In order of severity

2: Confuse stock with its company– keep pets
3. No trading plan– random exits and entries
4. No idea how important position sizing is
5. No risk management (daily/weekly/monthly loss cap)
6. Over trading
7. Revenge trading
8  Immobilized even when Mr. opportunity knocks on the door(fear)
9. Push for performance(greed)
