setups, market psychology, risk management, catalysts, etc. It takes time to develop these skills.

Most of my millionaire students, including Glenn, didn’t find success overnight.

How to overcome this: Trade small or consider paper trading. Don’t rush. The market isn’t a sprint…it’s a marathon.

Newbie Mistake #3: Flying Blind: No System In Place

Trading without a system is like sailing without a compass. You might catch a good wind, but you’re more likely to get lost at sea.

You don’t have to master every setup to become a successful trader. You can do very well with just a few. However, it takes time to figure out what those will be.

Once you do figure that out, you then must focus solely on those specific setups.

How to overcome this: Develop or learn a trading system with clear rules for entry, exit, and money management. Stick to it religiously.

Newbie Mistake #4: Tool-Less Trading: No Tools

Trading without tools is akin to going fishing with your bare hands. You might catch something, but you’ll be far outperformed by someone with a rod.

Top traders like Glenn are using StocksToTrade Breaking News to find catalysts, as well as scans and alerts from the StocksToTrade Platform.

How to overcome this: Good tools level the playing field between you and Wall Street. If you’d like to learn more about a special tool that I’m developing utilizing the power of AI, check this time sensitive announcement.

Newbie Mistake #5: Playing With Fire: No Risk Management

If the name of the game early on is survival. Then you must cut losses quickly.

Ignoring risk management is the equivalent of staking your entire fortune on a game of roulette. It’s reckless.

How to overcome this: Put risk management ahead of profits in terms of priority. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Every trade should have a clear risk-reward ratio.

Newbie Mistake #6: The Gambler’s Dilemma: You’re Basically Gambling

If you’re trading based on gut feelings or hot tips without analysis, you’re gambling, not trading. So many newbies are eager to make money they just jump in from one symbol to the next.

How to overcome this: Discover what works and discipline yourself to stick to those setups. If you don’t know what works then study. Don’t gamble.

Newbie Mistake #7: Mistakes in the Mirror: No Idea What They’re Doing Wrong

Glenn is a big believer of studying the past, including your old trades. Even if you lose, there is knowledge to be gained. Most newbies don’t reflect on their trades, which means they repeat the same mistakes.

How to overcome this: Start journaling and taking notes on your trades. If you’d like to see Glenn’s trades on Profit.ly you can find them here.
