The biggest mistake I made is to join Moomoo. This app is so different from other ordinary apps, the interaction is so addictive and it keep consuming my life. So many crazy brothers and kuku sisters in moomoo family. Those moderator also don't need to sleep one, so many activities for us to play, those position, patterns and climax orgasm. I know is wrong that i a bit out of control, that why i going to divert my attention by visiting those Japanese AV website more to keep my illness under control. Wish those brothers and sisters can understand me.![]()

I started trading in June and made few mistakes which I learned my lessons from them. Hopefully by mentioning them here, it helps other fellow traders to learn from them and avoid making the same ones.
1. I was using other platforms to trade passively for many years but when I started to become more active, the difference in commission charges began to make a huge different. Before using Moomoo, for the initial 3-4 months of active trading, the total commission charged was over $3k, which took...

2. Trading without a Stop Loss.
3. Revenge trading.
4. Trading like every trade will 🚀🌛

Not truly understanding penny stocks.
Got hosed. Got wise and Got to studying about buying volatile stocks. Hindsight is 20/20 but I Digress.
Still Very Important lesson learned...
Do the DD on Everything and don't fall victim to what people say is a good buy because in the market no one can predict exactly what's going to happen.
Only trust your DD and if it happens to coincide with your research you maybe on to something. Trust in your self and know when to take profits over greed.
Happy Holidays to my fellow MooMoo's!

1) I only invest in companies whose business I understand.
2) I do my due diligence. I study their financial reports. I try to pay attention to industry developments and regulatory changes.
3) I only invest with money I do not need in the short term after setting aside sufficient funds for emergencies.
4) I split my purchases or do DCA. This helps me to avoid timing the market and detach my emotions from the action of investing.
5) Be greedy when others are fearful. A market correction offers the best opportunity to buy undervalued companies.

Tiggerpepper : Don’t sell your losers , including the bankrupt companies.
Kwa Hock : Horse
rear gun
Jamesim : Fall in love to the stock. Never break up with them in right time.
苹果万能 : My biggest mistake is that every time the stock market starts, I see a few stocks go up, and I buy them along. As a result, I lose money every time, haha
Dino 64 : Slow down. Take a step back. Not to watch constantly in panic mode when things drop. Fluctuation is part of the game. learn more about the stocks looking into not just the numbers but the overall company and history.
