👀 When tariffs drive emotions…
The announcement of new tariffs on Chinese goods is not just headlines. For a trader, it's a trigger. Markets react immediately: stocks fall, gold rises, investors panic or rejoice. But the question is not about the news itself — the question is about your reaction.
The psychology of trading matters here more than any analytical report.
• Will you let fear make you sell in a panic?
• Or will greed push you into a wrong bet "on the rebound"?
• Will you keep a cool head, remember your plan, and wait out the noise?
A successful trader is not the one who predicts every tweet from a politician. It is the one who knows themselves, their strategy, and does not let emotions take the wheel.
Psychology is your main indicator. Do not ignore it.
