š§ Whatās Your Biggest Trading Obstacle?
Itās not market swings.
Itās not those huge whales.
Itās not even breaking headlines.
Itās youāyour own psychology is the battleground, and far too many traders lose before they ever place a second trade.
Hereās how we trip ourselves up:
š„ 1. Chasing Losses
After a losing trade, you immediately jump back ināangry and desperate to break even. Thatās not strategic trading; itās emotional gambling.
šØ 2. Succumbing to FOMO
You spot a wild green candle and convince yourself you have to buy right now. But did your setup actually signal an entry? Noāit was pure fear of missing out, setting you up to get trapped.
š„ 3. Overtrading
Canāt find a solid setup? Doesnāt matterāyouāll force one. Youāre bored and crave action. But more trades donāt equal more profit; they usually equal more mistakes.
ā 4. Skipping Stop-Losses
You whisper, āItāll bounce backā¦ā and hold on, only to watch that position bleed more. Suddenly, youāre not tradingāyouāre stuck with a mountain of regret.
šÆ 5. Abandoning Your Plan Mid-Trade
One red candle appears and you panic, tossing your strategy aside. Congratsāyou went from disciplined strategist to improvising on the fly.
š” My Solution:
Trade less. Think more.
Stick to your rules like a daily ritualāyou wouldnāt skip brushing your teeth, so donāt skip your checklist. Track every trade and your emotionsānumbers donāt lie, but you sometimes will. Master your mindset first, and the profits will naturally follow. ā¤ā¤ā¤
