Here is the link.
1) Beliefs about market direction - leave the beliefs to talking heads on Bloomberg - you are a trader. For about beliefs - you are just looking for good trades.
2) Increasing position size aggressively. I've done this myself and got smacked down on the face several times due to this.
3) Chasing the trade when you have no good risk/reward. We want to get onboard trades but not at any cost. If you can't have a good entry then you have no business being in the trade.
4) No plan - this is a big one. Trading with no plan is no good. You need at least a basic plan - have some risk management in place!
5) Ignoring the trading plan - due to fear of loss you don't close trades because you don't want to crystallise the loss.
6) Being wrong and letting ego keep you wrong.
7) Jumping in with no defined setup.
8) Seeking other people's opinion.
