Over-trading is a common problem and still sometimes I over-trade based on the opportunities available, though not always.

I overtrade. I had always done it. I also make trades based on my emotions!
I asked for a solution and people advised me for controlling my emotions.
I am trying to do that, so right now I am on a break from trading:)))) Reading books, spending time on social media, walking, and working on myself. Hope that it will help.

A trading mistake that I used to make was not having a clear exit strategy in place. I would enter trades without a specific plan for when to take profits or cut losses. So I just was watching the market and waiting for the first bearish signs so I would close my buy trades

I was quite addicted to revenge trading that caused me to suffer losses in bulk. I have been with the market for long two years and I recovered this habit with time.

My error was made when I opened orders rather than setting st or tp. I became aware of open trades pending.
