trading as a hobby instead of a small business • Lack of knowledge and experience • Trying to imitate others instead of developing your unique stock
trading philosophy that suits best to your personality • Listening to others instead of doing your own research • Lack of recordkeeping • Overanalyzing and overcomplicating things (Zen - like simplicity is the key) • Lack of flexibility to adapt to the always / quick - changing stock market • Lack of patience to learn stock
trading properly, wait to enter into the positions and let the winners run (inpatience results in overtrading, which in turn results in high transaction costs) • Lack of stock
trading plan that defines your goals, entry / exit points, etc. • Lack of risk management rules on stop losses, position sizing, leverage, diversification, etc. • Lack of discipline to stick to your stock
trading plan and risk management rules • Getting emotional (fear, greed, hope, revenge, regret, bragging, getting overconfident after big wins, sheep - like crowd - following behavior, etc.) • Not knowing and understanding the competition • Not knowing the catalysts that trigger stock price changes • Averaging down (adding to losers instead of adding to winners) • Putting your stock
trading capital in 1 - 2 or more than 6 - 7 stocks instead of diversifying into about 5 stocks • Bottom / top fishing • Not understanding the specifics of short selling • Missing this market / industry / stock connection, the big picture, and only focusing on the specific stocks • Trying to predict the market / economy instead of just listening to it and going
