Not having enough leverage 
P.s. Just a joke 
maybe …
New Traders with less than 2 years markets exposure must avoid F&O .
Reason: Poor/ Gambling mindset, No Risk Management, No Backtested strategy & above all zero discipline.
Interesting that daksh’s point is entry/exit/sizing and Rits’ is discipline — I’d argue they’re the same root cause. Most people have a decent enough plan on paper. It falls apart the moment a loss makes them abandon the plan mid-trade. The ‘when to exit’ problem daksh mentioned is rarely a knowledge gap, it’s that in the moment, the plan gets rewritten by emotion. Curious if others have found anything that actually holds up once you’re already in a losing position, not just before entering.
Position sizing is one of the most common mistakes traders make, and I’m no exception. We usually start trading only after validating that our strategy has a positive edge, but even a good strategy can be undermined by poor position sizing. Looking back, position sizing has been the biggest reason for my struggles. I’m still underwater after 430 days because of the mistakes I made in managing my position size.
