My worst trade was due to fear... and the next one, due to euphoria
In my first months in crypto, I made impulsive decisions. I sold when the price dropped a bit out of fear of 'losing it all', and I bought when it went up quickly because I felt like 'I was missing out'.
📉 I sold at a loss out of fear.
📈 I bought high out of euphoria.
And in both cases... I ended up losing.
Over time, I understood that the market is not only driven by numbers, but also by emotions, and that one of the worst mistakes is to let emotions dominate your decisions.
🧠 Self-control is more valuable than any technical indicator.
Now I apply these principles:
✅ Before trading, I breathe and review my plan
✅ I never make decisions in moments of panic or euphoria
✅ If I feel anxious, I prefer not to trade
✅ I keep a decision journal to analyze my emotions
Today I not only trade with data, but also with emotional awareness.
💬 Have you ever made decisions based on fear or emotion? Tell me! Surely your story can help someone else.
