DCG AI Trading Pitfalls — What Every New Trader Must Avoid
90% of new traders lose money in their first year. The good news? 95% of AI trading failures are preventable with the right education.
Here are the Top 6 Pitfalls that derail most traders (and the prompts that prevent them):
❌ Pitfall #1: Treating AI as a Crystal Ball
  • Blindly following AI recs without understanding risk
  • Hoping for effortless profits instead of learning
  • ✅ Solution: Use AI as a research assistant, not a fortune teller.
❌ Pitfall #2: Ignoring Risk Management
  • Oversizing trades because “AI said so”
  • Forgetting stops and account limits
  • ✅ Solution: Pre-set rules for position size, stops, drawdowns.
❌ Pitfall #3: Letting Emotions Override AI Analysis
  • FOMO, revenge trading, panic exits
  • ✅ Solution: Run “cooling-off” protocols + use AI for objective review.
❌ Pitfall #4: Asking AI the Wrong Questions
  • Vague prompts = vague answers
  • ✅ Solution: Always include account size, timeframe, risk tolerance, and desired analysis.
❌ Pitfall #5: Skipping Foundational Knowledge
  • Jumping straight to AI without basics
  • ✅ Solution: Build a 30-day learning curriculum before trading live.
❌ Pitfall #6: Trading Live Without Testing
  • Using real money before back-testing /paper trading
  • ✅ Solution: Back-test at least 2 years, paper trade for 3 months, track win/loss and drawdowns.
🛡️ Reality Check: Even the best AI gets trades wrong 40–50% of the time. Your job is to combine AI insights with risk management + human judgment.
