Looking back on my trading journey, I’ve definitely committed a few of these “investing sins.” Greed and impatience hit me hardest—I often held on too long, hoping for more gains, or chased green candles expecting quick profits. Without a clear plan, I ended up losing more than I should have.

One trade I regret was jumping into a hyped stock out of envy, just because others were making big gains. I didn’t understand the company at all and ended up stuck for months. That loss taught me to tune out the noise, do proper research, and trust my own judgment.

If there were an eighth sin, I’d add overtrading—constantly buying and selling without reason. It burns capital and energy fast. My tip for beginners: stay patient, track your trades, and always know your exit before you enter. Discipline beats emotion in the long run.
