A devoted trader and someone who knows about how the bear market and bull function can never make same mistake, this is excluding knowing about technical
The thing is, if you keep making same mistakes for the past 5 years then I must you are not taking trading serious or it's not meant for you, meaning it would b more better you do investment than trading.

Making trading mistakes in five years that are very long time possibly causes very big fund loss that can be an ending of that trader in trading career. You can lose all your money even within shorter period than five years if you are a very bad trader and has practice of using all money you have for trading.

Like I know, when a trader has mentor it becomes that easier for them to reduce the rate at which they could have been losing more money
