The Most Expensive Mistakes in Trading
Blair Nightingale • May 27, 2025
When people lose too much money to the stock market, it’s almost always because of the same problem.
They’re trading without enough training.
(Sometimes they haven’t had any training at all whatsoever.)
New traders often don’t understand that trading is a new skillset that you have to learn. You can’t just open your computer and magically know how to do it.
Guessing, gambling and just going for it isn’t what makes you money in the stock market–it’s what drains your account.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you the three most expensive mistakes I see people make in trading over and over again. (Don’t make these mistakes!)

If you’re struggling to make a profit trading–I see you. It can be so frustrating to do well on one trade, and then give all your money back to the market on the next one. I’ve been there! You’re probably making some common mistakes without realizing it–and these things are learnable. Once you stop making these common beginner trading mistakes, and you start using a trading system to structure your trades, your trading profits have the potential to finally take off. Here’s what you need to do to turn your trading around after a huge flop. Don’t try to win back the money that you’ve lost.

➡️ Join the upcoming Unlock the Stock Market Challenge: https://www.tradeway.com/challenge There’s a saying about day trading: “Day trading is the hardest easy money you’ll ever make.” The thing is, when it comes to trading, the shorter the time frame, the harder it is to become profitable. If you place a trade and close it that same day, it’s going to be very challenging for you as a new trader to make a profit from that trade. If you place a trade that lasts longer–say a few weeks–and then close it, it will be much easier for you to become profitable. If you were new to skiing, you wouldn’t start on the hardest, most dangerous slopes. You would start on the bunny hill. The thing is, day trading can be lethal to new traders’ brokerage accounts. Nothing drains their accounts faster. Trades that last days or weeks will require a little more patience, it’s true–but this style of trading can absolutely change your life.
