Top 10 Trading Pitfalls to Avoid
Here are the most common pitfalls we hear from our students - before they take an Investools course.

1. Holding losing stocks too long — or selling winning stocks too early.

2. Setting your expectations too high, too soon.

3. Trading on “tips” from friends and relatives.

4. Overtrading to compensate for nothing happening in the market.

5. Putting too much capital into one trade.

6. Not putting a well-defined trading plan in place.

7. Lacking the patience or discipline to follow the plan you put in place.

8. Failing to use protective stops.

9. Trying to pick tops and bottoms of the market.

10. Trading against the trend.
