Every Beginner In Stock Market Will Lose Money In Their Initial Days. But What Makes A Trader Successful Over Time Is Learning From Their Mistakes.

Most Of Beginners While Trading They Do Mistakes, It’s Very Common In Stock Market. But They Don’t Note Their Mistakes And Will Repeat The Same Mistake Again And Again. This Is The Main Difference Between A Successful And Unsuccessful Trader.

Thinking Trading As A Part Time Job

Trading Is The Most Riskiest In Stock Market. If You Want To Be A Trader You Need To Spend Your Full Time For Stock Market. You Need To Take Trading As A Full-Time Job Then Only You Can Be Profitable In Trading.

If You Are Not In A Situation To Spend Your Full Time For Trading Then Choose Short Term Trading Or Investing.

The Traders Who Spend Their Full Time For Trading Are Also Failing In Their Trades. Because Trading Is the Most Difficult Thing. You Need To Spend Your Time To Follow The News Regularly And To Speculate The Stock, Market Trends, And World Market Trends.

Even If You Know Technicals Very Well And You Are A Pro In Analyzing The Technicals But If You Don’t Follow News It Is Of No Use. Because If You Have Done Technicals Analysis Of A Stock And If You Took A Position. If There Is Any Bad News Regarding The Company. It Will Effect The Stock, So The Stock May Drastically Fall.

News Effects The Stock Price More Than The Technicals, If There Is Any Good News Some Times The Stock May Increase Even 20%. So Follow The News Regularly.

Don’t Trade Regularly

Trading Everyday Is Not Compulsory. What Beginners Do Is They Trade Regularly Because They Want To Make Money Quickly and every day.

Trade Only when There Is An Opportunity, Don’t Trade Regularly And Most Of Beginners Addict To Trading They Feel Bored If They Don’t Trade A Day.

This Is Very Common For Every Beginner. But The One Who Holds His Emotions And Feelings Will Succeed In Stock Market. If There Is No Opportunity Then Just Watch The Market How It Is Moving. Watch The stocks In Your Watchlist How They Are Moving.

This Is To Say Only Trade When There Is An Opportunity. Do Remember That Trading Regularly Is Not Compulsory. It Will Also Effect You Mentally And Emotionally.

Lack Of Emotional Balance

Why Traders Lose Money In Stock Market

In Stock Market, You Need To Respond For Your Emotions But Not React. Before Taking A Trade Be Clear About Your Profit Targets And Stop Loss And Don’t Be Greedy. If Your Trade Hits Your Target Then Come Out Of The Trade Or If Your Stop Loss Hits Come Out Of The Trade.

What Beginners Do Is They Don’t Have Clarity About Targets And Stop Loss. They Just Run Back The Stock. If The Stock Is Raising Then They Think It May Raise Further And Holds. And If The Stock Is Falling They Think That It May Raise And They Hold It.

The Stock May Fall Further And The Losses Will Be Huge.

This Is Also One Of The Biggest Mistakes Done By Beginners While Trading. So Be Clear About Your Profit And Stop Loss.

The Other Mistake Is Over Trading, To Recover The Losses Beginners Do Trade After A Trade And At The End, They Will End Up Losing More Money.

Do Control Your Emotions, Don’t Over Tarde, If Your Trade Goes Wrong Just Exit And Analyze Why It Went Wrong, Don’t Hold In The Hope Of That It Will Raise. Be Clear About Your Profit Target And Stop Loss.
