Overtrading
Taking more trades than needed, with no setup, out of boredom or to make up for losses; it piles up costs and lowers decision quality.
Every trade pays spread + commission; low-quality trades drag expectancy negative. A daily trade limit and a "setup checklist" are the most effective brakes.
Good traders mostly wait; not trading is also a decision.
