Every trader makes mistakes, its part of the learning process. But in forex, certain mistakes can drain your account faster than you think. The good news? You don’t have to learn them the hard way.
At Geldex Forex Academy, we teach you how to sidestep these common pitfalls from day one, so you can focus on building steady, long-term profits.
1. Over-Leveraging
Leverage can feel exciting, it lets you control bigger positions with a smaller deposit. But just as it can magnify your profits, it can also magnify your losses. Many beginners get carried away and end up blowing their accounts.
The fix: Use leverage conservatively, especially when starting out. We’ll show you how to size your trades so that leverage works for you, not against you.
2. Ignoring Risk Management
If you’re risking 10%, 20%, or even 50% of your account on a single trade… you’re gambling, not trading. One bad trade could wipe you out.
The fix: Follow the golden rule: never risk more than 1–2% of your account on any trade. At Geldex, we give you a simple, repeatable risk management system to keep you in the game for the long haul.
3. Trading Without a Plan
Jumping into trades based on “gut feeling” or random tips is a recipe for disaster. Without a clear strategy, you’re just guessing.
The fix: Develop a trading plan that includes entry and exit rules, risk limits, and market analysis. We’ll help you build one that matches your personality, schedule, and financial goals.
4. Letting Emotions Take Over
Fear makes you exit too early. Greed makes you hold on too long. Either way, emotions can sabotage even the best trading setups.
The fix: Learn to trust your plan and stick to it. Through our training, you’ll discover techniques to stay calm and disciplined, even when the market gets volatile.
5. Chasing Losses
You lose a trade… and immediately open another to “win it back.” This spiral is one of the fastest ways to burn through your capital.
The fix: Step back, review what went wrong, and return with a clear head. We teach you how to turn losses into learning opportunities instead of emotional triggers.
