The following are the most common mistakes most stock trading neophytes—and even those in the business for a short span of time—commits. Make sure that you memorize them by heart to avoid committing and repeating the same mistakes. If you are new into stock trading, you must know that:

1. The records that stock trading robots create are not reliable at all times. Many first time traders believe that the records that trading robots create are trusted so they don’t do back research. If you want to be notches higher, do not always rely on these reports because chances are, these are manipulated or made up with no actual basis.

2. The money can be made through day trading or scalping. This is also another big bluff in the stock trading industry because simulations are used to promote and create transactions that are not based on actual statistics. Don’t rely on the voices that you hear—either online or in the stock trading market—because these only aim to lure you into transactions that don’t guarantee anything.

3. The short-term goals in stock trading don’t guarantee success in the future. This is because short terms can be random and fluctuates easily, thus, not ensuring anything on your transactions in the coming years.
