The most common mistake in trading is comparing yourself to others. When you look at the orders of big players, in reality, their single trade amount might be your entire principal. And your entire investment portfolio might just be a trader’s stop-loss point for the day. Focusing on others will only disrupt your rhythm. The truly smart approach is simple—focus on your own market, follow your plan. Everyone has different capital, risk tolerance, and trading cycles, so comparisons are meaningless. Manage your positions well, stick to your rules, and that is the key to long-term survival.
