I feel my biggest mistake was to not have a good trading plan. I didn’t set my goals which is the worst thing someone can do because you can achieve nothing, if you don’t have goals. Because of this, I lost on many of the trades that I initiated. I even felt that I should just quit trading and do something else because this was clearly not my cup of tea. From there on my learning started and today I have a trading plan, have my daily goals set which I make sure to finish.
Scaling up. While technically it is the correct thing to do it gets to a point where one loss can be a whole years normal working salary. It will f up your confidence. I think it is better to play smaller once you reach a bigger portfolio for health sake.
